[noble radish]

Multiplayer for Arena. Number of players subject to change. It can be any number we want really. But for obvious reasons powers of 2 are ideal, so most likely 4 or 8.

[worn tree]

Sir, do rewards continue until the end of the month?

[noble radish]

They will continue until we release the new mode. And it's not confirmed we will stop them. It's a marketing call. But I'll push strongly to stop rewards for the first 2 weeks of the new release. And include a full rating reset.

Then let you all go ham.

[worn tree]

Exquisite, thx for the info. Really excited for this.

[granite osprey]

I play some autochess.I don't want ILV become 8player as TFT.ILV is very fine system and game concept.you can try patch for more Esports or more fun before change game concept. this game is fine.

[noble radish]

The game that's coming out this month is just an improvement to the existing 1 v1 mode.

The long term game mode we are developing is a multiplayer mode. But we think there will be people that like both so it makes sense to have them both since they hit different markets. It's not a lot of time to add it, all things considered.

[warm rivet]

Love to hear it Aaron! Great work!🙌🏻🙏🏻

[warm rivet]

Def dont scrap the 1v1 for e-sport purposes 🙂

[quaint kite]

Im excited about that multiplayer, illuvium is getting more fun

[bronze spire]

work has been busy (work full time) and between trying to practice/find new meta for ladder and get the games in than coach my brother ive had very little time but going to prioritise it more going forward

@worn tree wow what a run! congrats man

Can we give him extra ILV for making smartass break his computer?

[worn tree]

Thank you brother ❤️

[worn tree]

Hahahahhaha did Smartass rly uninstall? I think he kept on playing after lose streaking against me

[bronze spire]

haha no idea I guess his used to tilting back to gold so probs fine

[worn tree]

hahahahahahaha, most likely 🤣

[bronze spire]

love to hear this 🙂

[supple beacon]

@vague karma Did you surrender? Let me give you a game back

Oh wow my account is unable to start games, I have lost twice in a row. I have the loading game buffer stuck every time I find a game, but if I click on the back button it makes me surrender or something... Just lost 80 points in 5 minutes 🙂

I'm scared to try a 3rd time...

[vague karma]

yeah, I surrendered

@granite osprey

[granite osprey]

I wanna done 15 game

[warped ocean]

is Warpwave bugged? its not casting

[rigid glen]

Did the illuvial with the augment die before the 7 seconds?

[warped ocean]

nope

[lavish python]

I notice that bug, it sometimes be like that when attached to rogues/slayers etc. the ones that teleport

[west quartz]

Can we get hints of what it will be like ? 😊

[zenith mortar]

Likely that rewards will be paused with the new game mode testing coming. We will have official announcement on it soon. But excited to have a new mode too.

[worldly token]

@next flame why am I always playing you when testing weird decks with my smurf? You farm elo on me xD

[gray fulcrum]

Anyone's got an idea of how to build a good team in today's survival? I'm pretty much stuck with today's illuvials

I know most don't play survival anymore but my crappy pc is giving me trouble with pvp so survival is all I got until I fix it

[west quartz]

@worn tree go tag i wanna do some mirrors 😄

[worn tree]

Sure, I am in game now. I will let you know and we search match at the same time

[worldly token]

So the "new" way the units gain energy when being attacked definately works.. when rhamphyre is attacked by 5 small fighter units (pho, lesser monkier, nature doka, relentless floralynx and ranger with nature sword) it will still cast before even getting remotely close to death. That sounds a little too harsh doesn't it? So it is not possible for small units to take down rhamphyre at all because as soon as it casts everything dies. There were no augments involved

[cyan olive]

making a unit not cast once is very difficult now, but one could also put 2 rogues next to it and it would likely get the cast and kill the small fighters anyways

[worldly token]

yeah, that for sure. I was just a little baffled that even without the rogues there was no chance

[worn tree]

@west quartz when you answer this message, i click search match

[west quartz]

go

[worn tree]

there we go hahaah

[safe valve]

Imagine a rhamphyre in the wild sees those little buggers and gets humilated by them...
No, he smirks... casts a Ring of fire and maybe eats one of them afterwards

[worn tree]

gg brother!

[west quartz]

do you stop playing ?

[worn tree]

No, want another one?

[west quartz]

yh keep going

[worn tree]

when you answer this message i click

[west quartz]

go

[clear hinge]

Something changed after last patch??

[green helm]

What is blind?

[worn tree]

Bug report: there is an issue with the undo button. If after doing an action, you click your item list, but do nothing with the selected item, when you click undo, last binding action is not undone.

[west quartz]

@topaz lake when we stack several rogues on the same vertical line, how does tghe game determines which unit will land in the exact opposite position and which unit will be moved ?

[west quartz]

you can't auto attack

[west quartz]

you do not wanna ask this rn xD

[next flame]

Thanks bro i love your contribution to the real farm!

When they change the games played for rewards to 50 games or more then you wont have to play your smurf! 🙂

https://tenor.com/view/theo-von-gif-2501369833236591112

[west quartz]

nobody wants tyo play 50 games atm

cut off for top 10 would be at 1400 lmao

[silver merlin]

Is the snapshot list from yesterday already known?

[next flame]

I play way more than 50 games cause I enjoy the game heaps of fun testing stuff out! Maybe they should reward games played lol

[silver merlin]

That's basically now already, need to play at least 15 games

[hot pond]

Do we have a confirmed date when leaderboard rewards will stop? So I have less reason to play this cancer meta 😂😂

[next flame]

You got 4 accounts so that's only 60 games right?

[silver merlin]

3 accounts, so 45 games

[silver merlin]

New mode soon, then 1-2 weeks no rewards afaik

[next flame]

Same same save you time changing accounts then with 50 games??

[west quartz]

not yet

[worldly token]

how das energy resist and physical resist actually work? For example: having 7 bulwarks they get 120 resist? Wou

Wouldnt that make them invincible?

[cyan olive]

blind means autos do no dmg, think they still give energy, disarm is you can´t auto as far as I am aware

[cyan olive]

1 point of resistance gives you 1% extra effective hp
e.g. 1000hp, 0 resistance, you need 1000dmg, with 50 resistance you need 1500, aka 33% dmg reduction, 100 resistance 2000 dmg, aka 50%, 200 resiatance 3000dmg, aka 66% reduction

You can scroll down until you see your rank

[cyan olive]

yeah can keep scrolling

@dark scaffold idk who else to tag sry, seems like you can´t scroll further than 601 on leaderboard atm

[dark scaffold]

checking on my end

[desert rose]

Top600 won't let me look here anymore

I refreshed the page and even tried to connect VPN O_O

[safe valve]

I can scroll further but from rank600 there is a Big gap to Like 1400

[cyan olive]

interesting I can´t go deeper than 601

[west plume]

If you start a new account, what rank do you start with?

A buddy asked is all

[safe valve]

You Start playing the smurf game?

[west plume]

What,no

It's a friend asking

soooo

what rank does new people start at?

[west plume]

@zenith mortar

i would like to file a complaint.

[turbid osprey]

750

[west plume]

really

My friend is way higher than that

was hoping for like a nice 1500

[fallen vortex]

So I tried playing 2 matches yesterday. But I came against people in like 300 elo and gained 1 poiny

Anyone know what thats about?

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/listening-go-on-gif-27519524

[west quartz]

yep

no one wants to play this sh*tty meta

so q is empty

[turbid osprey]

300 is so low that they dont find anyone so anyone quite low will get them

[west quartz]

so you play your coinflip with an outcome of +8 -27

[west plume]

Got it sorted

[west quartz]

only seen 2 people above 1800 play today

[west plume]

New players starts at 750 and i just lost a match because i was in here.

new team i made.

[west plume]

i hope i get matched with @proven coral

[silver isle]

what elo is top 400 at right now?

[west quartz]

low

[silver isle]

so i have a chance if i grind then 😆

[turbid osprey]

Just play 15 games and you will be in top 400

[west quartz]

yeah that should be enough

[hot pond]

I don’t even care about it anymore. Just trying out random things right now. I refuse to use those rats

[wispy schooner]

Are there rewards for being top of leaderboard

[west quartz]

come give me your elo i need 3 more win before i can stop this madness 🙏🏼

[hot pond]

I literally went from plat with 1850 to 1450 in silver right now. Such a joke meta 😂

[west quartz]

nice perf

[hot pond]

I think I gave away enough Elo like this already

[west quartz]

in a single day i did 1824 > 1550 > 1790

[worn tree]

Hahahahahhahahahhaha

[west quartz]

and i got none of it :/

[worn tree]

I think I know why 🤔

[west quartz]

enlighten me

[worn tree]

🤫

I pushed my smurf from 1300 to 1850 in a couple days 💪🏻

Finally got it to a decent level

[west quartz]

🤷‍♂️

[west plume]

Sharing is caring

[west quartz]

gotta love having to win 3 games to make up for 1 loss

aaaaaaand we're back 3 games behind.

[hot pond]

You wanna give me elo?

[west quartz]

dude i'm feeding the whole ladder all day

[silver merlin]

around 1400

[cursive echo]

me too 1750 > 1000 > 1500> 1600> 1450

[civic grotto]

1 step forward, 3 steps back for me

Gonna visit bronze soon to see what's up

[hardy minnow]

See you down sir haha

[west quartz]

SA coaching starting to pay up 😂

the good news since it's random you just have to grind until you get a lucky draw

just made the -250 +250 24 hour challenge

it's excrutiating, but at least you know it eventually comes back up

[summer frigate]

Wen hotfix to inferno/dust ? 🌚

[west quartz]

aaron said we'll get the new game mode by end of month and apparently there won't be any fix until then

they're also discussing stopping the leaderboard reward

[serene shard]

haven't play the game in a while, but does composite classes no longer add the threshold count for their primary class?

