yep for sure

[crystal wolf]

GG that's crazy how can i lose @wicked hedge

[wicked hedge]

Because its me 🙂

[crystal wolf]

Fak that birds too op

[wicked hedge]

thats what happen when i face corner comp teams.. i demolish them 🙂 u can switch sides as many times u want.. but im coming for u

[wicked hedge]

but well played bro 🙂 it was really close

[crystal wolf]

Yeah bro, soon i beat u with that corner comps hahaha

[wicked hedge]

we will see 🙂

[dusty vessel]

we are going again crew

[wicked hedge]

u are playing with a cheating augment, life storm, last time also ;P Now u are playing with 2 life storm.. if you dont win this game.. i dont know

[crystal wolf]

Already lose lol , i didn’t get any good aug for the ophisto xd, too bad if fight other ophisto if he had that 65 omega+ aug mine ophisto should dead

Im still bad at positioning too, i never play arena before so still need time to learn im just start playing gauntlet 2-3 weeks ago, even my main account only had 500 point XD

[edgy bough]

Mykle is the corner comp Meta slayer ⚔️😂

[lean ivy]

Then we need to get Patch B in the main net or it's not going to get a throughough play through. Hell half of the people are saying its bad just based on the patch notes. This build held up other patches and should be tested throughly. I am really frustrated to see people already making assumptions without even playing at least 20 games. And trust me, I read the notes also and if last tournament is anything, I understand the game pretty well and can't really see how this will effect the game.

There is also an inherent bias, because Patch A was received so well that I think people are struggling to set aside.

[turbid osprey]

Testnet ranked 3/8

[edgy bough]

Announcement said they’re not expanding access to test net #📣〕announcements message

Not sure how many players currently have access

[spare frigate]

6 min later..

4/8

Im a fan of patch A more. Its more balanced with the stacking Affinities/ Class, giving more in game variety, away from consistent metas

[wicked hedge]

ahh.. saw it 🙂 but keep at it bro, you will improve, watch Whity

[spare frigate]

Thoughts for patch A;

• Remove x4 stack affinity/ class buff and add x5 instead. This just feels more right and create more gaps in stacking builds early game. make 5/6 much more powerful for late
• Decrease the radius to gain illuvial hyper buff, making players more particular with their placement

[west plume]

Biggest issue for me is finding games for the testnet build,i want to play but dont want to wait 10-20 min to get a game going.

[turbid osprey]

5/8 testnet

[turbid osprey]

yesterday i waited an hour lol

[spare frigate]

much bigger player base on patch a xD

[tired depot]

I gave up waiting for testnet games, plus A is better

[spare frigate]

if you wanna get a feel for it better & compare the difference, just play some casual..

makes you feel like a winner xD

How can i use my emotes in arena? I have seen other players drones showing them but i haven't figured out how to do that!?

Press E. They should do it so you click on the drone, not sure why they haven't done that

[severe steeple]

Thx!

[tight swift]

nice first round

nwm

[silver merlin]

nobody on testnet?

[fallen vortex]

I'm not making assumptions. Although I can see how the Illuvial balance would probably feel weird, like people are saying.

But U think I should host a patch B tournament? If they swapped which game was on which platform I'd do patch B sure

[drifting roost]

Are there, is the Bug to get in Ranked Gauntlet back?

I'm having the same issue as before where its 8/8 players but the game doesn't start

[opal atlas]

bug

[hollow orbit]

It seems that it's important to press "cancel" instead of "back" when it doesn't start on 8/8.

[drifting roost]

yeah, but some people might not b aware of that

[hollow orbit]

I too have been unable to start on 8/8. I was able to start without any problems until just now.

[opal atlas]

I think there was a problem again

[opal atlas]

It charged for about 2 minutes and started

[bronze spire]

same

[bronze spire]

does this work?

[pseudo phoenix]

The same thing happens to me

[hollow orbit]

I still can't play it on 8/8...

[pseudo phoenix]

Should we create a group that we started?

[hollow orbit]

I've tried pressing cancel and requeuing several times but it's not working

[tacit lantern]

I've resorted to just playing casual which doesn't seem to have any issues.

[dusty vessel]

gauntlet 8/8?

[tacit lantern]

Broken again

[dusty vessel]

ok

[amber spindle]

lol

[tacit lantern]

Anyone up for kicking my ass.....?

[crystal wolf]

Gauntlet broken again?

[tacit lantern]

Come join. It's seems to be okay at the minute

[crystal wolf]

Ok omw

[tacit lantern]

1 more player needed in ranked.... anyone?

[drifting roost]

I am

probably too late hehe

[crystal wolf]

Gauntlet rank 5/8

[drifting roost]

I seem to have a couple crashes per game. Anyone else experiencing the same?

[wraith dock]

If I reset my free plot can I lvl it up again to earn more credits to use on my nft lot? To get a third builder?

[cyan olive]

nah man, live patch is the only fair thing to do, doesn´t matter how nice the tournament for the few could be, all the people who would have wanted to play but are simply not allowed negative sentiment will make up for it

just disclose known issues and maybe ban certain things

I know basic things people do in online tournaments isn´t common for most here, but it isn´t that hard

[hollow orbit]

Can't you just fix the bugs in Lifestorm and Unity*2 before making major changes? It's disheartening to see them during a match.

If there are obviously buggy augments, I think there needs to be a system in place to fix them early or remove them from the game. @worn tree

[worn tree]

Hey Whity,

Double Unity will be fixed with next deployment to PROD. About Life Storm, we haven't been able to do any changes on PROD yet cause patch B has been on the pipeline for 2 weeks.

Hopefully it can all be addressed very soon.

[hollow orbit]

I understand. Thank you for your reply🙇

[winter breach]

ranked 3/8

[west plume]

The Bots in testnet casual patch B are more challeging which makes it alot more fun.

Or so i have heard.

I dont find it challenging due to my skill level

[jade pecan]

level or issue?

[haughty edge]

none on testnet??

[west plume]

I tried yesterday for 20-30 min ended up doing casual Testnet Gauntlet instead just to get a feel for the Patch

[viral marsh]

seems like new season only start when we decide which patch better? 2 weeks for test patch B, then make reviews, then you choice best. if my calculation right - its more 3+ weeks untill we see Season-3?

[bronze spire]

i dont think its a decide on which is better thing, the announcement wrongly made it sound like that apparently

[viral marsh]

"Once both surveys are completed, we will review the results to see which patch you enjoyed the most and what you enjoyed the most in each patch to come back with a refined version." - it's like here. which patch better

[woven flint]

For the people who played patch B
Give your choice in this poll, seems might move faster ... 😉
https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1302301460599410779

[bronze spire]

ok yea arron just clarfied in the above poll hiro just posted thats its not about which you like better but what parts you like about each

especially considering many voting without even playing it haha

[foggy tiger]

GAUNTLET RANK 6/8 NEED 2

[bronze spire]

but dont think that was your point anyway, think you are right we will probs wait another 2-4 weeks

[viral marsh]

we already have around same patch, before patch A coming live. with synergy of 8 and 9. in this patch just a bit balanced augments - life shtorm nerfed - how it should be, and numbers on some other as well. so - i don't understand if we play in around same already - why we should go again?

