[zenith mortar]

😂

[spare fable]

delete whole saved file?

very titling 3 games straight dc rnd 17/21 then gives a random augment then lose positioning 🥲

[zenith mortar]

Yeah

Usually helps

At least in my experience

Results may vary

[twilit storm]

@winged fox claimed the 16th and last spot for the "Gauntlet Grinders III"

Don't give up! There are still 4 open slots on the waiting list. These reserved slots will be assigned to the top-performing players. The waiting list will be evaluated at the end of the qualification window on February 14th at 23:59 UTC.

[spare fable]

Do we still send top 1 matches ?

[violet summit]

@twilit storm the tournament is Saturday at 8pm UTC right?

[twilit storm]

@spare fable yeas pl,s keep posting 1st and 2nd finish..we will do the snaplshot Friday for the 4 slots of the waiting list.

[twilit storm]

Yes Saturday Feb 15 20:00 UTC

pls be present at least 20 mins earlier

[fluid raptor]

PLEASE. make that sell area a little away from the corner spots. I dont remember how many times I sold a precious illluvial mistakenly.

and wanted to send this to feedback but it is ages of scrolling down during playing a game

there is no go to date there I dont know why

[light garnet]

You can send the feedback outside of a game, or go to #❓❓〕support to use Zendesk to submit the bug report + add this screenshot

[fluid raptor]

this is not a bug bro :/

and as I have mentioned above feedback channel is endless scrolldown

I am losing my current game trying to say this :/

[cursive echo]

ohhh yes

[light garnet]

You can submit feedback in the exact way you would submit a bug. There's a button you can click to choose

[fluid raptor]

okay my bad writing here

I will just go play

[light garnet]

All good, just directing you to where you can get it directly to the team. It's more than fine to post it here as well

[fluid raptor]

thank you

[fluid raptor]

I will focus my current game but before let me tell it is really hard to report that during a game

you decide to give up game to report

[light garnet]

Yeah I understand; but my point was that you can send feedback when you're not playing a game as well. No need to do it mid match

[fluid raptor]

maybe report button should take a ss or smth. then we report and write after game ends

it maybe more useful

[fluid raptor]

I focused smth. else. and you suggested smth. else I did not notice

that is helpfull ty. but my suggestion is also other 😄 ty anyway XD

[light garnet]

Haha all good mate

[fallen vortex]

You can press b and send feedback through the ingame tool too

[bronze spire]

done this a few times too lol

[fluid raptor]

yes that is what I am talking 🙂 you cant type title and description during a game. It should get a ss and fill it aftergame or it should be simplified

that is why most of the people, including me gave up sending it while typing since the next round has started

[fluid raptor]

lost my 3rd lvl infernal due to it last time 😄

+phantom XD

[bronze spire]

lol far out. Yea i like sorting this to the farm right so had to change that

[fluid raptor]

yes me too putting the important ones to sides to seperate. and this happens 🙂

selling system is good and fast it is okay, but just a little further would be nice 🙂

[supple beacon]

An undo button for the most recent sell would fix this as well

[fallen vortex]

Its certainly impractical in such a fast paced game.

[fallen vortex]

Would be nice to disable the move off the board sell system entirely (in options). I always use a hotkey

[fallen vortex]

This would be ideal yep

We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the Gauntlet Grinders III tournament.

For those who narrowly missed the cut, don't despair.
The top 4 players based on qualification points (4 points for a win, 2 points for a second-place finish)
will be granted exclusive access to the waiting list and rewarded with Disks.
This recognizes your strong performance and provides a chance to secure a spot in the finals.
The waiting list snapshot will be taken on Friday, February 14th at 23:59 UTC.

Don't stop grinding, Rangers.

[spare fable]

They are working on other stuff

Might be why network stuff

[spare fable]

Ye might be ,

[frank nimbus]

the game during this hour is horrible

[naive mantle]

is the update affecting gauntlet? ive experienced already like 6 bugs and had to restart twice

[naive mantle]

haha ok so not just me

[frank nimbus]

i was playyin 10 hours ago. it had no problems

[naive mantle]

same. right now it is a disaster, for sure

i want to assume its related to the mechanics doing stuff

i cant even reconnect now im just gona bail outta this one

[frank nimbus]

i just skip movement and back sync

units sold came back on

[supple epoch]

Trying

[naive mantle]

mine is just completely not working. i can reconnect for 1 round and need to restart it again

[frank nimbus]

same

[supple epoch]

All i got was 1

Good testing tho

[naive mantle]

probably maintenance affecting it :p

holy i think i just sent almost 10 bug reports for different bugs

[cursive echo]

@ebon flume

[ebon flume]

I've been trying to reconnect 10 times

[naive mantle]

it is down with maintenance

maybe the team didnt expect it to interfere but it is

[ebon flume]

[ebon flume]

Yeah

Can't be a coincidence

[naive mantle]

hopefully not, right😳

i mean, its probably gonna get reset on tournament launch anyway :p

[ebon flume]

I'm back but game wont start****

[naive mantle]

might be worth reporting a bug, but maybe not since its probably related to maintenance

[ebon flume]

Hopefully it is so for everyone and I get 2nd or 3rd

oh it's fighting

spent like over 100 gold and couldn't get 4 ramphies when it was down to 2 players.

is this normal?

[zenith mortar]

Did he have Rhamphyre

[noble hinge]

You should have been able to get it after I was knocked out because my Rhamphite would have gone back in. Isn't that how it works?

[frank nimbus]

No it was vs all nature

[frank nimbus]

Exactly. I was super annoyed lol

[noble hinge]

I can see why.

[frank nimbus]

man i hope the new updates and bonding will solve the "meta" problems.

