Been an age since I played Arena, hows Gauntlet coming along?
que up 😄
its coming along nicely
will have to download latest and give it a crack on the weekend
unfortunately I will probably suck, my TFT rankings have gone down the drain since I decided to only game for fun 😉... can't imagine my Gauntlet will be any better
probs do pretty well just with knowledge of all the illuvials
the game just crashed
can you login again?
Big updates coming early March
I am waiting for dis
5/8
casual is a blast 
3/8
anyone playing arena right now?
2/8
@warped ocean about to lose and make 3/8
7/8
nah
did you see my grilla 1 shot like 3 things after 2x survival protocal triggered?
300% damage lol
wish i was recording
yeah awesome bro
but anon is tilted
super tilted
how many times you beat him tonight
i couldnt get that screenshot because my game crashed
but it was like this
- Web3Gaming
- Me
- Anon
that was probs the biggest full earth team ive had and you were winning till i got lucky with the grill aug procs
Thats odd,i Dont see Rich on that list🤔
Thats actually crazy...such a cheap and efficent team.
yea kind of need the invokers for late game, lacks a lot of damage
wait why is there no drone augment for rogues xD?
whats this
patch
@announcements
Each Drone Augment has three power levels, meaning the same effect can appear in varying strengths.
While every player gets different Augments, all players receive the same choice of power level per round, ensuring fairness.
Power level distribution is random, meaning players might get three stage 3 Augments in one game and one stage 2 and two stage 1 augments in another game.
like it, we have RnG Gods still among us..but much less than before (maybe)
well okay thats fair then
Implementation difficulty. It will come in due time.
why don't we have unit specific augments
these are all just extremely boring and uninteresting no? 0 skill expression
is queing rank with new patch?
no it's old
live patch just removed overworld
🕵️
so are we gonna be stuck on semi-scouting or is full scouting gonna follow soon enough?
problem with this scouting - you don't see which units on bench.
and if 2 players build Blazenite, for example - you can't know how much he already have.
or you play earth - look on opponent units and noone have Aapon, but everyone have stage2 on bench
This are the least interesting ones. That's true. We started with those due to implementation simplicity, we will add more and more interesting ones with time.
oh ok if it's just for testing it's fine
are both affinities and classes synergies?
this on testnet?
oh didnt click second one
this UI will not be in the current testnet version yet I believe
this is awesome
ye these are the kind of cool augments
I just wrote a thread about the upcoming arguments and what I think needs to be improved upon if anyone wants to read. #1345018660535799859 message
@dark scaffold Hi. Is it already known when the new content from the announcement will appear in the testnet version of the game?
not officially
but I would start preparing Internet connections already
make sure full speed is ready ^^
Do you mean the next few hours?
i mean its not shared officially when 😛
I tried to get permission, but request denied 
me too, I want play with you guys as well 
How do y'all feel about hyper? Sad to see it go the way it is now...super simplified. was it too complex? boosting the zone to 150? that was a key feature that made us unique.
to me it seemed useless as fuck in gauntlet, on current patch like 3 comps are getting countered by the supposed hyper counter
Early game it was the key to winning various match ups knowing how to counter hyopers and use the correct units.
Late game it fades away as it should or else vertical comps become to rock paper scissors
No I would hold several attipos or dokas of different types to counter the opponents. Was often able to make it healthy late game just by utilizing various tier zero comps. and have 100plus gold easy in the late game with health(I personally struggle at the late game with the time) But that was a key skill ceiling that is now gone. positioning mattered also. With 150 hex radius its just cumulative team affinity...
I agree, new hyper is lame compare to what we had
We just keep moving away from what made this game unique(in regards to hyper). I don't think you were here @sinful hornet when we had composite hyper with even smaller radius. That was one of the coolest systems in illuvium in my opinion and what made the survival mode so fun
LOve this new hover scout method! That is sick
Does tft even have that. Potentially better than going to their board
the idea of hard counters in an autobattler is fundamentally broken too if hyper even worked how it was supposed to
need to see bench units.
You can always swap out units to counter the opponents giving more player agency and the need to strategize for end game.
Ya that is key also plus I wonder if the augments will show
tft didn't need to add that hover thing because u can just watch any board u want in real time
Wait this hosting tournament lobby thing. Can the host spectate? Otherwise whats the point lol
Yeah bring back the small Hyper Radius. I just want my water Illuvial to hit a fire Illuvial and get a buff. Like in Pokemon and basically every single game with affinities...
Ya but in terms of processing it may be easier to get a snapshot with that hover than the full screen refreshing you looking for the units. Like we know how fast challenger players cycle pretty quick in tft with hotkeys. But players at lower ranks could use that information well as a build up
I was wondering the same. It does add the ability for leviathan private lobbies which are not a thing right now
but the point of scouting is to count units in the pool and position, this just accomplishes half of 1st thing
ya and that is the first step for beginner players.