[zenith bough]

They do. Maybe you have Illuvials of the same line

[serene shard]

i just checked, a granite unit doesn't add the count for earth synergy

[worldly token]

@next flame got lucky there! My Gyro somehow twice started to roll and did not do the omega at all and stopped xD gg

[next flame]

Hey mate I didn't see that happened hope you sent a bug report for it! Make illuvium greater! GG WP

[polar willow]

they should put on where they post the leaderboard, the rating of each player so we know how much is the last place or something

i have no idea if i was close or not

[fallen vortex]

I cant even play 15 games. It's just people with 300 rating back to back.

I just wanna test my updated team against dust revenant

[worldly token]

I did send a bug report 👍 that's what the beta is for

[cyan olive]

everything outside of rhamphyre, that is remotely real beats that team

[fallen vortex]

All I needed to hear 😛

[cyan olive]

is your team remotely real? 😅

[fallen vortex]

Its Rhamphyre but I am building a secondary mode into it

Just knowing the second mode doesnt need much

is enuf

[clear hinge]

ring timer is little bit short.
Amount of health regen for verdant is too many or too fast.

[fallen vortex]

Update: it didn't really work. Although going a colossus verdant mode against revenant dust was highly effective it cost them basically nothing to switch 1 illuvial into rhamphyre and swap weapon, since inferno single handedly wipes it. My normal rhamphyre mode wins against this but it costs me about 3x more to pivot and cover my bases. It's simply too expensive for me to avoid being melted by rhamphyre.

I think a new strategy might be adding colossus verdant to fit in with my existing team so it's not so expensive and at the very least give me a 50/50 against dust rev. I have some ideas, even titanor/gnarl/archeleon should just win on their own

[cyan olive]

that´s just how it is atm, rhamphyre beats more or less everything that beats the revenant team, so you flip coin on which team they play/you play next turn, as swapping team even with mastery point penalty outperforms, due to polarizing matchups

[fallen vortex]

Yeah can u explain why they broke inferno to help counter bulwarks instead of just nerfing bulwarks?

Statistically u can just look at the inferno update and ask yourself if it's the right thing to do

[raven obsidian]

Is there a bug fix in the works for the survival mode where the frames per second drop drastically the further you go? waves 20+ drop down to 30 fps ish and get even lower by wave 30.

[cyan olive]

rhampyhre wasn´t a real unit before buff to it+ inferno, trying a buff only makes sense, the addition of the energy gain from damage makes it hard for meele stuff to kill it now though, Inferno itself etc. is prob fine or close to it

if we had more composites without ranger bonding things might just be okay as well, shock could be good to snipe ranger/rhamph or small rogues protectinc it/spread your team, having enchanter without ranger bonding could give more shield/damage, having dust without bonding would force rhamph into immune augment while you could have another wincon and rhamph is weaker due to augment etc.

if rhamph misses omega it still isn´t that good a unit, otherwise we´d play inferno without revenant/phantom

[fallen vortex]

I'd argue I am winning off inferno. Not so much Rhamph omega

[cyan olive]

issues for stuff like invokers imo is they don´t have good 20-40 cost augment options and their early game is too weak after recent nerfs compared to when we played them and they had okay turns 2-4

[fallen vortex]

But I agree a lack of options is making the game worse than it would be

[cyan olive]

inferno itself would do nothing to any enchanter/verdant/mystic/healing setup

we also don´t have any good ranged carry options atm

which would be good vs rhamphyre to some extend

after gauntlet/arcanite/invoker are rip

imo issue is we do have a good rock paper scossors setup, like we had most patches, but now it is optimal to play 2+ out of those 3 in one team with almost no downside, so everything is guess the right polarizing teamcomp and that strat is better than e.g. core team + slight techs and more lategame, as extra lategame doesn´t matter due to how polarizing the matchups are

[fallen vortex]

I suppose that's fair. My colossus verdant died to the omega. But with the change to gain on being attacked its practically impossible to eliminate rhamphyre pre cast and it heals so much from it's omega

[worn tree]

@fallen vortex , you got it all right. Question is if the team will bother on hot fixing this before new game mode or not.

[noble radish]

We will probably not hot fix anything since I've given them an unreasonable goal and they have all said they will hit it.

The goal now is to get the new ruleset out to you ASAP and let you play with it, warts and all.

I know some people won't like everything, but we're pretty sure that we are going in the right direction.

Probably one of the scarier things we are doing is saying you have to own a whole line to be able to play it. We don't HAVE to do this, but it simplifies a decent amount and makes the team builder a nicer experience.

[worn tree]

Sounds great to me Aaron! New mode is top prio as current game, while I love it, I know it won't hit mass adoption.

[worn tree]

Hmmm owning a whole line is very rough. Too much frition perhaps for users. Good to know you can adjust this

[noble radish]

That's fair because internally I don't think anyone loves the old mode. The new rules do make matches more dynamic, and they flow a bit better. (A bit slower too). There are other things we are thinking about, but that won't go in this update because we don't want to do work that we think MIGHT be wasted.

All the features we are releasing we think are going to be enjoyed by most.

[worn tree]

Super exciting. Pretty sure this new game mode will bring in more game variability and ability to pivot in-game.

[noble radish]

It's actually not quite as crazy as you think. First of all, non holos we don't want to be SUPER expensive. Secondly remember that to own a whole line you'd need 13 stage 1. To own the Stage 3 you need 9. So we're not talking about a huge increase.

[worn tree]

You guys know it better than anyone, I trust your judgement

[noble radish]

Well we trust you guys. So that's why we're trying to get something out soon.

[worn tree]

Hahahahah, in trust we trust!!! Can't wait to test new game mode and provide my honest feedback!!

[noble radish]

Then you can tell us what you like and don't. As I said, there are other things we'd like to do, or at least consider doing so we will first see how close we are to a good system before we build those.

[fallen vortex]

Is there harm in telling the community how it works so we can provide feedback before actually building it? Even if it's minor stuff? Does it slow the dev process too much idk haha

[noble radish]

It can obstruct it because just telling people what we are doing isn't really enough for people to fully get what the changes might mean. I'm not saying that in a condescending way. It's just that sometimes little things get lost when you aren't playing it. And we're trying to build fast enough that we don't stop to wait for feedback from people that won't get their hands on it until after the internal testing.

However, we have build the things now so there's not really any harm. One of the main points is were taking Augments out of the team builder. They are no longer an NFT that you build. Instead, they are simply part of the game. Similar to legendary augments, except you'll get a random set of 3 to choose between and have to pick one. (Your opponent will get a different set of 3). This is how Augments get into your hand now.

So team builder is faster since you don't have to worry about this. And the games are more dynamic since you can't just pick the perfect augments. There are also many more of them and they are simpler.

Hyper also has some changes to make it more impactful, where you get both a ramp up and a boost when you hit 100%.

Also Dominant Synergies are more predicable. They have been simplified so the later stages in the line always have the same as the stage 1. We found through testing almost nobody was picking the 'worse' version and there weren't many times when both where very viable. So this does drop complexity in favour of making easier for people to start.

[cursive echo]

a lot of luck in the augments 👀

[noble radish]

Each augment is useful, so it's more about being able to adapt better than your opponent. One of the things that needs improvement in the current game is how similar most matches are. It's pretty stale. There's some ways to help it out, like giving rerolls but we haven't implemented that just because we want to see how it is "raw" before working on any possible QOL.

In any case, we have a few people on the team that are very high level players and even they find this much better. Because learning to adapt is a skill, and it's harder to adapt if you just tunnel onto one comp. We don't want that. We want varied matches.

[cursive echo]

@cyan olive your opinion ?

[noble radish]

The final change is about the flow of the game. You cannot just plonk down a stage 3. Which makes your team carousel much cleaner and flow more nicely.

[cursive echo]

I like this

[noble radish]

You have to start small, and build out from there. Building up a team is something people tend to really like, and ours isn't quite as 'buildy' as other games. It's not TFT or Underlords, but it does increase the feeling of building towards something fun and powerful.

[safe valve]

But sounds Like a Big pivot in the direction of tft... Which isn't Bad imo, they made some good fewtures

[bronze spire]

I think this is a great change

[cursive echo]

BIG

https://tenor.com/view/space-nation-spacenationol-spacenationolnft-gif-5697587515974543331

[noble radish]

Give us a few weeks.

[cyan olive]

I am looking forward to it

[dawn isle]

If Augments aren’t NFTs that can be built, does that mean essences from plants will be eliminated from OW? Or will there be a new use for them in crafting?

[noble radish]

New use for them.

They had other planned uses too.

[dawn isle]

I saw great earning potential in gathering essences and crafting augments to sell, I hope the new uses for essences can be just as impactful and needed by players.

[fallen vortex]

Idk how the choosing between 3 thing is gonna go but I feel like removing augments from the team builder is going to be a huge win for all the reasons you just said. It's a shame your augments won't carry over from the overworld but the promise is to have illuvials represented in all games. Maintaining that focus is a net positive imo.

Thanks for everything you shared I really appreciate it

[fallen vortex]

I mean to capture more rare illuvials you'll need to use augments to assist in your adventures. I think that's enough imo

[safe valve]

He said they no longer nfts, i doubt they going to be used in OW as they are now

[fallen vortex]

True true. I mean there's something to be said about having 'too many collections'. When a project has 10 collections it tends to be ultra confusing and painful. Less clutter is good

[safe valve]

Probably. I Like the depth it offers me, but i guess many feel overwhelmed

[worn tree]

Man, this looks so fucking promising. My thoughts in a nutshell are:

1. Team builder complexity reduction is super important for player onboarding. Keeping it is also very important as the collection aspect is rock solid in illuvium's IP and blockchain tech. Pivoting towards simpler teambuilder is a key step imho.