The last few patches, one of the composition is always significantly stronger than the rest. And about 3-4/8 players would go for that then the rest the players are going for other things with the right augment to try to beat the meta composition. This seems so rigid after a few games...

I wanna play 3 invoker + 3 granite vs 4 wildfire and 3 steams or whatever crazy stuff we come up with

[bronze spire]

possibly a bug where they dont go back into the pool properly

not sure if thats still a thing though

Guys is there rewards for leaderboard gauntlet ramked?

[calm jewel]

not yet, currently rewards only 4 tournaments in arena

[light garnet]

They will be coming soon. Once Gauntlet is a bit more stable and they have the feautres they want, the team will roll out ranked rewards and some other exciting stuff

Perfect time to practice and be ready to compete

[sinful hornet]

define soon

come on lets go

[light garnet]

You know I can't give an exact date, but I'd assume it will be within the next 1-2 months, going by past comments + rough times given. Plus, the gauntlet is looking really decent

I had a chance to win one last night yeah! It was 3am for me though

Seems like it could be really cool tbh

It'll just need some people to get involved

[west plume]

yeah really like the concept,

[light garnet]

Even though I only had to go hunt a T0, it reminded me of the old mega hunts

[languid sparrow]

Here some data from Ranked game since 2025-02-10, you are rank 26 with a 1.95 ratio [Game played / Points] for the Hype Gauntlet tournament ending 2025-02-14 23:59 👀

Spoon you #17 so far pretty close keep playing and you might be reach Top16, also you Ratio is above the Avergare which
Your ratio: 3.50 Average: 2.51 (see graph)

If you like this, just imagine what I will build on illuviVault website 😏

[safe valve]

i'm so bad... but still better than @lean ivy , so i'm happy 😄

[safe valve]

can't wait to see that 🙂

[languid sparrow]

Is there any features you guys will pay to have access ?

[stiff helm]

Oh you guys are going to like the updates with the multiplayer builds. Experience is so much better 🙂

[languid sparrow]

Any idea when it next update ? Anychange Ow stats will be fix at the same time 🫣

nice sheet and point system ranking 😁

[twilit storm]

Ser 4 of anything (composite) is simply too strong 😉 nothing can beat them, only another 4 of something counter

[twilit storm]

Rangers, The Gauntlet Grinders III qualifiers snapshot is happening in a few hours! Top 4 players by points earn a spot on the waiting list and Beyond DISK rewards. Keep grinding, you still have time.

[lean ivy]

I am so excited

with those improvements the game should start getting in a really good state!

Right now there is so much diversity in the comps that can win.

You can do all in one primary like 9 (all but nature feeling a little bit weak probably because fire is a little too strong)

You can push for 4 of a composite I have seen so many win

You can do composite hybrids like vanguard behemoth or arcanite templar, slayer berserker. With a variety of colors.

It really is making the game feel like there is real agency and just fun!

Once the multiplayer servers and the stability are here along with some of those features on the Blog. I think we will actually be in a state to compete with tft! LFG

[stiff helm]

First or early of second week next month. Continuing with our monthly updates 🙂

[sinful hornet]

so do we have a chance of multiplayer servers then?

[lean ivy]

Not always 😉 Didn't notice it till later but he had 4 shock

[twilit storm]

he messed up some positioning and the aug placement was not optimal imho, you are right btw. player agency has a role here.

[sinful hornet]

tbh i'd rather have 3 wildfire than 4 shock tho

also way rather have 3 predators than anything else

[twilit storm]

shock is not like it was few weeks ago, bit nerfed prolly? maybe?

4 inferno vs 3 pred ..i ll take it everyday

but wen I try to go inferno..the staff remains s2 even if i have enuff staffs to impress Gandalf

[stiff helm]

Yes they’re being worked on as we speak

[sinful hornet]

meaning for next patch to clarify

[twilit storm]

https://tenor.com/view/no-come-on-nah-nacho-nacho-libre-gif-24343910

They typically have a mid month patch right? so I imagine 2 patches away

[frank nimbus]

how come its not showing how many players?

[plush iron]

need to restart abit

it happen sometime

guys in the last 3 days i went from 2400 points to 2200 without playing a game

just so u're aware

if this were to happen when leaderboard mattered it might cause a few people to jump off a building

this is something that had to happen somewhere in the last 2 weeks, cuz let's say 10-15~ days ago everyone at the top lost 50-150 points randomly too

Test comps are fun ...

was thinking more like a trivia thing.

[shrewd stirrup]

hello admin,

Can i suggest please as a beginner in the game if theresa possibility of a simulation practice boards basically like playing chess alone. where users can choose illuvials on both sides, levels and positions. just so beginners like me can plan ahead what to do if certain build is on the other side of the board. thank you and hopefully will be considered. ❤️

[light garnet]

Great idea! I think this would be useful for a lot of people.

[sinful hornet]

literal 100 gold difference loses this game is actual fucking whack

[plush iron]

i see many time this build literally wack sheet out of corner com

[sinful hornet]

idk why gold exists in this game when caradulox is a 100 gold unit that only costs 9

it wasn't even about corner, mahmuth and monarch were the important units

100 gold difference gets u a coinflip chance depending on where caradulox is positioned that's crazy

[mighty tulip]

It's not like I stomped you @sinful hornet 😅. We went back and forth beating each other for a good few rounds.