[bronze spire]

yea i agree if thats the case. I assumed there was maybe some other key changes in patch B

i like the synergies at 2

[woven flint]

Imo synergie at 2 are way better for the experience, you activate them more easyli and you feel you build something

Synergies at 3 are more tailored for when the ranger will come back

[wide aspen]

A'ight, I feel the need to clarify some things:

• Yes, it's not about which patch is better, it's not a competition by any means. It's about what we can take from each patch to create as best of a stable patch afterwards as we possibly can.
• Patch B is nowhere close to what we had before getting Patch A. If anything, it is more similar to Patch A than what we had before.
• What Patch B aims to do is have a clear scaling between tiers and stages, hence why a multiplier is now used for S2 and S3 (like other big autobattlers also do).
• A secondary aim of Patch B is to make synergies more impactful, to give them an identity.
• Patch B will eventually come to Live. It is now on testnet just so we make sure that we don't release something broken to Live. Most probably in a few days we will add it on Live. Patch B will receive the same amount of highlight as Patch A before a decision is taken.

These being said, let's give it a proper test before jumping to conclusions. Patch B has yet to receive a tenth of the attention that patch A received. You liked Patch A, we noted down all the aspects that you liked from it and what you did not like. Now the focus will be on B for a while.

We know it is a bit chaotic but everything will soon settle down and a stable era of regular patches will come!

[bold trench]

super bug haha they're not moving and damaging each other

@hardy scroll

[crystal wolf]

Gauntlet rank 6/8

[viral marsh]

can you clarify: "Most probably in a few days" - it's about 1-2 days or it's take more?

[woven flint]

Since 2021, we have learn the illuvium date system.
Usually it goes like:
Date announced X3 = real date
Daye announced by kieran X5 = real date

With this you have a rough estimation (can go up to x8 when external events happend, like for stacking v2)

😁

[viral marsh]

we have tournaments at friday, so - whant to know, need go and prepair with ai at test-net, coz find game take 30-40mins in ranked. or can stay at main-net

[haughty lintel]

I just waited 24 minutes to get a gauntlet game and i gave up. I don't understand why are we still experimenting and not getting things going. The game is playable, needs a few bug fixes and a few qol improvements but it works. Wouldn't it make more sense to get some incentives and some players back? How long do you think more testing will take with 50 current players and how reliable data would be?

[viral marsh]

it will be our gift for christmas - new season. xD

[woven flint]

I share the same feeling.
Fix little bug, and launch like that.
Start the season, incentivize, make some real communication (some work for tsg) and then on the side work other patches ect for the mid season/ 1/3 season as you wish.

Things can go in paralell, we don t need to wait for every improvement

[viral marsh]

most of problems - it's disconnects, game load, crash etc. and it's dothen mater at which patch that happend. should fix that at 1st step. then we go

[hardy scroll]

I don’t even remember, describe what you’re talking about

[hardy scroll]

Yesterday there was lag, I reconnected 3-4 times in one game

[bold trench]

all goods fam i didnt know that i need to close the game and reconnect

was lost sad

[woven flint]

Exactly :

Focus should be :
Get the game stable : priority 1.
Fix little bugged augment/ ect prio 2

Everything else should come AFTER and in parallell !
Patch B, C, new features, QOL ect
On testnet.

And that should not impact mainet

[viral marsh]

but now seems game at hard pause, and it's upset that all delays more and more

[hardy scroll]

did I win?)

[bold trench]

sad nope

same

haha

[hardy scroll]

this can't be true, I'm strong

[fallen vortex]

Wait I'm not sure I understand. So you think patch B tournament is the fair outcome? Even tho many wouldn't be able to participate?

[cyan olive]

I think just play on the client everyone can play

[fallen vortex]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too

They said patch B is going to main net tho. So that solves it

[vernal forum]

This is disappointing. The community feedback has been overwhelming. These endless and needless delays have been Illuvium's achilles' heel. And the weird balance thing with Patch A and B is an unforced error and for little to no gain. It's just infuriating and heartbreaking in a way.

Grabbing two separate patches and trying to merge them shows a fundamental misunderstanding about balance that is troubling. Also, purposely delaying a project (and for little to no gain in this instance and likely a step backwards) that has been plagued with delays and setbacks is doing the opposite of inspiring confidence.

Now, since Patch B is nearly universally panned, you've decided to delay further and bring it to main-net to force feed it. Bringing this patch to live - adds more delays and will dishearten the community even further. The video game cycle sweet spot is basically right now and instead of focusing on what the community has identified and rolling with the momentum you have decided to purposely delay further. So, instead of capitalizing on the brief momentum with Patch A, the team decides to kill that momentum - heading into the video game busy season.

And, it's not a bit chaotic. Chaos we can handle. It's a community that has seen the same mistakes over and over again, watching it happen again in real time. All while our pleas and cries go unheard and unheeded. It gets tiring.

I say this with much love and respect for you all.

[slate hare]

finally my first win on it, fuck, pretty hard auisdhiausdhiuasdhiuadsh

[wicked hedge]

I agree with this. Could just have gone with patch A given it’s solid feedback. Stabilized the game and focused on not getting in game crashes, fixed bugged augments and introduced the ranger into the game.. Then gauntlet would have been very good, in quite a short time, instead of delaying with another patch with quite different values. The balance in patch A was in my opinion really good. Why fix something that ain’t broken

[wicked hedge]

I wonder why the ranger has not been added to gauntlet. This is one of the differentiating factors of Illuvium. The ranger and all the mechanics for it where there 1 year ago in ascendant. Creating a shop for weapons and armor based on tiers and stages in a similar fashion as for illuvials shouldn’t be that hard? Just introduce it and balance it afterwards..? I feel this should be the no. 1 priority alongside the game not crashing, which can be very frustrating.

[worn tree]

Give us just a bit more time, it is close! Ranger will add a whole new dimension into the gameplay. So excited for it brother

[crystal wolf]

Do you guys have data how many player playing gauntlet RN, because i think it’s only couple hundred people playing even matching sometime take more than 10-30mins and always meet same people everyday, that mean there is only few people there.

from there i think it’s not effective to fixed bug when there’s only few player playing,
Because more bug should be happend when many player play it

Why not just focus on 1 things, focus on some little bug that happend now. start the season and keep improve while many player play it, i think it’s more make sense you guys can collect more data from many player and keep improve, and also keep player from quit / leave the game.

[wicked hedge]

I know you guys are probably working on it, and that’s good 😊 But hearing talks about new games.. illuvial combat, things that in my opinion should have very little priority relative to continue developing the actual game illuvium has right now, which is gauntlet.

[worn tree]

Gauntlet is our top priority company wide. In the next 3 months you will see a lot of progress.

The Gauntlet you know now will be a completely evolved thing in a very short time.

[wicked hedge]

That means that the majority of developers, artists and teams are working on Gauntlet?