Very true
I imagine silver and gold players may just use hover at first to understand what is contested and what is free. Then as they climb they start to understand how to quickly count
i don't think silver and gold players think about contested units
Its a good interim feature. And a feature that will be welcome even with scouting
Scouting takes so long in tft
cause it has that dumb ass teleport animation
it's way faster to run through all 8 boards than it is to click on profile pictures
not to say i'd rather have nothing than have mini scouting but the main reason for it is just the live positioning
Are these updates live yet?
Lol what.
it takes 5 seconds to see all boards
Yes, hyper with smaller radius was perfect, now radius is all over the board so positionning does not mather
wow 4 wildfire is unbeatable
This is all it takes 
personally i think the game was well balanced this recent patch, the only thing needed to be nerfed was the rhamphyre line imo
ıt was one of the biggest elements of making the matches more competitive. great step congrats!
lol ya does wildfire even do damage with that much grit and resolve
problem is mud, not earth
does Dualephs special attack scale with omega power?
well the DOT ticks won't do a lot of a lot more damage over 70 damage as the resolve stops all damage. no damage no vamp the mud is a bonus
just say my expirience. i win with wildfire against 7-9 earth. but i lose against 2-4 mud
i even win against earth+2 aug for -30% dmg. Patate play vs me with this build
Ya I mean the mud helps right because it steals the energy so they don't cast and you slow their attact speed so blotto basically never casts. But the other 3 are usually prtty safe untill grills cast
Obvious you would know better in this case
it's slow cast not only enemy they attack
had the new features came out on gauntlet yet?
or will it happen over the next few days
how we make a stage two in gauntlet ?
3 stage 1
so is the bug where u can't click/hover weapons/armors on the ranger if she's on the edge of the board known?
Yeah wildfire usually win but 3 inferno 😅 my board melted in under 15 seconds
Ok I think I know how mistakenlt made one lol
@worn tree is it intended that midair rhamphy gets stunned by aapon?
No, right before yes, but not midair.
unless there's synchron issues for me it gets stunned midair consistently
also targeted by autoattacks midair
This is intended, if we're talking about ranged units. Melee units can also do this, but only if they attack right at the start of the omega.
You get 3 throughout the game.
For everyone who will be testing the Testnet version of Arena, here are the bugs that you can experience currently:
Known bugs (do not report those) 
Gauntlet:
- (FIXED) The user will lose the ability to move Illuvials if they open settings during battle (workaround: interact with the store, buy an Illuvial, or refresh the store). Do not mess with the menu while in a match.
- In some cases, the Affinity/Class UI is empty (the one on the left).
- No PFPs in the summary screen.
- Illuvials facing the player on the bench – not a bug.
- Fusion VFX stays on the board/bench after fusing an Illuvial.
- Reconnect NOT AVAILABLE on testnet yet.
- Drone/Suit skins may not be applied while in a match.
- Surrendering in multiplayer should bring up the end screen instead of returning to the main menu.
- Emote shortcut not working – rebind it in the input settings (or click with the left mouse button).
- Weapon & Suit Shop cards are not greyed out when the player does not have enough credits.
- Drone Augments UI – placeholders.
- Lynx/T0 indicator shows fewer T0s than intended.
I wonder if the "units gain shield on dodge" drone augment works
I had 1 giving +40 and the other giving +120 per dodge so I should get +160 per dodge but I didn't have the impression that I was getting much shield
more than an hour in line
Hey can I get a code for the testnet ?
Is it safe? I don't wanna click on random link unless it's from a mod...

Yes redeem code on epic games
what do i do after i redeem code?
i couldn't find it anywhere to down the testnet version
Hey guys.. Why am i not on the leaderboard.. I won like three games yday. I should have over 16 points
Hello.
nickname ingame?
wasaraza
ok I see...you won some but you lose some, right?
Yes
that s why
So how is the points calculated now?
Ohh thank you.. I was not aware of the changes.
Test net 6/8
hey how do you download testnet client from epic game?
i redeem the code already
@frank nimbus the code adds a link for a launch in library ?
no..?
5/8
7/8
Not a single crash on testnet for me so far!
Anyone else?
I wonder when nolonger an nft some web2 dude gonna pay me a gazzillion for it 😉
at least I grinded for it 😉
this is what i love to hear!!
Im personally a massive fan of nature units slowing down attacks to once per five minutes
Actually maybe lets make it per 10 mins
the sepolia build ia truly a blast, the only issue we faced last night was one time wen we were just entering the match from the lobby...we just be kicked back to main screen..no crash tho..only that strange thing happened once
does sepolia have multiplayer servers now or?