It was the Target Acquired augment that won me the game. Ryplance could stay out of harms way and still deal damage

[sinful hornet]

yea but that's not ok

a 100 gold in units diff should win afk

basically if you really want to you can get ur endgame comp without the chip pretty often, but to cap my comp this hard is idk 1 in 15 games maybe even more, so the fact that it doesn't even autowin is just flawed design

[turbid osprey]

Hamster had a chip which is equivalent of 200 gold so ez win, simple as that

[sinful hornet]

now look on my monarch

i had 4 harbingers he had 4 verdant so we cancel them out

[turbid osprey]

Ah yea true true

[viral marsh]

he build weapon stage-3 - it's rare. and visionary vanguard aug.

if you build rhamphy>probably you win

[sinful hornet]

ohhhh ok nvm then i thought the weapon's just 2

[sinful hornet]

the monarch was better rhamphy

but every round was just coinflip on where the caradulox was

[viral marsh]

but both they can kill this comp

[sinful hornet]

because i either won with 30k dmg monarch or my units had no abilities

[viral marsh]

instead of snail. you will get inferno.

[sinful hornet]

actually ye u're right, u think over snail instead of rake ?

[viral marsh]

snail give just psion, it's poor

[sinful hornet]

ye but it gives the 20 op to monarch and scoriox

[viral marsh]

his augs much better that your's. that win game i think

[sinful hornet]

u think this one's good?

[viral marsh]

also, he have put blotto, not goliant

[sinful hornet]

as in the screenshot's wrong?

[viral marsh]

i mean blotto will be stronger choice that goliant.

[sinful hornet]

yea

[viral marsh]

5 nature+wf

[mighty tulip]

I had the Colossus shield. I was hoping to try out 4 Colossus but didn't quite get there

[haughty edge]

so no game?

I can't think it's possible that in the whole world there are 2 of us in the last half hour wanting to play this game

there are 8 billion people in the world and no one wants to play this game, there must be more people right now playing pong on the commodore 64

how can this thing be possible, I invested 6000 euros in this project, because the idea was fantastic and everything led to success, how is all this possible?
there were supposed to be rewards, and within two months they were blocked

now what I purchased will be worth not even a tenth of what I spent and nothing is done, I've been behind all this for 5 years

not even those who create it and work on it play it

what s that?

I would gladly play Gauntlet Leviathan with you.

But is it really possible to gather 8 players?

I would love to play more, but waiting 20 min for a game is just not possible all the time. We need more players 🥲

[worn tree]

Once the game is complete, we’ll reintroduce leaderboard incentives and launch a marketing push to attract more players.

In the meantime, I completely understand the frustration. Thank you for your patience as we elevate the game to a top-tier experience in the autobattler genre.

[sinful hornet]

How do you rate current patch compared to the patches of 2-3 months ago in terms of u being addicted to the game?

[worn tree]

In my opinion, the current patch is worse than previous ones due to the dominance of the vertical meta. Additionally, this vertical meta feels more stagnant and offers less skill expression compared to a composite-driven meta.

We recognize this issue and will be addressing it.

At the same time, as you guys know, we’ve been analyzing the bigger picture and are working on a full revamp designed to enhance both game variance and skill expression.

[sinful hornet]

glad im not the odd man out then, gives me hope that you usually nail the feeling of the game

[twilit storm]

yeah..we already talked bout this..you remember yes ser? 👀

[worn tree]

Also, FYI:

The next balance patch is set for early next month, launching alongside the regular monthly update. This patch will address the vertical meta along with other balance adjustments.

After that, we plan to resume a biweekly balance update schedule.

In parallel, we’re developing a major balance patch that will:

• Tackle macro gameplay issues identified in recent months.
• Double down on the elements that we have identified as more enjoyable based on our criteria and community feedback.
• Adjust to the upcoming game-changing features, which will significantly shake up the game as you know it.

[sinful hornet]

One huge super bad feeling on this kind of patch is that lack of scouting makes it be way worse than it should imo too, cuz at some point u're just flipping a coin and have to commit.

[worn tree]

I can’t share more details, but the feeling you’re describing will soon be significantly reduced.

[dim cove]

Is team considering 4 players or something for the game instead of 8 in total? I am keep seeing players waiting for 30 mins to play the game because they need to wait for 8 players... @zenith mortar ?

[bronze spire]

need stable game (no crashes), multiplayer server (scouting ect) and range of other features before considering anything like that i think

or i more mean hard to judge right now since its bascially in alpha/beta

[sinful hornet]

4 player's not solving anything, realistically they'll have the improvements + the leaderboard rewards and ur queues should fill whithin minutes

[dim cove]

I am not a arena player but i notice players keep waiting to make the required players available and i feel the pain without playing the game here...

[dim cove]

Correct. They should improve rewards and competition for it

[bronze spire]

yea they games usually fill, seems like always atleast 1 game going at a time, so often if you miss it you have to wait 30mins

ive never had it not fill and i play oce times which is lowest player times

[frozen tartan]

@worn tree #📣〕announcements message
Hi! I'm really excited that leaderboard rewards will be returning in mid-March.

I wanted to clarify—will both Gauntlet Ranked and Gauntlet Leviathan paid leaderboards be introduced at the same time?

[bronze spire]

where did it say mid march? thats awesome

[worn tree]

Who said leaderboards rewards will return mid march?

This is step one in the rebuild. Now we have the runway, and it will continue to be extended.

Enormous updates are coming mid-next month: Auto drone runs, multiplayer servers, and leaderboards reactivated.

28-3 down with 2 minutes to go in the third quarter. We're about to run

[frozen tartan]

Enormous updates are coming mid-next month: Auto drone runs, multiplayer servers, and leaderboards reactivated.

[bronze spire]

interesting

maybe those updates starting mid-next month, not all at once

[worn tree]

Right, it’s getting closer and closer!

I’m so excited to have rewards back too!

[frozen tartan]

Sorry, but I'd rather ask a "stupid" question and be sure than stay silent and regret it later.

It's February now. The post says "leaderboards reactivated" in the middle of next month.

Just to clarify—does this mean that in mid-March, we will start receiving ILV tokens for ranking high on the leaderboard?