[safe valve]

https://tenor.com/view/isnt-even-my-final-form-gif-11810117

[uncut comet]

i think starting season now would 100% be really bad cause there are so much frustrating bugs and crashes in the game , imagine u sweating for the leaderboard and u do no mistakes on your side and then an illuvial disapear or other player playing broken augments and u lose a winstreak and at the end the 1st place cause of that

[odd wren]

Will it also include a focus on bugs? How can we tell friends to come play a game filled with bugs. Sure it's a beta but their first impression is important. I for one have been here for a long time so the bugs are annoying but they won't make me stop playing. If I was a newcomer, I wouldn't play gauntlet with crashes, errors when placing illuvials and then having 2 of them on your bench but only 1 real, bugged augments (not talking about balance here), etc. It takes weeks and months to fix bugs or get updates. I understand some bugs are harder to find but others like double photonic should be doable rather quickly.

Also, having small patches on a successful patch will make more people play, no-one wants to play on the same patch for 3-4 months

[worn tree]

Bugs, Gameplay Features, QoL, etc. It includes everything that improves the experience.

[crystal wolf]

I mean fix those small bug first as priority , instead update everything , and keep improve the patch when many player already play it , because even if they start to make everything as they said when only few player playing , doesn't mean there is no bug will happend later when many people play, so why not fix bug when many people play ,there is more data and they can do fix it at once/ week by week and also know what decision to make.

[cyan olive]

whenever I see end of game screens, everyone gets mmr, is that also a bug?
or is playing infinite games=infinite mmr?

[odd wren]

only your number is accurate, the other numbers are placeholders

[uncut comet]

i feel like with the amount of games all the current active players have , we have detected already all the bugs which happen on regular bases maybe there are still something hidden which happen 1 in 5000 games but thats not that important and ofc there will always be new bugs and stuff but as longer the time goes they get better at fixing them like in tft

[foggy tiger]

GAUNTLET RANK NEED 2

NEED 1

7/8

[crystal wolf]

Yeah that’s correct and why not just give a priority and fixed the bug, we can’t compare it to tft also because tft had many player play the game even without the Airdrop, they had more data they know best decision what the player want, not only few player.

[odd wren]

@wide aspen are augments like void cleaver catalyst and photon ripper? meant to do more damage on crit? Shouldn't it be added after regardless of crit or no-crit?

[uncut comet]

i agree 100% to priority with fixing bugs only thing i meant was that its to early to start season with rewards

the frustration will do more damage then joy the rewards will give

[crystal wolf]

But they didn’t have choice they need more player to play gauntlet , to collect data from people who play( not only few people) , we talk about new player what they want, which things make them fun , and from that they can do better

[uncut comet]

yeah for sure i dont know how long they need to fix all the "important" bugs but that should be the minimum to go into the next season , i personally would also wish the ranger or some more complexity in some sort in

in terms of balancing i think patch a is in a really good state

sadly couldnt play patch b cause i didnt found player

[crystal wolf]

That’s what i mean, they want to scale from patch A and B to create better Patch but only few people play it how can they know which part is the best?

[stiff helm]

yea that’s a bug and already fixed. I believe you now only see your increase/decrease in mmr (released soon)

[fleet pumice]

Beyond needs fixing desperately

[uncut comet]

@bronze spire well done with that quinx ^^

[bronze spire]

yea getting the 10th illuvial down made the difference, tho i messed up and made him furtherest instead of the ophisto haha (for the aug that gives furtherest ally OP and energy)

[bronze spire]

i liked your team, you had slayer yea?

crit amp and slayer on revo

[uncut comet]

oh yeah but u got the umbre taunted its hard to with the energy augment u had

[bronze spire]

yea that was huge

[uncut comet]

yeah and spore also not bad against psion

but tbh i didnt though u find a way if that ophisto dont get the resets but that quinx was actually 500iq

[bronze spire]

yea feel like he was only just getting those resets haha

[jagged summit]

Not to say gauntlet couldn't revitalize the game somehow, though I think we got a good feeling on launch of how much interest there is in playing autobattlers in web3. Not saying other aspects should overshadow it persay however, it seems pretty clear that those other aspects are more likely to bring life to illuvium at this point than the autobattler. I'd maybe change my thought process if mobile was close to being released and in parity since the gamers there would be more likely to exist in greater quantities for us than what we have on pc. Idk though, good luck to the team whatever they end up releasing in the next few months

[supple beacon]

@bronze spire I was hoping you would win the next 2 rounds, I probably would have been able to get adorius and ophisto as well 😦

[bronze spire]

damn haha, thought the rhamphite may have been enough but goliant was too big

[supple beacon]

Yeah 2nd most dmg on my team lol

[bronze spire]

I wasnt even close to any other power spike

trying to do this account no psion/empath build

[supple beacon]

I think the only thing that wouldve beat me is arcanite, but you were not close to that

[bronze spire]

yea or maybe scoriox with magma so he doesnt get one shot

but i would probs need some healing too

[supple beacon]

Damn thats hard, I like to play other things too but when you have 2 atipo + lynx early its hard to say no to it

[bronze spire]

yea feels like it would be climbing with 2nd-4th only

or mostly

[supple beacon]

Yeah you can definitely get top 4 easily, but really need nice rolls to get top 1 without psion empath

[bronze spire]

yea agreed

the dumbest loading screen of all time is that i need to load before going to a queue

[hot pond]

Oh man. I really do not play gauntlet often because its not my thing. But 90% of the times when I want to give it a go I am getting into that endless loop thing where nobody is losing health. This time I also got a game crash before. Is the game really that bugged right now?

[proper gate]

what immune do?

[bronze spire]

cant be stunned/poisoned/slowed ect

[bronze spire]

i pretty much never have this but i hear others do

[hot pond]

Yea it starts with your rounds just getting skipped and afterwards nobody is losing health anymore, basically ending the game with you needing to surrender

[bronze spire]

that sucks

30 thorns is 30 damage to enemy by hit, right? like pure damage?

[still moat]

Thorns = enegry damage

[winter breach]

https://tenor.com/view/sailor-mars-nigel-thorn-berry-funny-gif-14317254

When u expect physical damage from a thorn but its magical

[turbid osprey]

Thorns have always been pure dmg, might have changed but im not aware of it

[velvet wyvern]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? 😮
Only?
But collecting the input damage from both right, only the external damage from it is energy?

[still moat]

Haha, I think so.
No explanation of damage 😄

[proper gate]

and root? what does it do?

Is there perhaps a list of all these terms somewhere? I heard about Illuvium Master once, is it still active?

[worn tree]

Thorns are pure damage 👍🏻

Which means they completely bypass resistances and grit/resolve. Pure damage acts as True Damage in League of Legends.

[still moat]

Thank you

Illuvial Master is no more RIP. Try Illuvidata or Illuvihub @reef basalt @languid sparrow

When an Illuvial is attacked he get omega energy?

and when empath heals he also get omega energy ?

[turbid osprey]

How was the phyriox in there?