7/8 go ranked
yes @sinful hornet
and you will love the smoothness of all the movements and the snappy augs on the board, the opponent positioning his units in realtime.
wait u can see opponent board real time?
if it's not real time it trolls u more if it's just random 
for sure he see mine and change position...
hahahah
the entire experience is at another level imho
Yes, you can see what the opponent does. You can see when they move a unit, swap a unit, equip augments, etc.
well that solves scouting 80% then
and on the sideboard you see oppo composition, affinities etc
is it instant tho? like as soon as i make the click?
seems so
ok can't wait for it to go live then
This basically means that someone didn’t connect in 60 seconds. We’re gonna work on proper UIs on all the failure paths
should be no impact on ranks etc
someone down for a rankedrino on testnet?
Joining
started a casual now cause nobody was joining ^^
oh you want to back out and do a casual together
Otherwise I'll do the same
can do
u rdy?
yeah haha
My comp is just stupid lol There is no chance
ok your team is pretty stupid also lolol
Still had 90 mp left also:
Just silly augments though
I'm sure you read but the 120% grit to resistance 👀 Ok make that pure earth team even more disgusting
Again?
yeah the problem was also my team need to stay togheter i couldnt swap positioning that easy
how are the bots?
Ya and watching you start moving was funny.
A joke
@uncut comet do you want to play? I am in with only bots
ready
You guys playing casual or ranked? I'll jump on and play
On it
We are in the middle of a game though Maybe start one while you wait
Alright I submit, im now just going to put two green augments on a krunk and cheat my way to victory
We have enough for ranked testnet join us!
it's again random gold for pve round?
previous game i have 19, next i got 26 after round 2
its just frustrating when the game just freezes out of nowhere and it still freezes after reconnecting
It is very frustrating indeed. The current implementation of multiplayer servers on the testnet build should fix this type of stuff 🙏
has it been seamless so far on testnet?
@viral marsh who won:
does the multiplayer server has in-game pause? coz we should be able to pause to wait someone who disconnected
hahaha i just found out that i placed 8 in a game without knowing i entered one. since i cannot connect/reconnect. i just found out in my rank score
We're gonna fix the remaining issues with reconnect before mainnet dw 🙂
This on testnet? Any more details you can provide?
Well done guys what are you did it ! ( keep going ) 💪
Illuvium 🚀
The finish line is in sight, Rangers. Push hard in these final hours. Victory awaits.
give us a midday update
Did aaron get overruled on the no levels for leviathan thing or how did we end up having those in the game anyway?
I figure they might be testing different options and start with the smallest change
Can we have an update on the current score?
no..slickz has 139 points
so names flipped on day 2?
no
ah, you didn read then
what
you lose point if finish 5th 6th 7th 8th
are you trolling or serious?
he tell it yestarday
im killing myself
strange that without anounce or something to pay attention to everyone participant.
strange that this changes at 2nd day, not at 1st of 2nd session.
but it's his event and he even can remove all your points
not even a ping is crazy ngl
coz you abuse system - "Anon"
ok so can u tell me if it's live live or i just lost another 8 points just now?
live live?
126 right now
ok
40 matches played
@viral marsh check you calendar, I posted 2/27/2025 yesterday was 2/28/2025
20 hours after 1st day start
as soon as we recognized was needed
it's fine if we at least got some everyone tag or something this is kinda bm but at least it's only 60$
dothen mater for me. just tell that changes was made not from start
I tried to tag everyone once and got silenced for 7 days
unlucky hype bullshit or w/e happened i guess
you know leaderboard. you can tag first 5-10
no
ahahahah
too weird ppl win 10 matches over 14 and finish last in the remaining 4
what do you think @zenith mortar ?
he even blamed me, Although i leave 0 matches at 1st session
4 on 14 is way too high %
i mean i think this should've been the format from the start
but it's stupid that i didn't know
can you explain. i don't understand
well ye no shit i just ff unwinable games that was the point
4 surrender over 14 matches is not fair game tho..but now the system seems to work better
i had 3 games where i didn't receive gold so i just surrender
no i did
@spring basin was right..even FF-Advantage was...🤣 (FF stands for Forfeit Advantage) jfyi
i mean yea i told u from before we even started
FF-advantage leave from 1st game at 1st session, when see me in game 🙂
so, i don't understand, do you tell i'm also abuse something or not? @twilit storm
no
seems not enuff to reach any advantage
the match history says you played it right
can we have a match limit first 5-10 games leaderboard nxt
consistency event 
then you just make infinite smurfs with vpn
you can't play more that 20 games/day with current wait time for game
smurfs can be monitored with match history less 20/10 arent qualified , maybe?
20games / day is crazy for me cant really do it
New leaderboard coming next week, we will make the announcements tomorrow
You guys will love it ⚔️
make it testnet?