[silver merlin]

its kieran, lets just keep april😂

better to be surprised in mid march than dissapointed in april

[worn tree]

It’s not a stupid question, but I can’t share any details just yet. When the time comes, we’ll make sure to update you on how the system will work.

[frozen tartan]

There were recent posts on Twitter mentioning that many mistakes were made.

Is it really possible that after so many mistakes, there will now be public misinformation regarding timelines? I tend to trust the CEO's words, even though I have had unfortunate experiences with this in the past.

When someone in such a position makes a public statement, I believe they should stand by their words

[silver merlin]

I understand what you are saying but ive been with the project for a long time and in my opinion Kieran is more hype than promise. But we will see. I hope you are right

[frozen tartan]

Yes, I understand what you're saying. I've personally experienced similar promises before.
But I just hope that this time, real work has been done to address the mistakes— not only the technical ones, but also the promises.
The weight of one's words is incredibly important.

[tight swift]

Is there a chance that bonding the Ranger with Illuvials will be added before the rewards for the leaderboard?

[violet summit]

i think he more means those updates are starting mid next month, im not expecting rewards to be out straight away

To qualify for waiting list

[twilit storm]

lol

no waiting list ser, just play and have fun

info and rules on HYPE Discord or scanning the QR

[violet summit]

@twilit storm so if I read it right, points can only go up, is that correct?
If you place 5th-8th you don't lose any points?

and also, do we need to send any screenshots?

[twilit storm]

no screenshot and yes points only goes up.

We have the average points per game that will make it more granular

[sinful hornet]

do you have a link not just qr?

[twilit storm]

we will post an announcement with all the info and rules on HYPE discord soon.

Really like the new system,well done.

[twilit storm]

Shoutout to @dark scaffold and @languid sparrow , their brains made this possible.

[sinful hornet]

don't take this as complaining but wouldn't it make more sense to have top 4 give points and bot 4 substract? Im thinking about the math of just ffing on an 8th as soon as u load in to get a queue with worse players if the queue timers aren't dead

[dark scaffold]

not sure about Linky, but in my case it was my slave AI 🤣

https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1169004294473793597

then find Hyperion

[turbid osprey]

Yea id also suggest that for the next one @twilit storm , or if its possible to change it before it would be fantastic

Not only it can be abused like hollow say but it reduces skill expression while encouraging no lifing

[sinful hornet]

2nd point doesn't apply, there's no points for 5-8, it just encourages u to get out of the game instantly if u see a lobby with 2-3 good players and go farm some noobs for a 1st instead

[ebon aspen]

just make a smurf account

with low elo

[sinful hornet]

yea that's exactly it

[turbid osprey]

My 2nd point has to do with the fact that you cant lose points

For example a mediocre player who plays 20 games and place 10 1st places and 10 8th would have the same score has the best player who played only 10 games and placed 1st in all of them

In a normal system the normal mediocre player would have ~0 points here

[safe valve]

Would work if there were 1k+ qeueing AT the Same time 😄

[sinful hornet]

there only needs to be 12-15~

[turbid osprey]

Theres no matchmaking it doesnt matter whats your elo

[sinful hornet]

you only need to get out of slickz/foxpirit lobby once and then u can dodge them for the whole day

[ebon aspen]

it does for new players when they see high elo player, they will wait and just re q

GL to everyone !!!! I want my 360$ a week

[west plume]

I will be getting all the noobs🥳

[ebon aspen]

I might actually start playing this sober

[sinful hornet]

i doubt most of them would recognize their names, u can just do the play on smurf to auto concede if u care about ur current points for some reason

[ebon aspen]

it depends if they do a soft reset or a full reset for points

[sinful hornet]

there's no reset

it's not using in game ladder

it's tracking points

[ebon aspen]

eventually there will be

[sinful hornet]

they will hard reset before rewards

so current points are basically usless

[ebon aspen]

I'm talking about old system ranked

[sinful hornet]

yes, there's no rewards for this one

at least logically but u never know

[ebon aspen]

hold on I have to put you down Hallow on my kill list

[sinful hornet]

gl im immortal

[ebon aspen]

and Foxspirit

[twilit storm]

Average point per match will kill you..but hey u can try

[sinful hornet]

but that's only tiebreaker

[viral marsh]

if i change name. how my points count?
is it by player name, or blokchain number?

[ebon aspen]

but honestly good money, 360$ weekly in another country is big money

[viral marsh]

we need anonimous mode. so noone play against/around you.

[sinful hornet]

if foxpirit, slickz and web3 play in the same queue a lot of time their EV is 4 points a game, if i leave every game with them in it in theory and then get a fast queue into noobs my ev is 6+

so i'd just be way ahead in points assuming i'm the only one abusing

[viral marsh]

need to see, how this LB will work. if need play 14 hours every day to be top-1, prob it's not worth

[sinful hornet]

it's better than the 10 hours i was playing for free

[viral marsh]

you still can play 52 hours and get nocked out of top-4 and get nothing

[sinful hornet]

i would be very surprised

[viral marsh]

check last qualify for phantom tournament. it was 8 players with top-1 everyday

[sinful hornet]

but that's just 2 games

[viral marsh]

it was 2 top-1. but most of time, you have play 3-5 games every day, and it was still close.

[sinful hornet]

i think unless 3 of us just perma play in the same lobbies and someone else is queuing with ghost accounts for free wins most will be in the top 4

[frank nimbus]

The objective of this tournament is to encourage game play and reduce que time. I understand the top seed players are theory crafting how to min-max their time to win the prize. But even the recreational players will benefit from it bc it will save us a lot of time from waiting around.
My point is, don't be too critical with the structure of this 3rd-party community project.