[static crane]

just a bit patience ^^

[ashen mango]

I had one last illuvial to place on the board, I was looking for a rhamphite or at least rhamphy but I couldn't find one so first I went for fludd but it was giving him hyper so I decided to put phyriox to prevent him from going hyper

I was winning so easily with double photonic unity that I decided to counter his affinities rather than trying to do something more conventional, just in case

Another double photonic unity

Usually I never get them and today I have 2 games like that

I lost 3 times in a row with double photonic though 😭

I had it on a fliish stage 2 and it was getting killed by octius, shame on me

Oops I thought that we were in the other discord

I shall not reveal our secrets 🤫

Will defintley try it today,rek those Corner compers and flashing my Noob emote will be epic🥳

[turbid osprey]

We need an emote with "corner comp" written and monkier holding a rainbow flag

I was a little guilty about taking the second photonic, but then I remembered that one of the opponents took the lifestorm and I felt better

Hey all, any tips for a new player to get better at the arena? Currently getting rekt lol

[zenith mortar]

Was @warped ocean trying new things?

[zenith mortar]

I would join the voice channel and ask questions or watch

dont watch me

i win a lot

but mostly because im elite

not good at training

[nimble harness]

Cool I’ll jump in there later

[zenith mortar]

or #🎨〕community-content has lots of guides and people showing off how to play

[nimble harness]

And what’s better ranked or leviathan?

[west plume]

Ranked is free for all,Levithan you bring in your own illuvials with Stats and levels.

[west plume]

he was defintley doing something

[zenith mortar]

come get rekt

[nimble harness]

Ah gotcha are both going to have tourneys/comps or is that more leviathan? And how p2w is leviathan or does skill matter as much as deck?

[ebon flume]

Leviathan is more p2w because stats matter

[west plume]

already am ser

[dense karma]

is every ranked game in gauntlet filled with bots? Everytime i am defeated it immediately gives me the results.

[woven flint]

if you play casual yes

play ranked

[safe valve]

yes.
There is currently no option to stay in the game as a spectator when you get defeated.
So you get defeated, see the result, leave the game and can immediatly qeue up again.

[cinder sigil]

The results you see merely represent the current ranking of everyone at the moment of (your) defeat.

In ranked the game obv continues (so no, those other players are not bots) and the final placement is likely to be different to what you see on your screen. Don't know why they can't just TBD those placements.

[ebon flume]

@ashen mango almost got you at the end

Almost haha

im literally just messing around 9/10 games rn

the reason why all this changed in the first place was cause i was so ahead of you all kek, so ill wait until the actual new system is in place before going for #1 again to see what other excuse you guys come up with to try and take #1 from me 😛

like i said im also just having fun rn, ranks dont mean much atm

and theyre gonna get reset

[viral marsh]

yes, i know. it's why i stop play main. wonder why you stay and lose points

[warped ocean]

well the points dont matter much rn and im streaming so gotta play something lol

[opal atlas]

MMR is just a number

[viral marsh]

but you got invited for some tournamets by using this numbers atm

[opal atlas]

It's just a phrase from Dendi, champion of Ti

[cerulean flume]

double crash

[warped ocean]

Patch B should not go to mainnet. Bro, who is running things around here? Is it not clear that Patch A is a much better direction, now cause of all this we still have broken augments in the game we cant fix for weeks now cause of this patch B.

https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1302301460599410779

were just wasting and wasting valuable time

[lean ivy]

Love it! Wish they would fix the it so we can actually fuse without having to sell a unit in this case. Would have been awesome!

[viral marsh]

2 scoriox? how it possible?

[rare meteor]

Not being able to scout your opponents is so bad, you dont know how many people are making the same comp you want to go so its just a roullete if your comp is going to be contested or not. This also make people playing together in tournaments stronger, since they get info from 2 opponents per turn, instead of only 1.

[ashen mango]

Please if you're pushing patch B into mainnet, do it after the tournament that will take place on November 9th at 1:00 pm UTC

It will probably last 3-6 hours

[cyan olive]

people cheating, that would never happen 😉

I hope we get all the basic TFT features soon, might play again then.

[rare meteor]

yea, i love the game but there are for sure some basic feature missing. Those are WAY more important than balance tbh, right now the game seems pretty good balance wise.

[cyan olive]

yeah, somewhat same story as with Ascendant, when fundamental gameplay things or lack of QoL features were the issue and not some numbers or abilities

[edgy bough]

That’s insane, didn’t know it was possible

[sand fable]

hmm i have no dust on the ground only the augment that give dust afinity

even though it show

or the legend augment give anyway the first level of the affinity ?

first place first try gauntlet

now need to try ranked though didn't understood half

[worn tree]

Hey Sota!

As Kieran mentioned in the Tournament channel, patch B won't be deployed on mainnet.

So all tournaments this weekend will be hosted on patch A.

Expect a more detailed update tomorrow about how we will move forward with patches and balancing.

Thank you! 💯

[fallen vortex]

Yeah testing balance rn does feel kinda unusual. It's like testing balance on Poker when someone took half the cards out of the deck 🤣🤣. All the components of the game need to exist first, like how can U even test balance on composites when weapons are coming

[supple beacon]

100%, patch A is enjoyable, the team should focus on fixing bug and brining ranger in

[fallen vortex]

Fixing Bugs and Frequent Patches = retention.

This shenanigans with waiting weeks and weeks to fix minor details like Augment balance is the only reason Ascendant died. The game had its merits, it just didn't get any love.

[supple beacon]

I 100% agree, I am in the camp that prefer the old ascendant over gauntlet (even tho I agree that Gaunlet is a better focus for mass adoption)
The main reason it did not get any love is that we were having one big patch every 3 months instead of a biweekly really small one

[fallen vortex]

Yeah it's really not that complicated hahah

[dusty vessel]

i like ascendent, i hope the team keeps it, just get it a bit more balanced so you can run multiple different teams and it will be fine

gauntlet anyone?

[crystal wolf]

5/8 Gauntlet

[umbral oracle]

Tick this if you would be interested in a 32 player Leviathan tournament worth $1K in prizes.
1st $500
2nd $300
3rd $200

With CURRENT balance.

[safe valve]

Current balance yes.
But i probably wouldn't run any tournaments before gamefreeze/(augement) fix.

[hot pond]

I would do it after the issue is resolved that games get stuck in endless loops where nobody is losing health and your turns are just getting skipped. Happens at least 50% of the matches to me

[cyan olive]

I still strongly believe ascendant was way too low skill ceiling and way too high rng.
Was the opposite of the initial promise of less rng more agency than Card Games due to adding autobattler combat and removing draw rng from „deckbuilding -card games“.

[worn tree]

Hey,

We’ve decided to merge the best elements from both patches and bring them to mainnet. After that, we’ll continue iterating and making bold adjustments to keep the game engaging and enjoyable.

Moving forward, you can expect patch updates every 1-2 weeks to keep the meta fresh and refine overall balance.

Best.

[crystal wolf]

When is that patch update? It's hard to matching now many people stop playing untill new patch i think.

[haughty edge]

can t find game

only me??

[hollow orbit]

First, how about holding a tournament with no prizes, or with cheap emotes or illuvitar as prizes, rather than money?

Right now, there's no one to play Leviathan even if we wanted to test it, so holding a Leviathan tournament itself would be a good first step in our testing.