Doesnt seem possible, i asked
Wouldve been fun though to incentivize testing the new build
Yeah there will be different LB for everybody, ladders doesn t conflict each other like tournaments..you can play and just rank up in any of them.
and it will decrese waiting time of ranked lobbies even more
previous time new build come from testnet in main like in 3-5 days, so i think we will see new build very soon
i hope so this is already too much time on this mediocre patch
new build is sick
- wut
you think it's abuse, but look on it from other side.
you can get unlucky and got in lobby with 5 strongest player.
and other game at around same time will be 1 strong player and 7 new player.
which game will be more easy to get 1st place?
and if you not break timings - you will play whole day against players you start with.
Did you crashed or find game breaking things on testnet @viral marsh ?
i mean it is abuse, but i told u from the start it's exactly what was gonna be the optimal thing to do
no, but some things not work in testnet
agree
with this "new" builds we walk around with "meta comps".
we will come back to rog/fighter builds in this patch instead of earth/fire etc
I think we are only half way tho
weapons and bonding mechanics will open up a very wiide range of comps
how are 5 psions?
not test full psions, but this dron-aug system probably not let psions find place in this meta
alphie phyri still put in any comp tho?
not sure things which work now, will work
but alphie seems become stronger choice that any other psion.
7/8
why is player dmg tied to levels instead of game time btw? it's kinda dumb u can lose the same way on round 1 but take more or less dmg just because someone went 5 or stayed 3
Gm
Like?
what’s not possible on testnet
need play more to understand.
don't like that it's again random gold for wave 1-2. 1 game i got 19, other i got 26. or it's bug?
don't like that dron augments full random. 1 game you can get 3 tier-1 augment, other tier-2 and 2 tier-3. probably get stage-1 aug round-5, then stage-2 and then stage-3 will be more fair.
also i think this dron aug will be like: you choice stage-1 at round-5, and then upgraid. coz - you choice aug for earth round-5, play earth, and then got choice from augs for fire,nature, for example
imo it's fine to be full random so long as it's same tier for everyone
makes for more variance
gold not being the same if it's true is really shit tho, in tft it's fine because you get the same in terms of value with the items but here it's literally just math
Thanks! 🙏 What are the scores now? 👀
im at ur score in the screenshot so u probably won there's not enough time left
You have to get into the same game to have a chance
I'm queuing now if you want to make it exciting 👀
nah the patch is too shit it's more likely u get griefed and eat a 5th
Most rules for Drone Augments are not implemented, yet. The only rules added now are that you cannot receive the same stage of a Drone Augment more than once and during a phase, they are all the same stage.
There will be plenty of rules and drone augments coming.
As for the credits, it's probably a bug. It should be the same value every match for everyone.
are you down to ask for leaderboards in 2 hours and then we can just stop wasting our time if it's not doable?
Yeah, I'm definitely down for that, but all top 4 have to be okay with it, and then also Quants.
i mean web3's not playing
and top 2 is locked
also we only need to see top 2 anyways
If I win my next game it's probably locked. Not sure ff anon and furzy play tho
anon's playing he's in my past 3 games
Yeah I’m hesitant to even place any judgement on drone augment considering we only have 15 to judge from currently
To track tesnetnet games like we track them on mainnet with current API
Is it possible?
Really hope we can get the option to have the Illuvials face the other way aswell
It’s possible from what I was told
idk i like looking at my illuvials asses
Whoa
(non sexual way) just to see if they're fit u know
fat ass rhamphyre needs a diet
on testnet they look on you from bench
Oh ok, interesting
Is the new patch gonna last long on testnet only though? Most recent times it was just couple days
Don’t know how long yet
We haven’t put a time/date on it
We need to make sure fuel is good
Most importantly
@spring basin you can stop this event has been complete cancer i stop playing
it's same how you go sleep 2 days ago?)
no
Oh didn't see this so I'm in a new game^^
So new testnet sepolia version of arena, means that there are already multiplayer servers?
Illuvivault and Illuvidata both have access to the match data and the tournament apis. I believe this functionality is being built out by them for the community. that’s on testnet too
the system's fine the patch is atrocious
@wide aspen Whats the difference between "team" and "allies" for drone augments they seem like the same thing but obviously they are probably different
@twilit storm Can you post current score?
i'm actually not trolling like u can actually stop
bad beyond
snapshot in less than 2 hours, already posted the partial few hours ago
@spring basin
just spam earth/mud instead of WF
Froudo play 2 day only with this build
@sinful hornet 24 points between you and @spring basin
earth is terrible without lynx and 4 way contested with lynx, that's what caused like 5 ffs
depend how you play earth
it doesn't win without lynx unless its uncontested
and i got hard contested at start, can't get my stage 3 mud
Delete this
in my lobbies every early game has 4 earths so i just never take the coinflip for free 8th
Ok thanks 🙏
in my games it's every time only 1 go earth, and got fast 3-4 mud. and then chill on winstreak with tier-1 units, like before when rog-mystic was meta
for me fires always uncontested but then my rhamphyre gets stunned everytime
this mud win even water. only 1 build i meet which can kill it easy, but mostly noone build it.