[sinful hornet]

i was playing max 3 games average for the 1sts

[sinful hornet]

this is 3 lines of useless text no offense, there's an exploit here that can be fixed ->as far as i know->easily

you can even only deduct points for 8 and 7 just to prevent the insta ff

and not make legit players afraid to play

[frank nimbus]

Well let me further summarize what I said lol.
Stop bitching

[sinful hornet]

yea this is a cuck mindset

"stop trying to improve things"

[zenith mortar]

Gl you gotta go through me

[frank nimbus]

You are theory crafting ppl gonna ff bc they see top rank players and they give a fk about the points for a $800 prize pool
Reality is. I'm a recreational player. I just want no que time and I want to play against yall to learn the use of augment n other things.

[sinful hornet]

bro reality is im ffing insta and going to farm my 8 points instead of the 2-4

reality is you're not competing for the top 4

[west quartz]

just get good and compete with top 4 lmao

[sinful hornet]

just get good at math

[viral marsh]

yes, but at other hand - 4-10 players, have play 24-7

[sinful hornet]

you have scenario 1 with 6 points EV u have scenario 2 with 4 points EV, unless there's actually no more than 1 queue at the same time u always take scenario 1

[west quartz]

your math is off

you have no guarantee you'll have an easier second lobby

[sinful hornet]

i do because there's 2 players max i'd care to dodge

and if they're all in the other game i just got myself +2 EV

at the cost of a few minutes

[west quartz]

if you're that good you're better off training against them to skill up for when better rewards come in

[sinful hornet]

we're talking about rewards here in the first place

we're maximizing money EV here

[viral marsh]

most of game now not about skill 🙂

[sinful hornet]

and when u got 3 players on roughly the same level even if one's +5% better u're still basically 3 way coinflipping

so whoever gets out of that lobby to go farm noobs is the winner

[viral marsh]

i agree. play untill legendary aug, if you in strong lobby>got good aug, try get 1st. got usseles>go next

[west quartz]

Unless these new rewards bring back more good players

Outside of web3 and maybe patate none of the former top players are currently active

You may end up having more than 2 people to dodge

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/ummmmmm-excuse-me-what-gif-19629790

I'm THE top player

[sinful hornet]

need to update my list to 3 people

[west quartz]

Hahahahha indeed my bad sorry for the mistake Rich

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/recognize-big-bang-theory-howard-holowitz-gif-12150240

[west plume]

*4

[sinful hornet]

if the lobby has 8 players i might as well get out

[west quartz]

Or just use it as a learning opportunity

See it as an investment if you prefer

Cause if at some point the avengers pull up because some juicy rewards kick in and you have to handle viper smart ads zadkiel and co gatekeeping the top ladder you’re gonna wish you trained more 😂

Or worst, itsmartini

[viral marsh]

when this time come to us, it will be x100 other players. and it's other game. you should play just against time to grind ladderboard points

at ascendant - you play 1-1. and as higher you climb by ladderboard - as higher opponents you play against.
that not work for gauntlet now.

[west quartz]

Being good at games is being good at games
These all hit master/challenger in tft as well, they can easily steamroll the current ladder with minimum efforts

[sinful hornet]

the game doesn't work like that, when u have close to equal levels the game decides who wins and if there's differences of 5% u only see them in hundreds of games, the whole point of this is when your goal is to get the money it's better if the incentive of you abusing the system is worked on from the start so you're not even given the chance to abuse it

also at that point u learn more not playing than playing

[west quartz]

What if you instantly leave the lobby, and the other 2 good players do the same, then you all 3 end up in another lobby

The system will regulate itself

[sinful hornet]

man what are u even saying, u think all 3 of us are clicking ff at the exact same time or what

[viral marsh]

you can made agreement if that happend. who leave game 1st 🙂

[sinful hornet]

you don't have to do that

there's legit no reason to leave as 2nd guy

but when the first guy left he gave himself better EV and the other 2 guys also got higher EV

and it took 1 minute

[west quartz]

Assuming the second lobby is easier

[sinful hornet]

bro if there's 3 good players in the game yes the 2nd lobby is easier

[west quartz]

So that applies to what ? Top 5 people on the entire game ?

[sinful hornet]

3

in a ladder with prizes for 4 people

[viral marsh]

btw. if it group of 8 players, who can just que and leave from game. and farm points for 4 choisen.
i don't find in rules something about that

[sinful hornet]

i think u legit don't even know about the event and are just typint for the sake of typing

[sinful hornet]

yea i thought of this too

i don't understand all this need for philosopical talk when the fact is there's an exploit that if only 1 of the 3-5 players does it then he will be 1st

[west quartz]

So the top players can have better earnings because they can abuse lobbies with worst players ? Seems tragic indeed 😂

[sinful hornet]

but for the grouping part i think there's still be low enough playerbase that it's catchable if people care to catch it

actually u can abuse this insanely hard cuz u just ff in order tho so it has to be checked

[west quartz]

Easy, let me explain. I randomly saw this chat were you were trashtalking and thought I’d join because I have free time and think it’s fun 🎉

[sinful hornet]

trashtalking?

[west quartz]

Yeah that falls under the trash talk scope in my book 😊

[sinful hornet]

must have a million pages in that book then

[west quartz]

Still, consistently smashing people bad at the game eventually makes you worse, while people playing against the top players will improve, so if you keep doing so they’ll catch up and you’ll end up having way more than 2 people to avoid

[viral marsh]

do you play at current gauntlet, or is it just basic vision?

[sinful hornet]

there is no top, there's 2 lobbies going at the same time if u're lucky

half the lobbies are as useful to improving as bot games

[viral marsh]

i'd say, in half of lobby you have to imagine which strats your opponents play and build something different>than you win.
but players who not play strats>just play units (deck of psion+fighter+rog) pick units from every strat. it's hard play against them, coz you never know, do they thief everything you need or not.

so - you mostly not improve, but play against random. legendary aug, strat choice and how fast you got/even got your units.