[fallen vortex]

Oh most certainly, but it felt like to me, that they gave up on it without actually giving it a shot. I know that Gauntlet is maybe easier to mass market, but I'm not super convinced on that as fact personally.

[fallen vortex]

Sounds perfect thank you

[cyan olive]

I feel similar, Gauntlet as an intro to the units and traits and everything is good, but 1v1 autobattler would be a new thing, but seems like it is hard to make work and figure out a good turn based version, playing at the same time seems terrible.

[fallen vortex]

I still maintain, having a movement limit could be good. Max move 2 units per round. It puts significantly more emphasis into your positioning from round to round. I think Gauntlet needs it too.

[cyan olive]

In 1v1 that would make some sense, especially now that rogues don´t blink anymore and you can just play front-back.
In 8 player , as you rng your next opponent.

[fallen vortex]

Its definitely harder in 8 player, its more of a TCG/1v1 mechanic. But it definitely needs something for that final 2 that makes the insane amount of random positioning bs less annoying?

[umbral oracle]

wdy no one to play leviathan?

[fallen vortex]

Btw could you please clarify what 'the best elements' is exactly? I know people loved the Illuvial and general synergy structure of Patch A. What in particular is coming from Patch B?

[worn tree]

Increased Synergy Impact & Constant attack speed on ascending an illuvial.

[fallen vortex]

Sounds perfect tbh

I currently feel like the 2 and 3 synergies are kinda just for show, unless u acquire like 4 of them at once. But bigger impact on ascension is exactly what we need, although its already much better than 1 month ago.

[cyan olive]

That´s more a fundamental gameplay thing imo, comes down to the Illuvials and Hex-Grid making positionings far more polarizing in here compared to TFT, where it is just front to back powerlevel check more than having some perfect swap of units.

[fallen vortex]

Yeah but I am sure there's a middleground. Like what if every movement cost 1 MP. Economy is so valuable in Gauntlet that it would become a genuine decision point. In many cases moving 1 illuvial would give more impact than buying 1 Illuvial. Or maybe its 1 MP for every 3 moves or something idk.

[cyan olive]

That just adds rng.
guy who has to move randomly has to spend money

[hollow orbit]

I think the situation is that there aren't many players who have a high-status, sufficiently high-level Illuvials.

[fallen vortex]

It will definitely take time

[fallen vortex]

You think it'll impact choice of team composition too much? I mean you shouldn't need to move randomly, or if you econ well you will have that choice. But yeah like you said its more impactful on the rng of the round robin, I am constantly in my mind of the final 2 players.

[cyan olive]

If we assume current "scouting", you still rng if you move or not, every silver elo player can see that decisions and make it and it solely relies on if the enemy moves or not and as positioning in ILV is rather polarizing you win/lose due to it. It isn´t an interesting decision to make more a coinflip mostly.
Maybe vs some teams players have to adjust, they then randomly have to spend money, maybe can´t make next econ breakpoint, then it isn´t 1 gold, but 1+ maybe even minus 1 in econ each of the next turns, then if they spend maybe that missed money is the difference for making breakpoints again, so that 1 gold for moving might cost you 10-20 down the line.

TFT is mostly min-max of many small decisions you make through the game to end up with an overall powerfull board.
Positioning has 50/50s there as well, but they aren´t making up for as much power level diff as in ILV with like walling off and many meele carries that don´t have lifesteal e.g.

That´s also why you can kinda just follow website guide on what to buy/how to position and it works most of the time.
If in e.g. ILV you never move prob can´t ever win, some unit or positioning can exploit that.

Can argue if that is good or bad, but in blind setups it adds rng, not agency.

[jade pecan]

what, rogues dont blink anymore?

[cyan olive]

didn´t I read in patchnotes that they don´t jump anymore?

at the start I mean

or was that only a future thing, mb if so then cut that

[jade pecan]

Huhm, which patch note, maybe I miss it

[cyan olive]

idk was some big wall of text

obv I didn´t play recently, as the patches/changes don´t adress what I´d like to have (item-components, the TFT version of Augments, loot drops at neutrals, Galaxies (the game wide effects people vote for at the start), carousel, set mechanics like the charms atm).
I hope most of those make it in soon.

[umbral oracle]

When there is prize money involved I expect to see more people playing. There are certainly enough people out there with good illuvials from playing OW

[dark vine]

btw. what is the top rail price? 10$ for 1350?

[inner badge]

+4 gauntlet

[gleaming canopy]

wen prize money

[crystal wolf]

Is't competitive scene tournament on season 3 is gonna be leviathan or ranked? It's kinda confused since there is no official announcement yet, because if all mode gonna be compe it mean as player we need to prepare well right? So i think need more for clarify this, because for me i though many people playing ranked so i think it's gonna be ranked and i choose to prepare and pratice more strategy on ranked as priority instead of find perfect stat RN, i have some of them but not all of them since i stop it and do pratice on ranked, so i think if there's official announcement we can prepare well as player for the upcoming update.

[umbral oracle]

We will have rewards for both

[frozen tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/atlas-ilv-illuvium-wen-gif-25573912

[cerulean flume]

Is there a registration for participants somewhere? How can I get into the tournament?

[crystal wolf]

I see thanks for the answer, so both of them will have tournament at S3 right? Hope there's official announcement on that so other people can see and start to do something, it's gonna be really nice to see new people come to play before the season start, example like my friend i invited them to play but they don't know what to do RN since there's no info yet and they only choose to wait until the season start.

I think many people is thinking same way as them specially if they never play the game yet, some maybe save they fuel waiting untill s3 cause they think s3 gonna be like s1-2. Specially Gauntlet is not like OW, it's more complicated and need more time to learn it than OW, i dont think new player can compe if they just play when the season start. Like my self it take 3 week for me learn everything until i can get my first win even my gauntlet point 400 at that time, and it's not fun at all if you are always lose lol it's gonna stop some new people to play the game i think.

[severe steeple]

Good question!

[flint lodge]

maybe better?
1st $300
2nd $200
3rd $100
4 75
5 75
6 50
7 50
8 50
9 50
10 50

[short solstice]

its 8max , so if u want like that should be TOP 8 ( couse possition 9-10 its complicated to payout ) 32 players so that mean 4x8 , in each match will step up 2 best , and final bracet its 8ppl 🙂

[flint lodge]

okay 8 good too

@ashen mango like on levi tourn

[ashen mango]

I did

We're doing this guys 💪

Leviathan for the win

[flint lodge]

Just be gentle with me, I'm still learning 🙂

[west plume]

Going to use the 500$ to get some more emotes🤭

[west plume]

I played Sota and it went as expected

[flint lodge]

I don't no) fox destroyed me)

I think Sota too) coz stats and levels only one aspect of game

[west plume]

https://tenor.com/view/brutal-savage-rekt-gif-9810801

[west plume]

If there is a Guild name behind theire name and they ask you to play Levithan, you will die

[short solstice]

btw if its for 32ppl , how is criteria to register ?