4 wf still beats it with positioning, and 7 nature heals more than it deals dmg
inferno also can beat it
3 wf doing 0 dmg
3 wf needs Attack speed ramp items and the energy resist+hp regen on blotto
if it's good buildet earth, with augs needed, with 3-4 mud. it's win.
and if earth can't win > just add dualeph and kill this corner
the time of grinders is over?
I quit the game at 00:00, I don't know if I count the points but I tried lol
The game ended 00:00:50 🤣
Did you get this score at 19 or now?
at 00:59 UTC by the rules
Too bad there wasn't enough time to play the last game, I still had to pay to earn some points before closing
The Gauntlet Infinite Grind never stops.
A new week of battles begins Monday at 00:00 UTC.
nice
Let`s goo
this starts in 24 hours right?
Is this mainnet or testnet
we do not have enuff players on sepolia
Should turn mainnet off and move everyone to testnet for a bit, playerbase to small to have it split up
The new build is fantastic overall. Just a few minor tweaks needed on the testnet, particularly with some overpowered drone augments. Very impressed so far.
Overpowered drone augments lol
Sound like anon
It’s bugged
It’s bugged
lol
no not bugged but a bit OP
lol I know
Shhhh
You tell me
I got second today
Not because of drone augments
Because I was cheated out of first
They abused augments
if you by any chance get Lightning speed and Battle Momentum on a berz/behe/fighter team...
Yeah maybe
How to change lynx?? Is it random?
you can see which is available (different every game), hover over a tooltip just above your illuvial shop
it will show you which T0s are available too
I mean lynx stage 2 to 3 is like always empath
4 wildfire will lose to 4 mud i see
it changes equally between them all, probs just unlucky
thankyou
hey rich. May I get another testnet code. last one didnt work for some reason
YU9X4-7WVYA-V8AHB-G3SGQ
library?
where to see updated leaderboard?
The 30% attack and movement speed augment is very broken lol
Maybe not broken maybe intended to introduce rng or as some people call it player agency.
Its a auto win if you have it and the other person doesnt
with -points for bot 4 yea?
me
wait a moment
ok i m ready 😄
let`s go
how do i play on testnet?
you have the code from Rich
rng and player agency are not from the same mother 🙂
player agency is skill, rng is luck
6/8 casual test net
it's strong. but it's not insta win.
i got Lightning speed and Battle Momentum stage 1 yestarday, got verdant aug as well.
My team was: 4 verdant, 2 Colossus (1 titanor) 5 fighter(2 berserk). and with all this i lose to hybrid build with snake from Caveman
can i get a code
Would be @zenith mortar or maybe @dark scaffold ?
ah..here we need to add @lean ivy personal skill to the equation. And the God Snake that can chew your team like a tasty Denver sandwich ( I heard that @zenith mortar found the best burgers there. 😂 )
btw stage 1 is still ok..stage 3 is crazy, Fox.
Did it seem to me or was my personal skill just underestimated?
yes, i know. it's not only this aug so strong, some other as well
but every game you get random stages of aug. at 1 you can get x3 stage 3, at other x3 stage1. at lest it's same for everyone in lobby
cannot reconnect again
on testnet?
on main
Hai
Played 7 games on test net now, and so far there has not been any crashes or any Issues with the game, everything seems to run more smooth and is more "responsive", like when you move units & refresh, etc. so I think it's looking very promising. There are still a few bugs, and obviously still need to add some of the planned stuff and make balances.
Not sure if I like the Illuvials is facing away from the board, it feels a bit weird, but maybe its just because we are used to them facing the other way and ready to jump in and fight 😁
But I think it's a big step in the right direction, and am looking forward to start playing some more Arena/Gauntlet. 
SX6C7E
Casual testnet 4/8 start in couple minutes
Heyo
Thanks for feedback, but you better to duplicate it as feedback ingame with "b" button, team will be grateful 
I hope Illuvials stand with their backs to the board so that in the future they add a backflip function when placing them on the board 😄
Sure, also send feedback and bug findings in game 😁

hello, does anyone know where I can select my own team? I created one but I can't find in the game how to select it. I bought 5 stage 1 to test the game mechanism
Is there a minimum number of creatures required for each stage? 😅
there's not really any game to play owned illuvials right now
what's the point of creating a team and buying creatures if I can't use them in Arena?😅 I have to create a team with creatures I don't own, directly in the game?
you don't have to create a team, only the autobattler is basically a thing right now, and just the f2p version

Thanks !! I'll check 🙌
and if you have any question pleasure to help just DM 😄
Big thing on testnet, you can't change keybinds for buying xp or refreshing, hopefully we don't have a live ship that just downgrades what we already have
are two grinds differents right?