2. In-game augments synergyzes with the above and open game variability. Just great. It is important than augments are well balanced though. Current legendary augments are far from being balanced.

3. Super in favor of buffing hyper. Increases the importance of composition development and won't allow for one trick pony comps as a full hyper enemy board should smash even the strongest meta.

4. Good simplification on dominant synergies. Maybe I will miss it some times but all in all it is what it is and its a net positive.

5. And finally, the fact that you have to develop the board to reach higher stage illuvials with lower stage one first is extremely interesting. This kills the capacity to fully pivot teams.

The game will change a lot from now with all of these changes. Deciding which way you go in the early game will strongly impact in the matchup development.

Very promising!!!

@vague karma lol, while I was writting all of this I was afk and I just gave you 35 elo 😄

[noble radish]

Only comment I will make is that pivoting is still very much possible and in some ways easier.

[noble radish]

Suits Weapons Illuvials is going to be our main focus for interporability. There's other things that go between games, but these are the core items.

[worn tree]

I see. Really curious to see the details. I shall wait 😄

[west quartz]

So we’ll still face the possibility of a full comp swap, but not in a single turn right ?

[noble radish]

Yeah pretty close to that. In any case have a good morning/day/night and we will let you know when it's scheduled to release soon. Like I said, give us a few weeks.

[supple beacon]

Yes as long as it is not in a single turn

[west quartz]

Yup, the issue with the comp swap is the flippy side of making the full swap in a turn, having to take several turns to swap seems good

[onyx sundial]

Really like these changes @noble radish , looking forward to playing it

[hardy minnow]

We're gonna test it all out and send all the bugs that we can find to refine it to perfection! lets go haha

[noble radish]

Let's be honest. You're going to spend the two weeks trying to get as good as possible for when rewards kick back in so you're up the top of the leaderboard.

[gritty wren]

really cool, so good that you listen to our feedback and came up with new ideas

[noble radish]

TBH a lot of these were things we were thinking before we even released it, but we wanted to get it out to you guys first. There have been plenty of changes from the community though.

[cyan olive]

😦

[west quartz]

Yup, that’s exactly what we’re gonna do 😂

[cursive echo]

swap 7 psion 👀 😢

[cyan olive]

some keyboards will be smashed

[lean ivy]

I actually noticed this in overworld. I like the new UI with the Arrows makes it easier to understand. Excited to see this new mode.

[vague karma]

I thought you were giving elo for free xD

[worn tree]

hahahahahah, not at that point just yet LULZ

[high snow]

Do you guys know which accounts in the top 10 are frequently playing? It seems I only see like 4 of those 10 people actively playing and in the last leaderboards.

[worn tree]

You can check in illuvimaster their match history if interested.

[high snow]

the dates there always show "just now" or "processing"

[gloomy barn]

Any chance we can get the rest of the illuvial lines in when the new mode is released? Thanks for all the updates @noble radish

This is a recent error, ususally it shows the day the games were played

Where can I see the illuvium rank? the one on the website is embarrassing and doesn't seem to work.

i feel like its a bug if a unit is rooted and it still goes airborn right? or does root not affect being able to go airborn?

[fossil plover]

Those changes seem really positive - the way it has been until now hadn't grabbed me due to the perceived complexity and having to put so much effort into it; such as understanding and managing all those augments . Making it more accessible to casual players is super important, and as long as there's enough scope for the people that want to get sweaty with it then that's great

[west quartz]

no one from displayed top 10 is playing

guesss and web3 probably have to finish their game

sandy and nylerxz are done

the rest don't play

viper might at some point

idk if zadkiel is done

but you can overall assume that top 10 is very unlikely to play

even top 25 doesn't play much

[silver merlin]

We need a reset soon, very hard to climb if higher people dont play and only facing lower ranks

[karmic token]

I already gave up..

[wicked cloak]

I think web3 finshed, guesss I’m not sure

[wicked cloak]

I think they are just leaving everything like this until new game mode

[silver merlin]

Yeah sadly I think you are right

Guess I'll grind the same 15 games on each account again

[edgy flower]

I think after the new mode there will be a hard reset, so no point to hold top1, only for rewards

[cyan olive]

only reason is to not give +30 elo hits away

[silver isle]

game crashed just to reconnect to an empty arena :/

and forced to surrender 👍

[wicked cloak]

Yeah

[noble radish]

Very unlikely. We are trying though.

[unborn fiber]

Just got 1470ish in ranking

Took me 2 weeks

Really possible there is like 400 people stuck at 1372 past this your on leaderboard!

[turbid osprey]

Those people, if they are people, never played a single game of their lives. Its just inactive accounts that used to have the starter 1500 elo and got soft reset there

[unborn fiber]

Oh ok got it!

But i mean its duable to be on leaderboard without playing 4 month straigt

[echo yew]

Just the same deck

[gentle bronze]

Any updates on the TL tournament and who will be commentating it?

[gentle bronze]

Also are these 3 augments that we get randomly replacing the legendary augment phase or is it an additional phase in the game?

[noble radish]

Additional. Legendary are powerful. No cost to any of them.

[gentle bronze]

no cost as in you can play them without using mastery points?

[noble radish]

Yep.

[edgy bough]

My best guess is close to OB but team has been silent on this for ages

[karmic token]

You can't build a deck without the mice line, so stupid. you can't put so much omega damage, and some omega abilities unusable..

[open wave]

hello team! i am new, i would like to invest 500usd approx in this game. What would be my estimated profit per month?

[west quartz]

nobody can answer that

and anyone that does you should block them cause it's probably bs

[open wave]

tyy!

[green helm]

Why does Rhamphyre sometimes not do damage with his omega power?is a bug'

[bronze spire]

for whats its worth i like pivots in the game. I dont play them often but when the opponent does it makes it very interesting for me

[vernal forum]

Two possibilities. First, rhamphyre can be cc’d by stun, root, etc and will do no damage with omega or 2) if rhamphyre OP is dropped to 0 by dust or anything else he will do zero damage omega.

[bronze spire]

throw a 20 cost immune on omega aug on him

[green helm]

okey ty

[karmic token]

Sure it's a bug, I always get this, and it's not the only illuvial that doesn't take damage, or it can be blind but most of the time it doesn't take damage.

[gloomy barn]

Appreciate you and the team bustin your ass to make the arena a better experience asap.

[obtuse imp]

The current meta is so bad

i want to cut my dick

playing the game

see you

[bronze spire]

LOL

[odd wren]

why does the 3s immune removes dust debuff completely? Didn't it used to only prevent new stacks agaisnt mud

(Removes for the immune duration)

[vernal forum]

With mud, it temporarily removes all stacks then they appear after the immune wears off.

The cleanse does nothing to mud, I think.

[odd wren]

Guess it's been to long 😂

Thanks

[noble radish]

I would love a few more pings to the team, especially in the positive vibes channel. Can’t tell you how nice it is to get a ping saying that someone likes something you did.

And in this case, I’m pretty useless and the team deserves all the credit.

[worldly jolt]

Anyone remember when we used to say there won’t be a meta?

[fallen vortex]

This sums it up super well and I agree with all your points.

[fallen vortex]

Sounds good to me. Especially since fps games are so popular. So keeping weapons as a focal point makes sense long term

[gloomy barn]

And lightsabers! Lol

[fallen vortex]

Goes without saying

[vernal forum]

Illuvium Arena will look and play very different if things are B-A-L-A-N-C-E-D.

I wouldn't even consider what we've done up to now "giving this game mode an honest shot" because we've all been funneled into playing just a few things that are clearly OP at a time. When everything has a proper power level it will be so much more fun, interesting, dynamic, challenging, unique, all the adjectives.

[gloomy barn]

Break it so you can fix it

[fallen vortex]

Imo balance isn't even half of it. It's variety. Of course u run a strong comp that u r forced to run by bonding and then secondarily its something like colossus or Frost. There are like 5 composites that don't require the ranger

[vernal forum]

To keep it positive - I have full faith we're going to get there - because the folks doing the work are amazing and have produced incredible results time and time again.

[fallen vortex]

Everything else does. Imo we needed the remaining illuvials to test. Hindsight I guess

For a 'proper test' u know

[vernal forum]

More Illuvials will help, but not without balance. More Illuvials without balance just adds to the frustration because people will try to play them only to find out they are unplayable. Balance should be first and foremost, but everyone is clearly not in agreement with me on this. I'd love to know why.

[odd wren]

I agree, I get the team has other priorities but to properly test a game mode it has to be somewhat balanced. The new mode seems promising but it needs to be balanced to be properly tested

The patch we got where we had the most viable teams was just prior to the augments change.

[calm steeple]

Not sure why people think that balancing is easy and a finite activity, it's an infinitely ongoing task that takes tons of time and effort, there is no way around it. You can't just throw all your resources at it and be done with it forever in a short time. Even TFT, which has a team with immense experience can't make the game balanced, there is always a comp that is OP, but because all 8 players can't go for it, you need to play other things. If TFT augments can make an otherwise not very good comp into a beast, maybe something like that can be achieved here, if you get specific augments suddenly you could beat the comp that is supposed to beat your comp if you play it right. Just check what kind of balancing decisions were made by the TFT team within the first year, they learned to make better decisions and so will Illuvium team.

[odd wren]

The goal is not to make a new tft. It already exists and is popular. It can share similarities. Balance is less important when the pool is shared. If a comp is op in TFT and you force it every game, you'll be contested.