[winter breach]

Curious as well

Maybe make preliminary matches to get an invite

Seems the most logical

And keeps community engaged

@west plume im barely online nowdays, can u forward that as suggestion

[dark vine]

I thought top 32 on the leaderboard ?

[winter breach]

With bugged arguments and Points?

Points were fixed a week ago

[dark vine]

Kieran talked about the future not about today

[winter breach]

Ah ye

Im talking about the tournament though

[dark vine]

me too, but maybe we talk about different tournaments. I thought about the bigger tournament with tft pros.

[viral marsh]

top-32 of Leviathan leaderboard

[opal atlas]

So it's better for leviathan

[glass lichen]

Wait there is a tourney channel ? /

[vivid stirrup]

created one for the players that are in our tournament on the 9th, to gether sentiment on what augments / units should be banned etc.

[golden locust]

[uncut comet]

Hey is there a Site with all augments in gauntlet i want to make a ranking

[west plume]

Would love to see a qualifying round for all to compete, but pretty sure Players with decent decks for Levithan is really low so it might make sense to go by the Levithan leaderboard.

Most likely Rich who will organize it.

@zenith mortar

[viral marsh]

so - we have play more leviathan to get into this tournament?

2/8 xD. join

[twilit storm]

@viral marsh can we see more than the top20 on the leaderboard? 👀

[west plume]

Anyone can take a picture of the Leaderboard for Levithan?

[viral marsh]

how invites works for previous/current tournaments? - top-20, then some whitelist/direct invite for guilds/illuvium etc.

[twilit storm]

actually was top16 + wildcards + gauntlet gathering series qualifiers

but HYPE gauntlet gathering was not leviathan, dunno how many players are ready to play a lev tourny

we can scale down to 16 and test it btw

[west plume]

Iam pretty sure @light garnet said that mods should all have a standing invitation for all Tournaments.

I could remember wrong

lfg

[opal atlas]

Only me missed the lynx empath

[tight swift]

psion stage 3 at rouge team is crazy

[vernal forum]

These augments are definitely bugged. I did 6 nature - which would be like 600 energy damage a second, but clearly it doesn't work the way it's written.

[slim trellis]

Same for me. Making the game unplayable if you miss a argument round your fucked.

[odd wren]

It will be fixed with a rank reset and maybe lobbys of same strenght which is hard to achieve with the current player base. You should not gain too much finishing 2nd in a lobby where the average opponent is 600 points lower than you.

[glass lichen]

I don't think we should use average Player it should be shifted

Maybe drop the lowest 3 elos and calcualte average

[odd wren]

I mean they are in the game which increases your chance of top 4 and the calculation is the same for everyone

[glass lichen]

yeah its weird though maybe its just the base should be set higher something like 8/ 12 / 18 / 25 and adjust from there if your over the average elo by a lot but coming in second and getting 6 or third and getting 1 doesn't feel worth 45 minutes of playing and people are gaming the system with 2nd and third accounts also decay a player 20 elo for each day they go without playing a game ( like must elo system) to prevent setting

seems like some top players are actually trying to create smurf accounts to play and prevent people from catching them .

[odd wren]

It's not an issue with the points you gain but more so that the leaderboard was not reset when the points gained got adjusted. The reset should come with "season 3"

[glass lichen]

its a issue with the player base that has to be adjusted for , we NEED decay until we have a much bigger place base if you don't play a game you get a lose for that day. Thats how a lot of top elo systems prevent this kind of griffing people tanking elo on a second account ON PURPOSE . so that they can play and beat people to keep them from climbing faster becuase a win they get like 10 points for a win but one single 5th place or 6th place and they lose like 20 . When tourney invites are being decided by elo this stuff has to be on point .

[odd wren]

Can someone tell me why Squizz has a composite as a stage 1 unit?

[gloomy mural]

scoriox > octius

scoriox is much stronger especially against corner or mellees

[fallen vortex]

I think it has a different set of augment options that make it have higher potential. But you really think stronger in raw power?

[gloomy mural]

imo yes

scoriox is the most powerful unit rn

[fallen vortex]

@wicked hedge Please teach me how you get so many stage 3's without fail?

[wicked hedge]

hahah 🙂 its all about that good econ at the right time. I lost though, to the camping corner build

[fallen vortex]

My team was able to stop artful

Unfortunate

had u not countered me so hard, I had first easily

[wicked hedge]

yeah, that is a hard counter to my team, and my is a hard counter to yours.. very balanced actually 🙂

[fallen vortex]

after that round i would have gotten adoredo in

the 4 nature, 2 empath and extra heals

had me in the end zone

[wicked hedge]

that would have helped.. since i am Air heavy

[fallen vortex]

i was forced to roll out my econ for phorus, to guarantee top 4

like 30g, so rough

But seriously, how did u get stage 3s?

Did u roll hard on like lvl 5?

[wicked hedge]

nahh, i play quite patiently, i almost never hyper roll

[fallen vortex]

dude i couldnt even find 2 chucco

or 3 tiru

u must have gotten them early as hell no?

[wicked hedge]

i do hyper roll a bit to get revo and at least 3 of each

but then i just play patiently

lets roll guys

6/8

come onnnn

oh no this lobbies stacked

[dark vine]

just started playing two weeks ago, because prices are on a sensible level now. Sorry, for everybody that started playing with the irrational price level, but this was just predictable. The story will just repeat itself if they really fixate the prices at 6$ instead of 1-2$ for a stage 3 run.
That being said again. I am having fun playing the game now that we have decent prices. With some demand through gauntlet the prices for Illuvials look decent as well. Good stat Illuvials are still worth quite a bit and t5S3 Illuvials still go for like 20$

[gloomy mural]

oh you came

nice

where can I see a list of the debuffs?

[gloomy mural]

I tagged not the right man kekw xD

[wicked hedge]

I came, i saw i conquered, suddenly had a meeting, but managed to get back haha

just went above 2100, looks like im in silver xd

[safe valve]

which one is better for gauntlet?

[wicked hedge]

None, they are not perfect

do you want a disadvantage bro? 😉

[safe valve]

i can't afford a whole deck of perfect stats mate 😄

[wicked hedge]

was joking, a stage 1 doesnt matter anyways, its all about those S2s

[hollow orbit]

I would use 1051274

[safe valve]

sure s2 are more important, but i wouldn't say stage 1 don't matter

[dark vine]

I would go with the first without a second thought

[glass lichen]

He has Magma , Granite , 4 Psion's , I'm guessing by the augments on the octi you die before you get through the wall of undamageable tanks

[safe valve]

which singe you guys would use for gauntlet? (sorry... done asking stupid questions after that 😛 )

[wicked hedge]

given that this is level 50 already, maybe the second one, dont think attack speed is that important on it, but allows it to cast omega more often, but u want it to tank a lot, and it does that with max health and resistance

[safe valve]

and if you wouldn't care about level?
Cause i wana fuse a sear and would one use for the fusion, so level wouldn't be wasted

[wicked hedge]

would maybe have fused the lvl 50 one but dont know actually, both work fine

[safe valve]

yea i guess it's a difficult decision.
bit more durability or a bit more dmg.

[wicked hedge]

u would prob want more damage on the Sear though?