Would it not make sense to take either the first 20 games average or the full average depending on which one's higher to not deincentivize people from playing on a good 20 run?
I just need to play ranked for both?
yea you compete in both just playing ranked
Thats a good point Hollow. This wouldnt be easy to implement and certainly not feasible for this upcoming event so we will stick to allowing 1 alt account for the ones who play a ton and want to have another chance. Once you have a 2nd account thats eligible you can play infinitely on the lowest of the 2 without risking your top score
Yes they are different events
You can participate to both at the same time by simply playing ranked gauntlet
but why have a smurf limit actually? if only 1 gets the prize anyways, with current playerbase would be easy to tell that someone's a smurf
We decided to allow 1 just so people arent incentivized to stop at 20 if they feel they ran good so far
With 1 alt you can already play infinitely, so more than 1 would just incentivize the big grinders to spam 20s and hope to be lucky in that shortest sample. Its not what we are trying to achieve by allowing alts and at some point it doesnt feel good to play vs hollow 7
i guess it doesn't matter anyway when you need to play on the same account all day for the other event
ok so are 3 augments all you get or is there a 4th late in the game?
Yea if you are 1 of the 4 top grinders you are incentivized to play the other event anyway
So is the scoring the same for both grinds or what guys?
it's 2 different event. but when you play 1 game - you get score for both separetly
No not at all, the first 5 days event, gauntlet grinders, is accumulative, so the more you play the better
And the week long event, Gauntlet Hyperion Leaderboard, is based on avg points. Anyone who plays the minimum of 20 games have the same chance and the top 10 best avg scores will share the 1000$ prize
oh wait it's 5 days now
5 days of no shower for you it seems
not sure, basically half the money now so just play less
So whats the scoring for 5 day one?
Accumulative, so the more you play the better
Ill try to share the rules but might get blocked by bot 1s
Yes i got that... I mean the points for placements per match
1st event: you should be able to find it there #🎨〕community-content message
2nd event: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1elfuOx40y6pt1RNy3mpsqc7Qj2ufEsbsKO9SZxlp3j4/edit?usp=drivesdk
Thanks broski
uhm..it s 6 day ladder splitted in two mini season
the ladder reset every 72 hour

points system based
i might be a word i can't say here or i get timed out
snaphot at the end of each season
it's the same format 3 days 3 days yea?
ofc
yea nvm then better shower today
does syndicate have a discord where u do announcements if they need to be done?
Will there ever be a game launcher that includes all tournaments information and provides desktop and mobile notifications? Keeping up with everything on Discord and other social networks is difficult.

@valid stirrup so there are two concurrent week tournaments? And basically it's the same format, only number of reward placement is different
it is about the point different aswell so you can get more info
on the web what you have them there
Ok, I will
that it will help you to understand better 😄
Any other guild planning on doing a 1-day tournament again? @vivid stirrup
Weekly tournaments are not for me 😢
I know some of y'all are killing it in the Daydreamers tournament. Will probably watch that and play Testnet. Anyone want to play also?
Any testnet lobby?
7/8
Regarding the Hype tournament, if I play only 20 games and have a good average of victories and stop, would a guy who plays about 100 games and had a reasonable average of games be behind this 20-game tournament? Or are these 20 games just a minimum requirement for a player to qualify.
The 20 games is the minimum requirement, but ultimately only the average matters
Everyone have the same chance here (everyone who will play 20 games or more)
Just an example, if I play these 20 games and win 20 in 1st place and stop. And another person who plays 100 games but in these 100 games got 2nd place in all of them, in this sense, who would be ranked higher?
If I add up the points, if I only play 20 games I get 160 points, or if I play 100 games I get 700 points, in that sense who would win in the end?
I asked this question before @turbid osprey . Even the wording was almost the same.
The winner will be the one who finished first twenty times in a row.
Here, quality matters, not quantity. Initially, I also thought it worked the same way as @twilit storm system.
@ember sail , like Winnie says, the guy with the first place will win
The average score is whats being counted
I now understand the issue of alts, it didn't work with one, it went to another, anyway it's a bit confusing how the sum of this average will be in the end, but that's okay
The points from all your games are added up and then divided by the number of games. This gives the average score. The player with the highest number wins.
Yes
I don't know if this would be the best plan, in my opinion it would be cool if it was just the points sum system. But since there's another grinder going on too, it's good to test different formats too.
I say this also because I was one of those who played the most in this last grind and I never got into the top 4, in other words my average was bad, but I managed to add some good points through persistence.
I prefer average tbh, this way you're compensating best players (or luckiest ones 🤣 )
If you look at the winners from the last table, the first place also had the best average, 5.0
5.5
@violet summit and all the ties breakers are the ones with the best APG
i prefer veil over pork..but i can eat both and have a good dinner. just saying eh.