In Illuvium arena 1v1, YOU bring a deck into the game which makes balance a whole lot more important. I'm not saying it is easy but when you read a patch note and know whats good at first glance, it's not ideal.

No one will bring a team that has 1/20 chance of being good with an augment.

This game mode is a good start and hopefully the next game mode is even better. But to to appreciate a 1v1 game it has to achieve a certain level of balance. A balanced game is as important for release as an interesting game mode. Again, I'm not saying balancing is easy but when we get large infrequent patches it doesn't help.

It's probably a good idea to wait for the new game mode but I feel the team underestimate the importance of balance. We dismiss ideas based on unbalanced states

[summer frigate]

How will they integrate NFTs into a mode that's like TFT? And a mode like tft is much better imo, they could even add a 2v2 mode 👌🏼

[odd wren]

That I don't know😄 Personally I prefer 1v1s for competitive settings. Might not be the best for mass adoption tho

[spring marsh]

Hello guys. Is arena rewards still active? Because I do not see last snapshots in pinned messages

[supple beacon]

Tbh I am scared of the development team following feedback from "good players from other games" that do not play illuvium, and likely will never play it. But I can't wait to be proven wrong. I think it is important to have a 1v1 game that is as less random as possible for competitive reasons, and a multiplayer game (battle royale and 2v2) that as random attributes and is more for fun.

[odd wren]

Yep, they release snapshots only when distribution has been made

[supple beacon]

There is a reason that it is never the same players at the winners of tft tournaments, it is because there is a lot of randomness. Over the long course the best player have better achievements, but they are still less likely to have repeat champions.

[calm steeple]

If the goal of the game is to become popular it would make sense to have a decent amount of randomness in it, so not the best players would also have a chance at big prizes. If the game is 100% skill like chess, it will attract way less players in comparison to something like poker, which has a ton of luck and randomness involved and is way more popular than chess.

[fallen vortex]

But thats where I disagree. I'm not entirely convinced balance exists. For example there's like 2 combinations that imperically win round 1, bulwark water and toxic colossus. It's simply the case because of the limited amount of possible combinations and the limited about of MP available round 1.

Now the more illuvials u add to the mix then the more combinations that become available. Alternatively you balance atlas and carablu, but they either always win or are garbage, there's no inbetween

Im exaggerating but u get my point

[odd wren]

At some point a lot of round 1 were being played and 3 water bw was really weak, just cost efficient for turn 2-3

You had like
5 fire
3 earth
Enchanter 3 air
Toxic
Fighters
Water bw
And so on

[bronze spire]

I think if something is only 1% better it can end up feeling like its OP and the other thing isnt playable. Its so hard balancing a 1v1 game

[odd wren]

And it's not just about 1 round, the game is about doing 1000 damage

[bronze spire]

i also think TFT is more competitive. Or at least im way more impressed by the decisions the best tft players have to make than i am of any 1v1

[supple beacon]

Are you saying chess is not a popular game? If anything we would be lucky to have a game as popular as chess

[supple beacon]

I agree there, but we are so early. I would not throw the current game mode out because of balancing issues. Before the tsunami meta it felt way more balanced, and I am sure we can achieve a better balance than that. But I guess my main point is people who love tft will play tft, lets not try to make a tft 2.0. We can of course use some of the most successfull part of it, but we need to be a complete different game

[calm steeple]

Chess is a popular game, but poker is way more popular, more fun and exciting to play and attracts more players and viewers. If you have a choice to make your game similar to chess or poker, the choice should be obvious if you want mass appeal.

[supple beacon]

A quick google would tell you that there are around 600 millions chess players and 100 millions poker players in the world. Not saying one is better than the other, but to say that poker is way more popular is just foolish.

[bronze spire]

Yea agreed. Team has said they will have multiple modes so will be a great test. I vouched for battle Royale like tft but premade decks like the current mode so it not just copying tft it’s just the easiest way to explain it haha

[supple beacon]

There is value in both a chess like game and poker like game, that is why a good 1v1 base on strategy, and a good multiplayer with more randomness is needed. That way you have a game closer to chess and a game closer to poker in terms of randomness.

[calm steeple]

Follow the money, which tournaments get bigger prize funds and viewership. Its not even close.

[supple beacon]

Try to find a streamer with more viewers than Hikaru, good luck

Poker is a game base on money, of course prize pools are gonna be bigger 😂

[calm steeple]

He had a stream with 5k views 4 days ago, surely there are more watched streamers in many categories. Chess is very skill based game, probably close to 100%. Average players might watch it, but they would never participate in any major tournaments or win them. Many poker tournaments have been won by newbie players, in reality worse players will never be in + but at least there is a illusion and that attracts players.

[supple beacon]

You still did not find a streamer, and you are singling out a single day. Also the bigger part of his audience is youtube videos. Who cares if the newbies don't participate in the professional tournaments? Actually they should not try to make a game where a newbie is able to beat a professionnal player, that is just pure nonsense. You want to newbie to play the game and enjoy it, buy some nft, contribute to the economy. You don't want the newbie to try to beat pro players, this is how you drive pro players away

[worn tree]

A true player ❤️

[cyan olive]

I was sad when Hearthstone devs were following reddit feelings on what is the reason they win/lose instead of me or similar ones pointing out that those changes after feelings would cause other problems leaving the real problem causing card/strat untouched, then my predictions on what would be broken with their changes or ideas would come true most of the time and things would be worse

So far from my pov Illuvium Team is doing a better job at that and it is a beta, I assume if the goal was for every Illuvial to be playable bloom/invoker wouldn´t be so gutted e.g. I think community just has a disconnect of wanting polished game vs beta testing in that regard
(I know I complain about current patch a lot, but on a side of I think this is bad, I rather walk away atm than play it atm and here is why, not this useless "how could this ever be released" sentiment)

[cyan olive]

there is a difference between winning turn 1 with units, that are also good mid-late game and there is a difference winning by 170 or 80 damage as well

in e.g. arcanite mirrors aka water bulwark turn 1, players barely took damage every turn, or playing anything vs bloom arcanite, you win or lose by a unit/ranger, so we had games go to turn 6-8 on avg, now we had games end on turn 4 very often in recent metas, as the early turns leaded to more damage and the midgame fights were also 400-600dmg swings instead of 1 Illuvial with augments

[cyan olive]

side note I´d not be worried, but sad for myself if the game would go away from a deckbuilding direction too much, as those are rather high agency strategy games and I like that a lot, the amount of skill needed to have better decks than the others is insane, deeper than analyzing stats to know plays for TFT or just learning from many books etc. in perfect knowledge strategy games.
obv better deck =/ 100% win, but that´s fine for reasons you guys mentioned in the chat already

[green helm]

When did they pay the last rewards? on Monday?

[desert rose]

Hi, I'm new to this game. I devoted several hours a day to this game during the week, and now I have a 1200 rating. If I may, I'll give you a little feedback:

• There is no training at all. In the game there is also no way to gain knowledge step by step, for example, you can introduce missions where first we deal with classes, then with affinity, then we study composite interaction, the different positions of the units on the map, and what this leads to, and so on.. Just 5-6 simple missions, and any beginner could get into the game! The first two days of studying, I can’t start playing, I just read the wiki and watched guides on YouTube - a lot of people will simply drop out at this stage.
• I know that veterans of this game will scold me very much for this post, but.. The leaderboard rating should require a daily minimum of play. When I watch Twitch, a lot of top 1500+ rating players play on 2-3 accounts. This is not normal, and it will also alienate players who enter the game. For 2 seasons I was in the top100 of Axie Infinity, and I would like to give an example from there - need to play 5 games every day (only for hight rate) so as not to get a minus to your rating points. At the moment, I have also seen several times statements from top players that in recent days it is not profitable to play ranked at all..
• we need a layer of beginners, where a person at the beginning of the journey will feel comfortable experimenting with the deck. I don't know how to achieve this. (
• the information you share on discord. This is very cool, but all such information should be shared with the entire community.This should be in announcements, and should be available at the same time to everyone. This it is important, because... such things can be signals to sell or buy NFTs.
  English is not my native language, so I apologize if this was not clear. I really like being here, gl&hf to everyone

[west quartz]

just check people's play time

no matter how bad some things feel some of us remain massively addicted

kind of the best indicator

i don't go on discord to rant about a shitty game, i just uninstall it. the fact that we're sometimes mad and keep playing proves you're doing good 🙂

(you being the team)

[west quartz]

imo the last balanced meta was when we had technoleecher bug

[silver merlin]

i agree with you on most of the things. for the ratingdrop, there is a rule that you have to play at least 15 games a week to be elegible for rewards

[cyan olive]

sell unit get 100% refund bug was a good one as well, made early game playable for every comp and not only some all in cheese stuff

[west quartz]

true

[west quartz]

daily requirement is too punitive, even a pro playert may not be able to play 365 days a year

[clear hinge]

Ring damage helps revenant skill 😭

[wispy schooner]

so in ascend players will have all illuvials unlocked?

[cyan olive]

no, only atm for beta testing

[void cradle]

hello everyone

im new player

[little quail]

Welcome!