[safe valve]

my first thought was keeping the tanky guy as singe because bullwark and fuse atk speed guy for sear because behemoth

[wicked hedge]

exactly

[safe valve]

cheers mate appreciate it

[dark vine]

since they are pretty even I would say this is the best argument you can come up with it. So, yes, sounds reasonable

[hollow orbit]

I would use 955722 Even if the LV is the same

[ashen mango]

Still not top 8 ser 😏

[wicked hedge]

just a matter of time bro haha 🙂

[sinful hornet]

resist and hp has to be worth way more on him than as

[fallen vortex]

@digital lion u r just too good man

[sinful hornet]

im not really sure how much diff 0 to 50% attack speed actually has on singe, cuz he extremely rarely casts more than once, i'm actually not sure if it even makes a 1 second difference in how fast he casts the first one

[jade pecan]

You should activate the Behemoth class to see he acts

[fallen vortex]

Attack speed stat does not impact cast speed

Not on its base factor at least

[sinful hornet]

what do you mean

you get energy per attack

[fallen vortex]

It scales on the inverse

So 100 attack speed might be 1 energy per attack

200 attack speed would be 0.5 per attack

[sinful hornet]

wait, attack speed is useless for energy gain?

[fallen vortex]

its calculated on battle start

[fallen vortex]

if u gain attack speed during the battle, it impacts it

but the stat calc is done before battle

and has no effect

[sinful hornet]

a lot more illuvials just got useful then

btw, do you know if psyons deal damage on autoattack based on AD or if it takes the OP?

on base, not on ult like phyri or something

because the damage tab in game show it all in blue

[fallen vortex]

Every Illuvial is different. But for the most parts psions auto attack does energy damage. It is not affected by OP to my understandingn

But will calc using energy resistance

Some Illuvials, like phyriox, Actually do an almost 50/50 split of energy/physical auto attacks, outside of its omega

Given arcanire is the composite of both

[sinful hornet]

but is it affected by the AD stat

like is a 50% AD squizz and a 0% ad squizz the same or not?

[fallen vortex]

Yep. It works the same as every other Illuvial. Just it calcs as energy damage instead

[sinful hornet]

ah got it

[fallen vortex]

Which is based on resolve and energy resist rather than grit and phhys resist

[ashen mango]

Nil suggested that the stat calc was done after battle start a few weeks ago if I understand correctly so AS affects energy generation

[frozen tartan]

Gauntlet Ranked 2/8

[sinful hornet]

we can test this if we can somehow fill a custom leviathan lobby

[digital lion]

haha gg man, you did well

[safe valve]

didn't saw he did answer you on the ebb question.
ebb doesn't get energy regen out of attack speed stat, right?

[ashen mango]

I don't think that he answered

[wicked hedge]

seems the que did not register that i left by pressing cancel from the que... lost 50 trophies xd

the team seriously need to fix these bugs

[wicked hedge]

after a que bug where i lost 50 trophies, i am no longer top 10 🤣

[tired depot]

gauntlet ranked 7/8

[glass lichen]

Good luck getting that back will take 4 or 5 first places lol

[cyan olive]

psion and empath auto do energy dmg, unless it recently changed

[glass lichen]

i had that happen to me twice the first day the leaderboard launched

[west plume]

This is why I always go
For 4th place🙂

By choice

[vernal forum]

I tested this a few months back with an AS augment on Fludd and I could not discern an increase in Energy regen. 🤷

[carmine flume]

how can I go to overworld chat?

I try it under Arena

but shows nothing

[worn tree]

@ashen mango @safe valve
#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

This might be relevant to what you were saying. Just tag if you have questions 👍🏻

[carmine flume]

I think I just made my best run on Overworld

[safe valve]

yea i saw that, that's the post, which actually brought up a question mark 😄
I just wondered how it works with ebb since he doesn't attack?
From what you were writing there, attack speed actually is important even for ebb-line, since it sounds like it's more of an energy regen based on attack speed, than actually an energy gain of an attack?

[ashen mango]

Imagine if ebb generates more energy with AS and we all bought ebbs without caring about it 😂

[dull wind]

ebb is the only exception since he doesn't attack

[ashen mango]

If they do my fludd is shitty

[dull wind]

you're good 🙂

[dull wind]

that's almost a twin of my fludd 😅

[ashen mango]

I actually have a better one 😏

[viral marsh]

is it fludd party here?

[ashen mango]

I was just showing my 2nd Fludd muahahahahaha

[umbral oracle]

Let it be done then. I will set it up for mid next week

[worn tree]

Oh I see. Since he doesn't attack, he doesn't benefit from this. So Tiktaalik's energy generation isn't altered by attack speed.

[odd wren]

@worn tree got 2 questions for you:

1. What is the range of gold we can earn from each neutral round?
2. Is it normal that true damage augments (void cleaver catalyst/25 dmg) can crit?

[humble gorge]

can someone confirm for me how omnivamp works, is it only energy attacks that drain or physical too?

[worn tree]

Hey Sage,

1. Attached Image displays how it works for now.
2. Pure Damage can crit.

[odd wren]

Heals from all damage done

[humble gorge]

thanks ❤️

[odd wren]

Thanks🙃

[fallen vortex]

The second one for sure. Sear needs attack speed, not as important on singe

[fallen vortex]

Attack speed does not affect the omega cast

Unless something changed

[safe valve]

cheers mate 🙂

[turbid osprey]

it does from lvl in leviathan

[vivid stirrup]

might be too late but i'd always choose the 4/5 perfect stat one for fusion to give me the best chances of getting perfect outcome

if the other 2 are similarly strong

[frank patio]

where do i sign up? link?

[frank patio]

a reworked version of ascendant would actually be a great step after gauntlet is perfected still see a lot of potential in it being that others dont quite have that merge between tcg and auto chess

[fallen vortex]

So in past versions of the game, energy gain is calculated based on attack speed at battle start. So 100 attack speed and 200 attack speed have the exact same energy gain. Are you saying that stats and level are not factored into this?

Cause that'd be pretty game breaking imo. Good stats casting first fundamentally changes the strategy of the game quite a bit

[odd wren]

Last time what I understood was : att speed buff during the fight did not impact energy gained but the att speed stat did increase the energy gained.

[turbid osprey]

Lvls dont impact atk speed but yes atk speed stats influence energy regen, its the exception to the battler start rule

[fringe burrow]

how could I apply?

[mighty tulip]

I hope you 50 players know what you're asking for. Because if you don't have a level 50+, near max stat collection you're going to get stomped on by those that do 😅

Imo we need leviathan leaderboard rewards to be running for a bit before a tournament. I'll watch the massacre though, it'll be entertaining in it's own way 😆

[granite osprey]

whity and sota own super stat's and Level 60's

[umbral oracle]

[west plume]

I really should have protected him better,th bird just ripped through

[late lagoon]

yeah i think if u just put him right behind your tanks I would never have got through

[frank patio]

amongst 4/5 vs 5/5 trait illuvials perhaps the difference of 10% could be more like 5%, but making it so free illuvials are anywhere near a 5/5 is catastrophic

[frank patio]

also with the new augment system will it be more so that everyone has the ability to craft any augment in any given match or will it still be a lottery system only reliant on rng?