[west quartz]

I started playing a bit again, but that’s true for any discipline

[west quartz]

And you want to dodge the other half 🤷🏻‍♂️

Poor Peter

[west plume]

Pretty sure Rich photoshopped him to the bottom

[spring basin]

I agree with this. This system is easily abused with almost no upside. The only thing it does is make the game more unfair and worsen the player experience.

It seems some people are not understanding Hollow’s point here. What he is saying is that if you want to win, the most important factor is your average points per hour. With this system, some games will give you a higher overall point total over 36 hours by surrendering, which should never be the case.

I would suggest something along the lines of:

1st: 10
2nd: 8
3rd: 6
4th: 4
5th: -4
6th: -6
7th: -8
8th: -10

[sinful hornet]

If you want to encourage people to not stop playing because they don't wanna lose you can even have 8th be - half of what 1st gives, 7th be like -3 and 6 and 5 almost 0, but this would be enough to make insta ff not worth

[west quartz]

That only works if you’re the only one using that strategy

[sinful hornet]

man you seriously can't reason

[west quartz]

If every game « weak » players instantly surrend the top 4 gets faster points

[stiff helm]

Did you want me to change the RNG back now before they notice? 😉

[sinful hornet]

there's realistically 3 to max 5 players that can use this at all

[west quartz]

If this is the case, then it isn’t a problem

And anyone can surrend to have an « easier » lobby

[sinful hornet]

the leaderboard reward is for top 4 man

and there's like a 20-32 playerbase of total players

[zenith mortar]

They are already suspicious

[west quartz]

I can, you’re just stuck on that one scenario you thought about 😂

[sinful hornet]

the scenario i've had to use multiple times and will have to use again if it's not fixed

[west quartz]

Let’s say you’re in a lobby with the top 4 players, you wanna instantly surrend, then all the other players can

[uncut comet]

im not sure if i understand this correctly but do you guys mean since there is no matchmaking between elo , ppl can just surrend into lobies where only lower players are to get always 1st cause the last place didnt take to much -lp

[west quartz]

And why wouldn’t they

So you’re giving a boost to the top 4 of the lobby because they’ll just play a fast 4 persons game

[sinful hornet]

brooo, one guy does it, the others don't need to anymore man, the math changes instantly, that's why they won't do it cuz it's just simple goddamn math

[west quartz]

I think you really don’t understand math as well as you think

[sinful hornet]

i think u've never been close to competitive level at a game in ur life

[west quartz]

If you think it’s better for you to surrend, then the others might think the same

[west quartz]

I don’t recall ever seing you in the top ranks of arena back when we had rewards though 😂

[sinful hornet]

almost like i wasn't playing

[uncut comet]

i would agree with style tbh

but not sure if im fully understand what u guys mean

[sinful hornet]

up to the organizers, i've already went through this exact shit in other crypto games and people always got mad after i did exactly what i told them was the corect play

[west quartz]

You enter a lobby, top 3 players of the ladder are here, so you ff, but you expect others won’t. Except they have the same reasoning as you so they do. And the top 4 people of the lobby get easy fast points. While you wasted time in queue

[west quartz]

Maybe because it isn’t the correct play then ?

[uncut comet]

yeah

[sinful hornet]

ye that's exactly why me and the others who did it were so far ahead bro must've been the wrong play

[uncut comet]

make low players can abuse but they will never catch high ranks with this method

lower*

cause in the real time the good player will not only lose less points but also get more points

[west quartz]

You think you had the 200 iq analysis because you thought « wait I can ff and go faster », not taking into account that if this is the « right play », then others will do it, making your strategy less effective than just playing it normal

[sinful hornet]

u failed monty halls problem

[west quartz]

You assume others won’t ff and only you will do it, as if it was a static situation you can abuse

[uncut comet]

yeah didnt even saw this from this side

[west quartz]

I’m just telling you that there are 8 people at play here, and you assume you can abuse the system by doing something that they won’t do, but if they do, you’re screwed

If you can’t take multiple scenarios into account but still think you’re a genius, well, enjoy 😂

[uncut comet]

but why we not just take the system of tft i dont understand , its proofed and nobody care about a system which is coopied

if the whole game and gameplay has different style and mechanics

[west quartz]

We’re talking about Hype event planning to give rewards

[uncut comet]

oh haha i though u mean the elo system

[west quartz]

No no not the Elo system

[uncut comet]

but i dont understand why even care about the event system

the ppl who talk right now come anyway always into final

its whatever

[sinful hornet]

because if you're a top 3-4 player ur best play is to ff instantly to go farm noobs the moment u queue into other 2 good players

[west quartz]

He thinks the points system has to be changed because it can be abused by surrendering if the lobby has too good players

[uncut comet]

ah okay u guys mean its just to much time waste

[sinful hornet]

what

no that's the problem there's no time wasted

it's time gained

for the ffer

[west quartz]

Unless more people ff

Then time is gained for people that remain

🤷🏻‍♂️

[sinful hornet]

gauntlet currently has 2 modes right now: queue into specific 4~ players and coinflip some positions all the way from 1 to 4, or queue into not those players and have insanely free top 2

bro, if there's 4 good players in the lobby their EV is terrible, if only 1 leaves those 3 players still have worse EV in that lobby than the guy who ffed and got into noob queue, and nobody's fucking ffing after the first guy to go queue into coinflip when he aleready has coinflip left here

[west quartz]

If there are 4 good players, what makes you think the 4 worst players won’t instantly ff

It would be in their interest to ff

[sinful hornet]

why the fuck do i care about the worse players man

[west quartz]