[cursive echo]

Personally I also prefer the 1 v 1 mode without rng

[cyan olive]

I think the "rng" needed for masses thing is overthinking it e.g. chess 600mil players, you want variance and agency as far as I understand, flipping coins isn´t cool for many, as most complaints in here have been about "I don´t like loosing due to matchup" that´s rng "I don´t like loosing to Team swap, side swap" etc. those are about a lack of agency, not rng, as the game has lots rng ever since tbh in current setting

e.g. TFT has lots of random events, but you have impact on them as a player, they aren´t blatant insane impact flips/dice rolls

[cursive echo]

I trust you 🤝 your lots of experience

[cyan olive]

from a player/creator side for sure, from a dev side idk 😅

[obtuse imp]

im leaving this fking game until your fix

this shit

is terrible

213213 shit mirror lates lost because the stuck bug

is not fun

people is playing because of the money

hotfix it or something

bye

[safe valve]

Always nice to see how respectful feedback can be given 🙃

[cyan olive]

why do I get timted out for "normal" words and cut veins is fine

this bot hates me I think

[vernal forum]

Although I understand @obtuse imp frustration - this is not the way.

I've been playing Overworld instead of Arena lately and it's pretty awesome. Maybe try that while we have some Arena "downtime".

[obtuse imp]

It was either writting something or breaking my monitor after losing the 10th time with better positioning in late because of a bug or a random shield timing killing

i am sorry

i will take a break of the game and just that

[vernal forum]

I feel ya. Yesterday, I literally walked my ass to my local store to buy a new mouse because the old one broke. I'll give you one guess as to how it magically broke and which game I was playing when the mouse repeatedly slammed itself into my desk all by itself until it was in many bite-size pieces.

A break really does me a world of good (I'm in overworld right now and it's like a breath of fresh air).

[obtuse imp]

the frustating part is losing because of XD, for example @turbid osprey outplayed me 5 times and is completely fine because you learn from it and you acknowledge that u are worse, but when u are better but the game decides that no you lose

[cursive echo]

this meta exhausts me psychologically 🧠

[desert rose]

yes, I know, but 15 games are played in 1-2 days..

[silver merlin]

yes but keep in mind we are still in beta, its just for bug tests

[west quartz]

pro tip : use a corded mouse, so that you can make it spin while holding the cord then throw it away on the wall. that's max damage

[wicked cloak]

Not sure if you were in here yesterday or day before, but yeah I’d just take a break for a couple weeks if you are feeling like this, Aaron has informed us a new game mode will be out by end of month, not hotfixes until then as they are testing how fast they can get this sort of thing out, also, we were informed a couple weeks ago, even though we all know what a beta is for, that they are more focused on testing for bugs in the game than balancing at the moment, rewards are just a little reward for our time, so hang in there brother

[cyan olive]

I said I´d stream arena again daily, anyone with ideas for fun teams to play? or is it rats mirror only?

[cyan olive]

same

[wicked cloak]

I think it’s viable to run behemoth/rats deck, opening is probably just sack but it’s better then straight mirror every game

[cyan olive]

more rats

[vernal forum]

Does it need to be arena? I’m enjoying overworld for now and I’d definitely tune into you playing OW.

[cyan olive]

I think when I did overworld>arena in the past around 50% less people were interested, but it is an option for sure

[worn tree]

What I don't get is why they don't easily hotfix rats, rha and dust. I mean, put down rats' omega ability scaling by 25%, put dust OP reduction as 7-14-20, adjust inferno to 1-2-4% and the game is actually ready for a great experience. These changes are simple and quick to make from a dev perspective and would make the meta 10x better.

Just a simple change that takes barely a day or two of a dev team, and you get your community happy.

Idk, to me is a no brainer.

About revenant, it also needs a change but that implies more game design testing and now its not the time. But oh boy did they overcommit with the rha buff.

[silver merlin]

Maybe the wildfire empath deck? Idk how it does into the rat deck tho

[cyan olive]

can´t beat dust

omega power to 0=0 healing etc.

[silver merlin]

Hmm

Then idk

[silver merlin]

The problem is that there will be something else OP discovered in a few days and people complain about that. They don't have time to keep adjusting everything even though I would very much like it too

[worn tree]

This is by far the worst meta state we have ever had. Only two comps are actually playable from a real competitive standpoint. These comps revolve around inferno, dust and revenant. These three composites are broken right now. Specially dust and inferno, they are so easy to fix.

[silver merlin]

True

I'm just gonna play ramphire and hope people keep giving me the 3 inferno

Only way to beat dust

[worn tree]

Not really

[desert rose]

Certainly! and I like this game 🚀
I just said my thoughts on this matter.

==

Guys, can you explain to me when the revenant's shield is triggered?
Sometimes I think I understand it, but then it doesn't work as I thought...

[silver merlin]

How else? Mirror?

[silver merlin]

If a unit with revenant kills an enemy unit

[desert rose]

hmm, ok, thx

need to look at this again 😅

[silver merlin]

What I think is kinda busted is that the whole team gets the shield instead of the revanant units

[vernal forum]

This is not the problem many think it is. The “problem” if there even is one, is that the team is not working on balance at the moment. I don’t think it needs to be a problem in the grand scheme of things because Illuvium is in the process of building the games and they have done what they believe is best to build those games. From a user perspective, it’s a bad experience, but I’m not sure that’s relevant to building a good game. I know how it feels to me as a person, but that is immaterial.

It could become a problem if they switch to balancing and struggle with that for any reason that could have been prevented by balancing all along.

[vernal forum]

This is incorrect.

Revenant units shield all friendly units in an area around them when they have either killed or assisted in a kill.

This may be where some are confused.

[vernal forum]

Also incorrect, see above comment.

[silver merlin]

If you tone something down, something else will become more powerful compared to that so its not totally true what you are saying although I get it and I agree let them focus on building now. Balance in open beta, which is ofcourse still a BETA and we will get there eventually

[silver merlin]

What?

Oh

Yeah oke you are right

Still think that is too powerfull, or too high of a shield

[desert rose]

yes, that's more like the truth! 🦊

[vernal forum]

Although what you are saying is objectively true, I believe it’s overblown. There is nothing Illuvium can nerf that will give something else the power level of 3% true damage to all enemy Illuvials while that unit lives after first omega. Sure, some things will incrementally improve after nerfs, possibly improve so much that it needs the nerf bat now, but it will be much more in line with the rest of the game. Think 1 standard deviation OP instead of 2 or 3 or whatever the heck inferno and dust and revenant are now. You take those down and I bet wildfire will be op. But, it will likely have more viable counters because its raw strength is lower than the others.

Add in the concept of momentum. We have been moving away from a balanced game for a patch or two now. Once balance becomes priority, each patch will see the game get better, not worse, and that will create much needed goodwill and positive vibes where many of us have the opposite experience with the latest patches that seek to test certain comps instead of make the game better.

[silver merlin]

True. Sadly illuvium strives for perfection before they release something new so we need to wait now

[fair hemlock]

Not necessarily:
#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[silver merlin]

Asap is another word for soon which I know has a different meaning in this project😂. Don't get me wrong I love the game and what the team is doing tho but realistically we get something end of the month

[worn tree]

That is true, right now what is strong is so oppressive it's not even funny.

[vivid stirrup]

i think it doesn't have to kill, assisting in killing should trigger it too

[worn tree]

Takedown means kill or assist.

So yeag

Also, it needs to be within 25-30 hexes close to the revenant unit

[gentle bronze]

that bug was surprisingly fun to play around with and ironically made the game feel way better

[gentle bronze]

This shit gave me a good laugh ty ser

[gentle bronze]

They have stated multiple times that they are working much faster than before. Likely due to the help of the epic games launcher, allocating more resources/man power to Arena/Overworld, etc. But I understand you'll be cautious regardless and I can't blame you for that tbh 😅

[silver merlin]

Yeah I know they work hard and have been working hard. Just know that it might take more time than expected to not be disappointed. 2 years ago we were planning on open beta in summer so yeah...

[gentle bronze]

No I agree but there is actual reason that they are able to work faster now. The Overworld team has doubled in size and I’d be surprised if the Arena team hasn’t grown a good bit as well but I can’t confirm that.

As well as epic games launcher making internal builds much faster to get in and download

Not making excuses for them not hitting previous dead lines tho 🙏

[west quartz]

the thing is that rats make any team revolving about using OP unplayable, so tuning that down could open up more possibilities

and not many auto attack based can still rekt it because of the blind

[silver merlin]

yeah oke fair

[scarlet spindle]

If all of you smurf accounts that beat me out of my rightful spot in the ladder could just send me some ILV to make up for it, your karma would clean up a fair bit 😛

yeah, it started from week 4, i was supposed to be #498, but was pulled to #149

[faint plinth]

Is the meta still Revenant Dust?:

[turbid osprey]

Only rhamphyres now

[tropic moon]

and is it switched to L2 or are we still paying gas to for every reward? or is that why there is a delay?

[turbid osprey]

L2 was coming soon last week, i assume they are waiting on this to finalize before sending w5

[tropic moon]

Thank you so much for being helpful.

[faint plinth]

Ohh i see.. Do rhamphyre with immune augment beats revenant dust? What do you think about Revenant inferno?

[turbid osprey]

Yes with the immune and decent positionning rhamphyre truly has the advantage from R4 +

Revenant inferno has been tried quite a lot by people but i think it doesnt perform well at all against normal rhamphyre or normal revenant/dust

[cursive echo]

@vernal forum nothing works 😢

[vernal forum]

Yes, but we knew this when we read the patch notes, eh?

[cursive echo]

I know but I really want to play another team than this meta

[vernal forum]

[vernal forum]

Seriously though, if you haven't played overworld in a while - I highly suggest trying it. There are many, many improvements - it looks incredible, gameplay is very smooth... I just really have enjoyed my time in there, and I believe that the more we test and report bugs, the better off we'll all be.

This game mode is in a bit of a holding period, so it's a great time to work on other stuff. Reset and come back with a vengeance when they drop new stuff (just a couple weeks off I believe).

[umbral citrus]

When will payments be credited for the rating?

[cursive echo]

What bothers me is the graphic quality, it’s not optimal.