[cyan olive]

They have energy gain per atk based on base atk speed, if you buff atk speed in combat, then you get that number more often, so you get more energy.

unless it changed the modifier atk speed was impacting that in overworld, that´s why 3 months ago I told people unless you have 50% atk speed illuvials are "bad"

[odd wren]

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message
#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[odd wren]

Yeah that's right, buff and stats impact the energy gained by second

Just went back to check

They use the base attack speed so all illuvials get 10/s and then calculate what it is per hit and then if you gain att speed you gain more energy per second

[cyan olive]

yeah

[tight swift]

em nice I think

[stoic parrot]

How expense would it be to pay some internation country to have some players constantly cued up to play gauntlet so there is never a wait? $10 a day? And they make money to play a game, and others who spend more than that on the game get to play right away. Obviously can drop this when the game takes off but perhaps should be considered now.

[turbid osprey]

I dont think queues will be a problem when the game starts

[umbral oracle]

The max I've waited now is like 2.5 mins

How long were you waiting?

[tired depot]

Same

[vernal forum]

Long queue times during off peak hours can be upwards of ten minutes. Very unusual to reach fifteen at any point, but it can happen.

[stoic parrot]

goal should be less than a minute...limited attention spans anymore 😉

[vernal forum]

That would be around 400ish concurrent players. I’d guess we’re in the 30-40 concurrent range most times I’m playing. So, a factor of ten off.

[vernal forum]

This is so weird to me. Community is, very understandably, playing less each day and all that was needed was a patch to the meta a couple weeks ago fixing a couple augments and lynxes and hard reset the elo with leaderboard incentives. That would have rejuvenated the base players with numbers increasing.

Instead, we got nothing and people stop playing. Makes no sense.

[jade pecan]

Why does the Lynx OP bug take so long to fix?

[crystal wolf]

They just overconfident with all the future update maybe specially with this bull market. They prob things it's can be like 2021 when almost every ALT token is 10x than the price.

But yeah it's not wrong too, most project will have same opinion maybe at this time.

[dull wind]

@worn tree why has gauntlet no cost to move units on the board like there is with ascendant? Don't really enjoy all this constant positioning switching.

[worn tree]

There is an implicit cost --> Time

The amount of real time decision making in Gauntlet is multiple times higher than Ascendant, if you spend time positioning, you are losing it in multiple other ways.

[dull wind]

you make it sound like you're rolling every turn

[tight swift]

pro tip

[dull wind]

there's plently of time to always keep switching except on a turn where you go heavy on rolling

[worn tree]

I know it sounds like that now, but remember that the game is lacking several features.

[west plume]

👀

[dull wind]

yeah fair enough.

scouting will take some time as well

I'll prolly do it on the PVE rounds

[worn tree]

You are goddam right. And not only scouting...

[dull wind]

looking forward for the game's finished state

[worn tree]

In any case @dull wind, Ascendant will be back in the future. In there what you are saying will make way more sense.

But to clarify, this is patch A?

[fallen vortex]

[eager portal]

To make it enjoyable to play on Testnet now, you need to increase the entire economy of earning gold by at least 2 times

[woven flint]

No b atm

[woven flint]

?

[eager portal]

with the ranger even patch b isn't that bad)

[eager portal]

Need testnet:
Base income +8
Interest (max +10)
W/L streak 0-5
Gold per win +3

[eager portal]

more precisely 50%+

Basic armor and weapons should not take up full slots in the equipment sleeve!

[raven obsidian]

So I just played a quick casual game of the testnet build to see latest updates. Honestly, I didn't even touch the ranger or upgrade it. There are way too many suits and weapons to choose from which seems to over complicate it. The tile icons for the upgrades are also too small and you can't really see what's what unless you hover over to read... but with the latest updates the timer goes quicker which in result doesn't give you enough time to sort the ranger out.

Understandably, this is just the 1st iteration of the Ranger and I'm sure there will be updates, fixes and balances along the way. But, I feel like the added ranger needs to be simplified.

I'm presuming the suits and weapons from Overworld are all in Gauntlet? If so, I think that means there are 45 suits and 120 weapons to choose from. Just seems excessive.

My opinion may change after a few more games, but 1st impressions matter the most. Especially for a new casual gamer having a go.

[supple beacon]

This is exactly why having bonding as an option would make sense.

https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1300179232038719700

[woven flint]

My take after few games also

• ranger in gauntlet is very good

• shop with all the weapons and suits feel wayyyy too complicated

• I would prefer like a caroussel at the beginig with few weapons and maybe an "augment round" where it s only weapons at round 12 or so to be able to change.

• bring back bonding.

As said above so many suits and so many weapon doesn t fit with gauntlet style IMO
Don t use the tiers for weapons, just "fire sword" or so and bonding like the good old survival fit better gauntlet

[dull wind]

agree, waaay too many suits, and hard to differentiate. Another thing is that only veteran players know what are the stage 3 composites for each weapon, new players have no way of knowing which weapons they should pick. This also applies to illuvials, but it's somewhat easier to remember the illuvial's affinities cause they're more iconic.

[supple beacon]

Learning how to bond is definitely easier than to learn all the different weapons and what affinities they becomes at higher stage.

[dull wind]

maybe I missed it with all the action, but I reach the heads-up and I didn't see a single T5 weapon popping up.

(selling weapon was bugged so I prolly missed it)

[fallen vortex]

I havent played it and I would love a huge econ buff, but you cant add gold to win, adding too much snowballing is bad, its why lose streaking even exists.

[fallen vortex]

Bonding is pretty complicated itself tbh, not sure it improves what u r saying

[odd wren]

Pretty sure bonding is less complicated than rolling through tiny shops with a lot of choices. Once you know how composites are achieved when illuvials get to a higher stage, bonding feels natural while adding more options. You could add a small tutorial. Fighter + fighter = berserker.

Someone wants to play berserker, takes the sword and bond. More experiented can see what will fit their composition

Having 2 shops is definitely an issue. There is already a lot to do, and now you add a second shop that is less 'natural'.
You might think learning the weapons evolve is similar to learning how illuvials evolve, but you can play up to 10 illuvials at the time, while you can play only 1 weapon. You can learn how illuvials evolve up to 10x faster.

We pushed this one to testnet fast to give you guys a raw experience. There is a lot of stuff we can do to improve the quality of life. But before we do any of that we want you to play it raw so we can work out a direction.

How do I discard a stock weapon?

Keep in mind there are some fixes coming to make it cleaner. But give us your thoughts.

One thing we will probably do is switch to armaments coming every 3rd shop to clean it up.

Also a new inventory system to clean it up. Right now it’s a bit too chaotic.

The Ranger is meant to be a bit of a build-a-bear.

Suits will have passives, and sort of act like augments. With the weapon being the omega.

We want you to be able to cook.

Sepolia right now has patch B on it. There will soon be a new patch that combines best features of patch A and B as well as some new mechanics. From there, we will start iterating quite quickly. 👍🏻