I'm saying average because I can't put more than 3 games a day, and most times not even 2
This would be the best format for me, not for everyone though
It's great that there are multiple formats being offered to everyone, we just need to pick the ones that fit our needs 😎
7/8
You literally don t even need to pick..anything, just play ranked how you like and when you like. @violet summit
Yes, you guys are making it very easy for everyone by removing all the extra work we used to have such as putting screeshots
Thank you for that!
you guys you mean you Quants and @warped ocean , right? lol jk. Anon was only s*** talking that night 😂
Trying to play rankeds
I went to play on the alt account to play the Hyperion camp, but I decided to play on my main account but I hadn't seen that the alt account was in the queue, when I saw that this problem occurred I automatically quit the match so I wouldn't play it if you can send me the print at the end of the game.
I don't need to play on two accounts to win, that's the problem
No worries, you forfeited on one of the two so its all good
yeah dont alt F4 without leave queue, it made u stuck in queue
Thanks for the ping @arctic turtle
can vouch that exiting game before leaving que keeps you in que afk lol
yeah nasty
i ended up forgetting to close the ranked queue on alt
happens
6/8
7/8
come on people we just need one more
this queue of almost 1 hour,
6/8 we stay strong
I am going to sleep
7/8
sometimes even if u exit queue you still end up in a game btw
They said it is a problem when you exit quene when you alt f4
You remain in the game
yea but i mean when u press back in the queue it sometimes still doesn't work
damn the queues are dead
@worn tree - we should take a look at fixing this please 🙂
again just to make sure it's known: even clicking this button and then leaving the game sometime still puts u in the game
delay
I'm not sure if this is correct, but if it was just the sum of points there could be more people playing, since in theory you only need 20 games to qualify.
Even if the minimum is 20 games people can still continue to improve their scores or even try on another account if they wish to
Cummulative only incentivize those who are good+can spend 10+ hours a day playing
With this format we tried to incentivize all sorts of players to participate and believe that it will result in more overall games played
Theres also the syndicate event running with cummulative points so if you feel you are good and can spend 10+ hours a day grinding you can always aim to place in this one
You're right, it really allows more players to participate, but at the same time it leaves room for them to want to play only on the last day too, which can make the lobby a little slower.
Oh I forgot bro, in the end I just have to thank you for this tournament.
Why would people want to play their 20 games on the last day?
Ahah no dont worry, i appreciate the concern and feedback 
If you take 1st place in 20/20 games, then yes, there is no point in continuing, since it is impossible to get more.
I didn't participate in previous events, precisely because the number of games was decisive there. And I don't have the opportunity to play 24/7. In this event, the rules are much better. 20 games to play is enough (as long as the result of each game is not bad).
Although I'm not a particularly strong player, I'm unlikely to even try for top 1, but otherwise this event is good.
Because it is a longer tournament of a week, it gives you more freedom to play whenever and wherever you want, so if the best players want to play only at the end, they can do so too. Which would leave fewer people in line.
20 games is very hard to fit in a day
even 2 days can be hard
but i get your point
yeah
Please report the bug in game
Why do I hesitate in the last round if I take 40 energy behind 1 rhamphy and 1 pyrion and none come, what a steal man
whats
teeeeestnet tiiiiiime
kkkk
One more!
@static crane This is a brutal game. I know exactly what you felt in those moments. I was shaking.
Test net bb!
gg
i was 2 golds away for Dualeph and 3 steam, guess should win, but upgrade Stabbin', i think i fucked up
next roll after upgrade and when round start i got this last Alphie, but was too late :<
GG @valid stirrup 
😄
i've been away from this game since pre-alpha. is there anywhere that tells me how to play? I had a quick game yesterday and got smashed, had no idea what I was doing
There is some great stuff in #🎨〕community-content and @valid stirrup is always posting guides and player training as well as some of the guilds host training things like @vivid stirrup and Phantom
thanks. so no in game training atm?
@dreamy marsh hi Man
let me help you
what do you like to know about the game
you can jump in gauntled lobby and see people playing
we cand have a nice chat about the game
i will be your AI trainer 😄
thanks. I appreciate it
i hope i was helpful 😄
@zenith mortar - seems @west plume is getting better... only two units for 2nd!! 😮
Lars actively exploiting the game… BAN
Sold all my units to see the if that helped for the last round, couldn't place any units, and if I tried the enemy team disappeared..
It started when my ranger disappeard, I changed from 25% health Suit to a 50% omega suit and I noticed half the health disappeared and after that shit got weird
Could also be because the game haddent seen such an awesome Meta build before and completely broke down because of the awesomeness.