[vernal forum]

I remember the absolute shit storm surrounding the world of warcraft graphics when that was in beta. There was a vocal minority that absolutely hated the cartoony graphics in that game. I geniunely liked it. Stylistic graphics like wow and Illuvium are not everyone's cup of tea, but for me - I really like the graphics in all 3 Illuvium games. If you are talking about minor things like in the pic - that's immaterial because the game is literally being developed before our eyes and stuff like that will be put into a priority queue to be "fixed". The upgrade in graphics from last time I played is highly noticeable in Overworld.

Especially Abyssal Basin.. that place is just stunning to run around in and explore.

[cyan olive]

is that on epic settings?

[cursive echo]

yes but I tried all the configurations

[cyan olive]

those are like placeholder art atm, I don´t like them either

[safe valve]

[west quartz]

something's wrong with your pc

[west quartz]

graphic card ?

[lilac grail]

yeah missing the graphic card

[green helm]

They didn't say anything about when they pay the rewards?

[worldly jolt]

It sounds like the plan is to wait for it to be able to be distributed on imx L2

Which is being worked on

Nothing officially announced though.

[green helm]

And that can take days or weeks?

And what benefits would it bring?

[worldly jolt]

Imx means no ethereum mainnet gas costs for distribution.

@stable scarab Did our game finish for you?

After i won 5th round for the win the board just cleared and the surrender button is still there even though i won

[stable scarab]

Yeah I didnt bug or something for me

All good

[turbid osprey]

@dark scaffold What do i do when its only me that bugs? i dont want to surrender a match i won in reality and get -30

[dark scaffold]

currently nothing you can do, team is working on those disconnections, but right now just closing/surrendering

[turbid osprey]

What about your magic wand? 🪄

I see on the website i won my elo, if i surrender a game that the game already give me my elo for you think i can also lose that game and the elo afterwards?

[dark scaffold]

that works only with spells that are already crafted by the team 😅

[turbid osprey]

/give patate 100 elo

try that?

[dark scaffold]

i would imagine, it will not be taken from your score as the session may be already closed, push the button and let us know 👀 🥶

[turbid osprey]

🪄

[turbid osprey]

nothing happened now stuck in the game. First time happening, is that the ghost session thing? I press B to report, how long till it get fixed now when this happens?

[dark scaffold]

BY THE POWER GIVEN ME BY THE ILLUVIUM DAO!!!!!!!! 🪄
Let Patate WIN the next battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dark scaffold]

no, the ghost session is where when you search for the opponent, your Cancel button is greyed out, and this bug should not appear anymore

just close the game and start new match

[turbid osprey]

did anyone found the 5 comps that beat rhamphire ?

[silver merlin]

Dust,rogue,spore,revenant,ramphyre

[worn tree]

Negative hahahahha

Nothing beats a good rha deck with proper tech. Or does it... 🤫

And rha itself doesnt count towards beating rha lol 🤣

[west quartz]

that's 1 team lmao

[clear hinge]

Trying to find is interesting😊 I think.

[silver merlin]

That was the joke haha

[west quartz]

rofl sry i became a sarcasm handicaped somewhere around the 200th rhamphire game :/

[west quartz]

it is, if you eventually find it or are shown the answer

[clear hinge]

Now is good deck is dust, rogue, spore, rev, Ramon?

[clear hinge]

What kind of deck for rhamphyre you said?

Example is dust, rogue, spore, rev, rhampyre?

[west quartz]

edi said they knew 5 teams that would beat rhamphire

i'm still looking for them

[west quartz]

yeah that's the one team everyone plays

[safe valve]

Shock?

Predator?

Behemoth?

Laserbeam?

[clear hinge]

I am in low rank lol
Because I start to play recently.
(I wanna play with high ranker…)
But truth, many in low use that deck.
Sometime I beat that deck as below.(dodge is like lucky)

Jotun
Sear
Singe(rhamphyre)
Archeleon
Gnari
Cardulox
Aapon
Geyser
You-fighter- jotun

[safe valve]

Nobody can Beat the Deck if Aaron is in it

Legendary illuvial revealed? 👀

[clear hinge]

However, many in low rank can’t use deck: dust, rogue, spore, rev, rhampyre efficiently…
I don’t know high rank world lol

[clear hinge]

Is there? Not yet?

[clear hinge]

Position? Arrangement? is very important.
Rev deck is very strong and lucky.

[high tiger]

Hey guys! any tips to counter revenant dust/spore line? Only comp im having a hard time with rn lol

[calm steeple]

You can play verdant/behemoth or magma/enchanter against revenant/dust, but they will switch to rhamphyre and then you will need to guess which side is rhamphyre landing

[real sail]

trying to use team builder but its just glitching hard

[serene lance]

So glad theyre simplifying the team builder and taking augments out to give them in a different way.

changing inferno damage to pure damage just make no sense at all..just like making the seawater a sweet water drink /disgusted

Is there any way for us to see snapshots of week 5, 6, 7?

[silver merlin]

No, have to wait

Week 5 Arena Leader Board Rewards Distributed (Snapshot on <t:1709164800:F>)

@worldly jolt

[zenith mortar]

Week 6 will hopefully be distributed before the snapshot this week 7 snapshot this week.

[ruby plover]

now is week 7?

[cyan olive]

yes

[zenith mortar]

Yes, we are generally 1 week delayed on payment for confirmation of placements. Also once the new game mode comes we will be pausing rewards for testing of the new mode.

[ruby plover]

how many rating points top 1000 player have rn? after top 600 it shows just 1372 on another players

[eager grove]

@cyan olive seems like people have found some counters to the team in your last video. Any chance you could do an update on some of those teams? I’m really having a difficult time figuring out exactly what’s going on in this game and making the proper adjustments

[cyan olive]

this current meta is just not very competitive, I have some upcomming videos, but there isn´t a new this team will win you every game thing atm

it is still dust revenant>rhamphyre>verdant stuff>dust revenant and you pick 2/3 for your team in tldr.

We are testers in a beta, which means our quality of life and the competitiveness of the game are not the top priorities at the moment.

[twilit storm]

based on the txt file...we have 348 players into Arena? i can t understand..the game is 1000 times better than TFT, why this numbers? it is on epicgames..it is free...I really can t get it. /sadness

[honest pawn]

Let's be real, in the current state of the game. Tft is more fun

[silver merlin]

It's the top 1000 but everybody who is playing has 2 smurfs as well I imagine which aren't eligible for rewards

[twilit storm]

And...wen rewards stop? we will have what? 50 active players?

The project is too good to have these numbers...

millions and millions of beta subscriptions and 348 active players?

I am in disbelief

the leaderboard..pays the first 1000... 🫡

[silver merlin]

You didn't read what I just said?

[safe valve]

Probably some smurfs in there trying to get rewards twice aswell...

Remember for example that Guy who's wife didn't got rewards and was asking for help 😂

[eager grove]

Ok I guess I could be more specific. Say both are running dust/rev with earth weapon. We go round for round 1-3 and then turn 4 they drop ramph and I go geyyser/aapon/gyro. Sometimes I win sometimes they win. Is it just placement? Augments? How do you decipher what won or lost you the round? Other than hoping to get another game with them and try something else

[cyan olive]

you can record your games and rewatch fights to figure out what happens

like what units get hit by rhamph/ranger, are some cast timings good bad, where do hedgehogs roll

[wicked cloak]

It’s most likely placement

[oblique scaffold]

Will arena be one vs one or are there plans to expand similar to tft with multiple players in one game?

[west quartz]

Eventually there will be a multiplayer mode like tft, but first it will be 1v1 in arena

[mossy blaze]

Hey guys is the snapshot in 3 hours or 27 hours? Thanks

[daring shuttle]

27

[hallow echo]

I’m slowly starting to learn arena after going from 1000 to -500 … I feel bad for someone I beat back to back he went from positive 340 to -150 in 2 games 🫣

[clear pollen]

I feel you on that. I hit a guy in 800 down to 500 in 1 game. Idk where those 300 points went to bc it only gave me like 20 lol.

[hallow echo]

yup but im finally on the other side now, I lost to someone 3 times in a row but only dropped like 50-200 each time, this guy lost over 200 each time

im guessing might depend on the difference of HP between the 2

I just made someone lose 374 jeez lol

Good thing I got 30 points up 😂 the grind is real

[clear pollen]

Yeah it is. I went down to like -200 when I started and have been grinding pretty easily up to around 600 but it's just too much of a grind to aim for leaderboard if they stop paying out at the end of the month and there is no way to see top 1000 rankings :/

[hallow echo]

I read abit above that people are also smurfing. I wonder if dev team has anything in place to stop and negate that sort of thing

Because technically someone could just replicate the same deck on all accounts and play and win

[west quartz]

smurf are allowed

but you only get rewards on your highest account

[hallow echo]

How could they tell if the accounts were never linked?

[west quartz]

you're supposed to name your smurf like your main

and they have other ways to check

idk how though

like my main will be Style, my smurfs will be Style2, Style3 etc

[hallow echo]

So if only the highest will get rewards what’s the point of smurfs?

[fair hemlock]

Testing strats

[hallow echo]

Ah makes sense

Speaking of points that game was weird. I lost only 14 but the other went up 90 something. I’m about to go bald with all the head scratching.

Has anyone done a guess at the formula of match results for arena ranked?

[clear pollen]

I like Arena and autobattlers in general but I feel like this one has too steep of a learning curve to attract new players.