See, that’s the whole problem

[sinful hornet]

if they do that i just got free points what are u even on about

[west quartz]

You thought about this from your only perspective not expecting others people to act on the situation

[sinful hornet]

broo the worse players have no chance to win at all, they're irrelevant man

[west quartz]

You need to study some game theory before talking like a big boy 😂

[west quartz]

They are

[sinful hornet]

so how did my situation change at all then please explain

if a guy who had no chance to place above me ffed

[uncut comet]

bros i think we should just relac and take a step back , everything is in experimental state right now its good that you discuss this and make your points about this and the tournament organizators will read this , but how i understood your points if the system is like both how explained it its balancing it out anyway if to much people will abused it

in one or the other way

[west quartz]

What really matters isn’t how many points you get, it’s how many points you get compared to the other top players. If you identify top players in your lobby and ff, assuming this is the correct logical choice, then others will do the same until only 4 players remain in the lobby. Which grants the 4 remaining players fast points. So you’re allowing those person to get more points compared to you because they get a free top 4 AND a fast game.
While you wasted time in queue, then ff and waste some more time in queue, then have to make an 8 players lobby game

[stiff helm]

Agreed time to chill. I will also remind you that we have rules about exploitation and that includes trying to game any ranking or leaderboards.

[west quartz]

Well I’m chill 😂

[sinful hornet]

why put the exploit in there when the fix takes 2 minutes, it's like giving a madman a nuke and acting surprised when he used it

and i've seen this multiple times in crytpo games and they never catch all the abuser so it just fucks everything up

[stiff helm]

We’ll get around this fixing things like this, but i think we can all agree that the higher priority is sorting out other things like crashes, things to bring more people in etc 🙂

[sinful hornet]

ok maybe you don't have the full context here

we're not talking about ladder per say

we're talking about the 3 day event rules

[west quartz]

The priority is to bring back ranger bonding 😜

[sinful hornet]

so this is not something the team would have to spend any time on

[spring basin]

It's more complex than that. There isn't just one scenario where you can FF; there will be several throughout the game. Let's say you roll 80% of your gold and don’t find much at all, and you also have a couple of bad augments. In that case, it's most likely better to FF and move on based on your position in the game. Skilled players can usually tell how strong their position is, even from the early rounds, and then make their decisions accordingly.

This also changes how the game is played compared to how it’s meant to be played. Now, you’re somewhat forced to play for first place because of the point structure, and it doesn’t even matter whether you finish in 5th–8th place. What’s good about this?

You can argue about how effective this method is, but the only real debate is about the extent of its negative impact—it still has a negative impact. From your perspective, what’s wrong with negative points, and why are you arguing so heavily against them?

[sinful hornet]

This makes it so to win u need the highest points per hour, which means that to win the best play is to not play vs good players, this exact event i've already played before in other games, some listened and prevent the abuse in 2 minutes some had the noobs mad at them cuz they didn't play properly so they got way less rewards than the ones who did

you substract points for 8th and 7th and the problem's solved before it even existed

[west plume]

its one tournament,would make sense to see how it goes..

[uncut comet]

okay i somehow agree with how u explain this , would this stop with leaderboard rewards cause u cant waste your right now "useless lp" anymore cause it will have value again?

and kieran said leaderboard rewards are coming soon back againn

then they can ff anymore without taking damage

[sinful hornet]

nothing even stops u from playing the event on a smurf if u care about ur points

[uncut comet]

yeah im not so expert with how they manage smurfing

just asking

[sinful hornet]

allowed one account every 24 hours

[uncut comet]

is it possible with kyc?

for accounts

[sinful hornet]

what kyc?

it's just email

[uncut comet]

idk how was it called again

verification

with pass and everything

and phone number

to make a account

[sinful hornet]

i don't remember having to use a phone number

but i know i have 2 accounts with different emails

[uncut comet]

i think since we are a "crypto" game and having something on the line

[sinful hornet]

i really don't remember it being more than email

[uncut comet]

but nah it would make onboarding horrible

your right

yeah

the system need to be perfect

[sinful hornet]

but having like 10 screens of wall of text back and forth for something so obvious is really stupid

[uncut comet]

yeah hard

[uncut comet]

but tbh bro would it even effect the real skillfull players from winning every tournament or getting into every tournament , cause they will get there anyway always cause they are better no?

cause with the abusable tactic u pay with hours

and the good player will not need the hours

the will get in before

[sinful hornet]

well if u leave this exploit open i can tell u 3 people in top 4 guaranteed

[sinful hornet]

no this is the variable, if u have 2 queues at the same time one of the good players gets out of the good players lobby and just farms noobs

if u only have 1 queue it isn't doable

but if 100$ for 3 days doesn't bring in at least 8 other players then idk

[uncut comet]

ah okay now i understand i saw this from another perspectiv cause for me right now 2-5 god players and like 10 really good players and u mean if we have like 100-200 god or good players and tournament size is only 32 or 62 some of them get screwed by this then

cause i always saw it from the point how it is now

[sinful hornet]

no, for me there's 3 players i'd consider dodging, so now if i can insta get out of 2 of those game and get into a noob lobby i get rewarded and they get punished

[uncut comet]

yeah but right now it wouldnt make the overall outcome of the tournament different

at the end the best win anyway

we see this every tournament

the best come in and play

[sinful hornet]

it changes placements around

the guy who abuses gets higher than the ones who dont

[uncut comet]

tbh bro idk for me im hangover in some tournaments maybe playing at 30% and i always come to finals i feel no effect

even if the rolls are bad

only when the last 8 players are there its hard

[west quartz]

let's start by saying i couldn't care less about negative points.
the goal of this event isn't for us to make money, it's to reduce queue times and create an incentive for people to play. so if someone wants to chain ff anytime he sees any competition in a lobby, reducing everyone's queue time in the process i'm all for it.
i'm mostly arguing because it amuses me to see someone speak like he's a math god while he can't process basic game theory