[hallow echo]

I think it just makes it easy to play but hard to master

[worn tree]

You come from elohell lol

[hallow echo]

Jeez just when I was grinding I lost to the same person I lost 3 times to. I thought he moved up in the world.. LOL literally rematched with them again (VS)Inferno just now. The past 10 games I have played 5 with them

[clear pollen]

Yea I see GrannySlayer at least once a day lol

[hallow echo]

Idk if a bot because he just puts 1 point in each card every time and it’s happened at least the last 9 encounters he does that

[west quartz]

also once you've reached a certain point in highelo it's not worth playing it anymore, you have longer queue times, and you're risking a +10 -30

[hallow echo]

What would you say is that point

[green helm]

Have the requirements to receive rewards increased? because I'm sure that this week I played all 15 games and reached 1300 points and I didn't pay myself.
the week before if he paid me well

[worn tree]

Rewards of past snapshot weren't allocated.

[green helm]

I know but this week I met the requirements

[worn tree]

Last week hasn't been paid yet

[nocturne wedge]

why i'm not included in the week 5 snapshot? (Nikkis is my user)

[lean yarrow]

is there a way to see how many games weve played this week?

match history or something?

[bronze spire]

illuvial masters website you can see but it occasionally misses some games

[worldly jolt]

If you think that you were actually eligible then it’s Probably best to ask support. No one else is going to have actual data on that.

Contact #❓❓〕support through the website shared in the #❓❓〕support channel. Or look for HELP(?) in the top menu of the illuvium website.

[jade pecan]

[ruby plover]

what rank I need to have, to be in top 1000?

[turbid osprey]

No rank, just play 15 games and you will be top 300/400

[ruby plover]

oh, thanks for answer is here any way to trach how many i played already?

[lucid plume]

until wen the events?

i mean the snapshot

lol im irone i think

[silver merlin]

No?

Only if you know what you are doing

[turbid osprey]

I suggest tracking it manually when you play to make sure. Best way other than that and to look back is illuvialmaster.com

Some games might be missing though thats why doing it manually is the best way

[lucid plume]

no there is a point system here

my current rank is bronze lol haha

[turbid osprey]

I say this because theres only that total amount of players

Someone with 1 elo will be top 300/400 (if eligible)

[silver merlin]

There are also a lot of smurfs who are in top 1000 that don't get rewards, not just people who didn't play enough

[hardy minnow]

Yup, that's the current setup, but once many players started playing, please be advised that you need to be atleast top 1000 with 15 games that week to be eligible (and have played 25 ranked games lifetime)

[torn remnant]

What are the best augments for revo?

[desert rose]

the rating still doesn't reflect the places well

I can't insert screenshot *(

611-1168 place - 1372 ratings are shown by players (it cannot be the same for 400 players)

[turbid osprey]

It is. Those are old accounts that never played. The old starting elo was 1500 so the one time we got a soft reset they went down to 1372

[desert rose]

ok, but.. how can I see what rating the 1000th place starts from?

[hot pond]

I had a UE5 game crash earlier today where when I tried to rejoin the match I was staring at this empty board again. I had to surrender to not end up in a ghost session again. Where are the crash reports being saved so I can report it?

[turbid osprey]

Heres the leaderboard

https://play.illuvium.io/arena/leaderboard?activeTab=ascendant

[past mica]

Maybe I'm just being a noob, but it would be cool to have a VS bots mode with no timer where we could test putting multiple combinations of units out to visualize what the synergy would be, and then be able to undo all of it with no penalty so we could try something completely different...idk if that makes sense, but sort of like a playground mode where we can test different openers and stuff.

[turbid osprey]

When you crashed if you clicked the "send and restart" its already sent. If not, not sure you can send them afterwards. @jetski might be able to say more

[past mica]

Ok nevermind I'm a noob, am doing training mode I think that's what I needed lol

[turbid osprey]

Id love something like this too. Imagine if you could even play from both side of the board

Not something to focus on right now before open beta though

[past mica]

Ah but is there a way I can use my own deck in training mode?

[turbid osprey]

No its a new deck every 24h at 00:00 UTC

[desert rose]

611-1168 place - 1372 ratings are shown by players (it cannot be the same for 400 players)
(С)

[turbid osprey]

They are all ineligible for rewards, they never played

[hallow echo]

im curious do rewards go to the top 1000 players minus the smurfs, or the top 1000 non-smurf players?
Example-
if there are 500 smurfs in top 1000, do only 500 get paid out?
or
if there are 500 smurfs in top 1000, do the "next" 500 players get paid too, so the top 1500 players (only 1000 payouts because none go to the smurfs)

[turbid osprey]

2nd option

[junior geyser]

Is this the same for unactive users who have not played 15 games that week?

[turbid osprey]

Yes, all the ineligible accounts (smurfs, no wallet linked, not 15 games) are removed and dont block leaderboard spots

[warped basalt]

How random can this game be, you can't control more than 15% of the game, and the omega ability is absolutely embarrassing... 80% of them are given without a target, they are blocked while using it or even after.. And after all this and the ranking point is obtained randomly..

[karmic token]

I think you control much less than 15%😅 , everything is too random every omega ability... and you can't do anything.

[alpine dagger]

When can we expect last week arena leaderboard rewards ?

are you kidding me? 🤣 I am writing to you that there is a problem with displaying the leaderboard, and you are sending me a link to it a second time.

[silver merlin]

There is nothing wrong, there are just a lot of inactive accounts

[turbid osprey]

Sorry for the confusion man you just said "how can i look at the leaderboard". Figured you forgot about the link or just didnt click on it

If its not displaying on your end i dont know what it could be sorry

[desert rose]

THIS

[silver merlin]

This

[desert rose]

I can't post screenshots here, it's very strange, even links are allowed. ((

[silver merlin]

There was a reset before rank rewards got integrated and those accounts got reset to that rank

[desert rose]

yes I saw this answer above, and yes it is.

But this does not change the fact that we cannot correctly look at places from 500 to 1000. Okay, I don't think this conversation makes sense. They tell me the same thing 10 times. 😅

[silver merlin]

They all have the same amount of ranked points, so the same rank in the leaderboard because none are higher than the other, not so hard to understand?

[desert rose]

AHAHAHAHA

you're really kidding me.** I understand this**

However, these accounts are inactive, they have not played 15 games, and should not be taken into account in the ranking. Because of them I can’t see information below top600

[desert rose]

you are literally breaking my heart

[silver merlin]

Just get around 1400 points and you are already in top 250

[desert rose]

yes, mate, if you are top600+ then looking at your rating in the leaderboard is really no problem

[torn remnant]

probably not, too much fight rng for it to be determined before the fight plays out

[silver merlin]

All I know is that I won and lost a fight after a disconnect so both is possible

[torn remnant]

im still in the game lol

i guess i should just quit the client

[silver merlin]

Probably better to restart

[torn remnant]

and see if my rank went up or down

[silver merlin]

Ye

[lean ivy]

You can also go on websites like illuvial master to check if you won or not.

When ever I have a freeze I only wait 5 seconds then AltF4 and re log in. sometimes you can get back in

[torn remnant]

How often are the soft rank resets?

[calm steeple]

If you have geforce graphics card then make sure you have latest drivers installed, I dont know how or why but as soon as new driver version comes out and I play ascendant arena, games becomes laggy after round 3 or so when full teams are out, dropping to below 10 fps.

[worn tree]

There is no defined cadence

[torn remnant]

Gotcha

[lean ivy]

I imagine there will one when the new mode is release.

Pb4ish

[torn remnant]

Losing the first 3 placements makes your starting mmr so low i was wondering if its worth it to just wait for reset

[lean ivy]

Just make a new account

[torn remnant]

Oh thats true

[safe valve]

And sad

[torn remnant]

Maybe after I actually learn the game tho

so i know what im doing

do we know what the approximate floor for rewards was on the last snapshot?

i climbed up to 600, i imagine its not even close to the floor tho

[bronze spire]

Pretty sure as long as you get the games done (25 for new account) you will get rewards

[bronze spire]

600 should be enough

[arctic turtle]

As long as you play your 15 matches you will place in top 500 at least. The last rank list had less than 400 ranked

[cyan olive]

those accs don´t count towards rewards, they are skipped for them

also to post e.g. pics I think you need lv 5 on the discord

the not being able to scroll further part is likely a bug or something, that has been noted, seemingly not fixed yet though

[raven obsidian]

thanks! that definitely has helped. there is still some fps drops but it is no where near are bad!

[silver merlin]

That was from 2 weeks ago I think, so idk about the current situation

[eager grove]

Are the arena rewards based off of your rank at the time of snapshot or your highest rank achieved?

[cyan olive]

rank at the time of snapshot

[calm steeple]

you can also try dropping everything to lowest possible on video and graphics tabs in the settings

[proven coral]

website down?

[turbid osprey]

Yes on maintenance, check #📣〕announcements

[hallow echo]

How do I create a new account for arena? Do I need a new wallet too or what’s the procedure? I know I need to add a number like 2 or 3 at the end of my name to show it’s multi account but what else? There was a link but I cannot find with all the specifics

[west quartz]

you just create a new account using a new email adress

basically just log out and sign up with new email

then if you want rewards on the new account if it got higher ranked than the previous one, you'll need to link a different wallet from the first account

[edgy flower]

I wonder how many players the game has now playing at least a few hours per week, is it 1000 or even less? 🙂

[turbid osprey]

Well ~350 people got reward last snapshot

[edgy flower]

LOL, really hope new mode will bring players (be included) back to playing

coz now its only 15 games per week coz of rewards

[torn remnant]

Why is it that if I bond my Ranger to a rogue, and then I give him an Earth Shiv, my Rogues drop from 4->3? Shouldn't it still be 4?