[uncut comet]

just want to say with this i think if the skill is there it doesnt really matter

[sinful hornet]

my game theory is not the same as u when there's 3 people in the game worth dodging

[west quartz]

also, considering we still have many crashes/bugs, i feel like we shouldn't be too punitive to the people getting a bottom 4

already sucks enough to lose a game out of a bug, would make it even more tilting if you lost event points

[uncut comet]

yeah the bugs and crashes tilt me for sure more then anything else and thats what they fix right now + the new updates , i think after this all comes out and the tournament organizators need to change there stuff too then when everything is in a final state then we can focus more about balance and abuse

cause if they fix stuff now

and in one month need changes come then need to fix again

new*

[sinful hornet]

if you restart the game after every single game it usually doesn't crash

[uncut comet]

brother i did before tournament , not often it good alot better but i still get things about its about my hardware but i think my hardware is right in middle what the most people have

but good better then in the past for sure

like if u lose your winstreak or just your thoughts and focus and 1-2 rolls where u where before its hard tilt and i never asked in a tournament to remake still cause we i know it will get better

[zenith mortar]

5/8

[worldly remnant]

7/8

[bronze spire]

I think the best players will feel they can top 4 even if things aren't going well the first half of the game, never know what aug you will high roll later or if you can out position or get lucky and verse a favourable match ups more in final rounds. Especially when you consider you are likely having to wait in que anyway.

I agree adding a negative to finishing bottom 4 is better though. But only if its easy enough for organisers? not sure if they are relying on screen shots or not. If they are than can see that being a real pain to manage

[twilit storm]

crashes and disconnects will have a major impact if ppl get negative points for that reason. We will have time to adjust..let s see how the first 72 hours session goes. Nothing is set in stones.

[viral marsh]

if my game crash at round 1 - and i can't reconnect, thats fine if i start search next game? - it's not against explotation?

[stiff helm]

If you genuninely cant reconnect that's okay. They were talking about purposely disconnecting to boost elo, which when rewards are introduced would be a problem 🙂

[viral marsh]

with my current elo - top-8 give -50 top-1 give +7. so - insta leave not problem with boost elo.
but with current LB tournament - let's say Hollow leave after round 1 - he got DC and leave or he abuse something?

[bronze spire]

not abusing if it not an advantage so id say no

[viral marsh]

yes, you can play for top-4, and get 1 point, or you can lose fast and start next game and have higher chances for 4-8.

[bronze spire]

i dont think he will be scared enough of 4 players in his lobby to risk waiting in a 20-30min que for another game he might be less scared of lol

[viral marsh]

i look for some games on screen. at night EU time - much of games was with 2-3 afk, or with poor deck.
and when i come at 3 pm UTC play and play against 3-4 top player, it's different games.
when every game i have to play like in finals

[viral marsh]

it's depend how long que time will be

[bronze spire]

ok yea this might be true but that is a completely different thing

[bronze spire]

yea no way of telling, so highly doubt he will risk it. Its likely not to be instant

[viral marsh]

if you know exact time - 10min looking for game - it's mean you can play till round 9. and than if "disconnect" happend - you can insta start next game

[bronze spire]

thats also super not fun and just looks bad. Also giving your competitors free top 3 in that case

[viral marsh]

but if you stay with them - it's mean with 70-80% chances next game you will play again with them

so - you can get in bad roll, and have to take bathroom after every game

[bronze spire]

true, i guess thats fair game, if top players dont want to verse eachother i guess one of them has to risk a que time

no real way around it when you consider crashes ect too common to be giving negatives which i think is fair

[viral marsh]

yes, but that happend with everyone. at previous qualify on Hype tournament i disconnect all day at every game. sometimes 2-3 dc in 1 game. i was in fire, but still got in fast.
at previous Phantom tournament - everyone in lobby dc 2-3 times on last game - but we finish it.

[bronze spire]

yea there is some crashes you cant get back into though

[viral marsh]

happend with me only if that last round

[bronze spire]

yea, i think leave it as is. If top players want to dodge other top players than guess its part of the game/rules, and i dont think any will though. They risk que time + ego loss + cringe

[viral marsh]

no cringe, just math.

[bronze spire]

that math is part of the game/rules. All fair imo

its clearly not a super serious tourney, many more flaws than the ones we are talking about too

[viral marsh]

is it made gentleman agreement at 2nd day against rules?
lets say - after 24 hours we will see leaders. and 4 will be far ahead of other. and we all decide stop try hard at this point?

[bronze spire]

i think thats a good call yea

Might be wrong, but pretty sure that's where I was by memory

[languid sparrow]

kind of need the exact number :D, thx anyway

[sinful hornet]

Stuart please understand, no it's not about boosting elo, it's about boosting points gained in a 3rd party event at the expense of ur elo, you're actually griefing yourself for the illuvium ladder

[sinful hornet]

i will absolutely ff a bad start in any lobby that has both foxpirit and slickz together unless i do it once and have to wait 20 minutes in queue and there's no actual noobs to farm

it's just the optimal way to play

[haughty edge]

2/8😭

[bronze spire]

Than I think fair game, don’t really see too much issue if that’s the case. Just a game within a game 😄

Unless the gentlemen agreement is made like Fox suggested

[sinful hornet]

there is another thing you can do if there's dead queues at a certain point get 7 other random people with you and farm them and be above everyone by 100 points

but for 100-160$ i can see no one bothering to do this hopefully

[bronze spire]

yea exactly and usually atleast a few qued in a dead que that could probs spot that / win the lobby

[west plume]

Anyone want to speculate what this means?