[gritty wren]

2x rogue isnt rogue anymore

[sacred finch]

it has rogue from the bonding + rogue from the weapon, which makes the Predator composite, so it's no longer a rogue

[torn remnant]

Ohh, i didn't even know that was a thing

Ty for the clarity

I wasn't sure if i griefed myself or it if it was a bug

at least i know now

[civic grotto]

350, that's such a low number.. damn

[worldly jolt]

Upto 30 teams. Is that new?

[torn remnant]

Yeah im ngl its a pretty fun game, i'm surprised only 350 have played 15 games in the last week

[clear pollen]

gl gangly 🙂

[hallow echo]

So basically anyone who played more than 15 games last week got rewarded?

[torn remnant]

gg 😄

[silver merlin]

Is it the last week? I thought we were a few weeks behind with snapshot payout?

[cyan olive]

been there since last patch, or maybe since the one before that

[brisk dove]

how do u get to 38 level today?

[arctic turtle]

Does anyone know where the leaderboard went

Nevermind found it

[arctic turtle]

I was around rank 1500 for the last snap shot and ended up at rank 96 when snap shot results were posted

[silver merlin]

1500 rank points or rank 1500? Because that doesn't sound right

[wise scarab]

Should be rank points. Because around 1620 points before adjusting for eligibility is normally the top100 cut.

[silver merlin]

Yeah that sounds more realistic

[arctic turtle]

I had 1330 rank points but because they removed the ineligible accounts and move everyone eligible up on the snap shot I was rank 96

[silver merlin]

That can't be correct because I had 1405 and I was rank 246

[arctic turtle]

I now realize I was looking at the wrong week

[torn remnant]

Okay so it sounds like 760 won't put in the higher tier but i'll be eligible for rewards with it no problem

[silver merlin]

Maybe

[silver merlin]

It's not that hard to climb a little higher tho

[uncut comet]

rewards on or off atm?

[uncut comet]

ah forgot gettin turned off on new mode

[torn remnant]

Yeah it’s my first day I’m not too worried

[worn tree]

Exquisite experience. Risking 40 elo for a +0 reward. hahahahahahahhahahah

Maybe a +1 should be set as the bear minimum. Can this be adjusted @noble radish?

[granite osprey]

no you dont you just enjoy this riskswwww

[worn tree]

I see, thx for clarification brother

[turbid osprey]

Love how the other guy gets +0 instead of -0

I wonder if he actually won 0. something ahah

[alpine dagger]

Lol , nope ..max rating diff cap is not needed

Thats elo hell

[west quartz]

that was morelike a -60 if your pc crashed there 😂

[turbid osprey]

Its a -mouse or -keyboard if you lose those

[west quartz]

probably both

might add a monitor for good measure

[west quartz]

on

[alpine dagger]

Dust unita getting stuck still not fixed ? Bro thats sad

Wow what a no care from dev team

U have 20+ days bug on meta units weow

[west quartz]

well they're building the new mode

i'd much rather have the new mode quicker tbh

[eager portal]

this is protection against night runs😁

[cyan olive]

15x plus 0,X mmr seems obviously better than playing vs minus 400 mmr and having a real risk for minus 30+

I’d take 15 games vs bronze, easy leaderboard finish

[worn tree]

hahahahahahaha

[high snow]

How long did you queue to get someone with 1100?

[noble radish]

The devs are all rushing to add the new features and get them up to standard. Fixing balance issues in a mode that is soon to be deprecated would be stupid.

It isn’t about not caring.

The game is in heavy development. This is what happens. Once the game mode is set, updates can come quicker.

[silver merlin]

Hyped for new mode

[worn tree]

Funny thing is it was only 2 mins

[high snow]

oh 😅

[worn tree]

You are being efficient, there is no use investing on something that will soon become obsolete. In favour of your strategy sir.

[silver merlin]

The current arena will go away?

[twilit storm]

only if you sell in May

[worn tree]

What a poet lol!

[tropic moon]

You probably got some rating to be fair but as we don't see decimal points we don't really know. It might have even been 0,9 but unlikely.

[onyx sundial]

Yes they are planning to release a new version of arena by the end of the month which will have different rules to the current build

[silver merlin]

Yes I know there was going to be a new mode but I thought it would be additional

[onyx sundial]

Looks like a full replacement at this point due to feedback on the current build

[silver merlin]

There goes all my knowledge

[cyan olive]

the new mode stuff is further out as far as I understand, what the next update refers to are big updates to 1v1 arena, not entirely new game

[fair hemlock]

What knowledge? 👀 😆

[silver merlin]

Idk depends on the new mode

[west plume]

Is there a new Meta? Haven't played in a few days…

[silver merlin]

No

[west plume]

Ok

[eager portal]

pure inferno forever alone

[worldly token]

at the team: I just had a bug where the second round of augments was just like the first one and already put the tokens on the ones earlier aswell. I could not change them not could I report ingame at that moment. My opponent afterwards had augments I never saw - I sadly cannot say how to recreate that issue

basically the second round was a copy of the first one with already my previous choice logged in. I won one of those augments and could not give it to my units (probably because it would need to be a different augment than shown). I took a screenshot ingame of that error message, but put it as "feedback" instead of bug - sorry. Was in a hurry and wanted to win 😄

[torn remnant]

Just out of curiosity - how many players here also play tft/come from tft?

[west quartz]

I think they’re just wiping the current 1v1 arena mode and replacing it with the new mode. And then much later on they will add a multiplayer mode

[silver merlin]

I've played tft, but not really competitive

[raven obsidian]

oooof, poor soul

[west plume]

What is the best counter?

I know,iam just asking so the newbs in here can get ahead.😐

[silver merlin]

Dust revenant

Or ramphyre

[west plume]

Ofcourse

[eager portal]

I practice Verdant Behemoth, total 50/50

[hallow echo]

if i get my wife into the game and we both make the top 1000 would be be eligible to each earn rewards or will it only count the highest account since we will be playing from the same house IP address? Our gaming setups are in the same room

[wicked cloak]

arena rankings are glitched rn or something. link takes me to the main page?

[odd wren]

Yeah same for me. I think it's because of the update. Heard previous links to teams also don't work

[wicked cloak]

which update?

[vernal forum]

Yesterday they launched an entire rework of the web portal.

[lucid plume]

hi guys can you share the meta teams now and card buffs>

[lucid plume]

ow so this is new meta pure inferno team not ice bear team

[wicked cloak]

oh noice, what are the dimensions of the board?

[vivid stirrup]

<@&821154860816793604> the new arena team links are getting blocked by the chat bot

[dark scaffold]

the wizard of discord ||( @hollow citrus ) || used his magic, i believe ritual ended up successfully 👀

I guess he teted and deleted it

||its not like i doubted in the wizards skills, but magic sometimes fades 😅 better to check xD|| dont tell him 👀

[cyan olive]

nah, paz is a hacker, for sure

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-kung-fury-gif-7953536

[safe valve]

🤔 ...If he's wearing a white hat in next video, we know for sure

[torn remnant]

Alright Vipers videos are too good

[cyan olive]

[torn remnant]

I started going 5-7, watched a bunch of viper videos and am 27-3 and +800 mmr since then. A lot of it I’m sure is just deck quality but he does a great job explaining the thought process behind the different comps. It really helps move the needle in close fights.

[torn remnant]

Have you competed in TFT before? You remind me of a few players with the way you approach the game.

[civic grotto]

Can we just block rewards and remove arena completely until new game mode comes out? 😅

[cyan olive]

I was one of the first ever challenger players when the game came out and been getting chal for fun last few seasons.

Overall used to be Hearthstone Pro, was at worlds finals, made little over 250k$ in pricemoney in hearthstone.

I used to stream more in the past as well, so have background in content creation and coaching.

[cyan olive]

Happy my content could help you

[torn remnant]

Oh nice, yeah there’s a lot of crossover between TFT and HS

[lucid plume]

thanksm ate

[alpine dagger]

Do i need to make second metamask wallet to link to my smurf account ? Or is it just working if i just add another account on same metamask ?

Like this

For now i never had my smurf acc higher rating than main, so i didnt pay much attention

[bronze spire]

Yea that should be fine I’m pretty sure

[gleaming panther]

Hello, is the arena leaderboard on the website up to date?
Why are there 500 accounts with Odankov’s MMR and after the 606th place there are immediately 1100 and so on for a month?

[twilit storm]

inactive accounts

@gleaming panther

[plush gate]

My game crashes constantly, and its very frustrating, im running a 980ti so pretty old but not ancient,

I get an error message that I've sent about 50 times or so I keep persisting but its wearing me out at 800 rating but i keep losing games due to crashes. Is there any fix other than a hardware upgrade ?

[low comet]

can someone send a good lineup, im tired playing rhampyre over and over hahahahaha

[serene lance]

I mean the 980 came out in 2014, thats a decade ago. illuvium is a really high graphic game that isnt optimised yet. Maybe its not your pc power thats causing the crash, but perhaps its time for an upgrade.

[safe valve]

In IT time, this is right before entering the ancient state 😂

[twilit storm]

980ti so pretty old but not ancient,

https://tenor.com/view/dinosaur-dinozor-dans-maskot-sek-sek-gif-17584882076365888502

my humble advice @plush gate..if you are using an old card DO NOT use the latest drivers but use the most performing ones for your card..based on what you say..i suggest 536.23 for maximum stability and performance

All LOW setting ofc

[ancient orbit]

I'm running amd rx470. All on high

[alpine dagger]

Are we having delay on arena leaderboard drops?

[ancient orbit]

So 980 must be significantly better then my card

[alpine dagger]

If i am not wrong ? We are still waiting for last week,but aswell 1 week before that right

?

[ancient orbit]

Don't know