Idk
Hai
Broken by high score
very common
Yeah @west plume , very suspicious man... 😉🤣
Thank you Rich
6/8 ranked
i have to stop play at main account soon (3-4 more games, i guess), and after start play at my other account.
is it possible count my total points for Gauntlet infinity grind - points from account1+account2? @twilit storm
?
our event count only the frst 20
we don t sum points from different accounts
we will count points per player as we did last week, fetching from match history
yes, i know. but now it's 2 events at same time.
i'l stop play 1 account, start play other, and i'm sure, both will be in top-20.
it's same - points per player.
if no - that rules will work for any who ask same? so - noone can change account at middle?
we will only count first 4 for the rewards, and no we will not sum points from account 1+account 2 and yes same rule for everybody.

is it possible to play Ranked on Sepolia ?
ye but can be a pain to fill up if not synced in voice or with codes
Dude, what's the possibility of changing this points system to be the same as Hyper? I'm tired of playing and finishing in 4th place and only earning 1 point.
if you need to test for feedback you can play casual and start to see all the new cool stuff
@languid sparrow
Yah I understand the pain, finish first and you will feel the joy 😉
Out of 14 games I played about 7 times in 4, wow it takes 7 hours of gaming to get 7 points, that's frustrating, if you look at my score in the 2 tables, in one I have more than 100 points in the other only 36
If you want the winners to always be the same, continue, because nothing will change regardless of how much I play the others.

jeeezis 3 DCs in 1 game 
you were right lol
you won that lobby?
yes
🔥
As you set up nature together with the web, his team is not that strong.
I didn't think I would take it either, until I survived until the end
gg
When people divide their decks, stage 3 is always a bit divided, so if there's a class that no one has competed against, it's easier to put together a complete team.
@ember sail see? now you are feeling the joy. 🏆
Typo I’m not in there
It's true, it's a shame that joy is fleeting, if I stay in 1st place about 3 times a day it's a lot, now I stay in the top 4 almost every game but unfortunately I only get 1 point which doesn't help much in the competition
isnt using the other point system kind of the same diference in 4th vs top 3 anyway?
I wanted it to be at least 8 points 6 points 4 points and 2 points, it would already be much better
I'm not sure what you want to say web
just not sure how this is different to 4, 3, 2, 1
If you see the guy who comes in 3rd place in a match gets 2 points, lol, it seems very illogical to me.
Whoever is in a lower position gets more points than in the current system,
I had already given this suggestion back then, but they didn't pay much attention, 1st place 8 points, 2nd place 6 points, 3rd place 4 points and 4th place 2 points
There really is almost no difference, but at least there is not such an absurd difference between 1st and 4th place.
how many points for 1st place currently?
oh its 8 isnt it
ok yea sorry in my head it was 4
quiet
5/8 Ranked mainnet
I'm feeling sleepy here,
Do these stack on top of each other if I have both of them?
mmmhmmmhmmm
nice )
Luck
cheats 🤣
stop wasting teams time making them photoshop
Hacks... no way you won with 7 illuvials
man i think should be here. i won a game last night
can u pls verify
i have 9 points in quants leaderboard
u are at 8th place in lb
okay thanks
The game starts. I’m automatically given what is supposedly 2nd place (it’s not) and then kicked out of the game. It’s driving me crazy.
@turbid osprey Hi. I’d like to ask, since you have access to the match history, how did the system perceive this game? Is it 8th place or 2nd place?
you were 8th in this game i think 😦 like a surrender
I mean when he clearly has proof with the screenshot can both organizer not remove that game from counting? otherwise that's really bs
Didnt even get 4 bloom. Rookies
makes sense to me
i just know if it happened to me and wasn't removed i'd have to use the money on a new keyboard
was there a 7/8 queue or u just didnt queue again?
Is it average of all the games or your best 20 games?
Did you get in a game?
All games
Yea I had 2/8
Hmm oke
are these not my scores?
none, except if u're completely uncontested then all except water
the game is literally 4 units find it and that's ur game
Water is good or bad? I'm confused
If you know lobby is earth and fire it’s quite good, but still need to hit steam late game to win
But it’s really steam team
in a lobby of 7 earths and 1 water some earth guy i think is more favored to win the whole lobby still than the water guy
Did they already implement scouting? Sorry I haven't played in a while
not on live, on testnet there's semi scouting
Aight
But the tournament is for live server I guess
I might play some tomorrow and give you easy placements
i should have 137 points not 134 unless i fucked up the tracking
and i should have 85 in quants one, somewhere something's fucked cuz even if i turned a 2nd into a 1st or something it still doesn't give the same amount of points as in the pictures
if i change a 2nd to a 3rd it makes both tables balance so that was probably it
4th is not such a good score eh..I just dodged 5th...and the negative score...
ELI5 why semi?
we see litterally the opponent moves in realtime
Ah yeah I got it
we can not see everyone
just the one we are battling
true true
2x tier4 units still possible? o_O Or its just a bug
sorry..still not completely awake ahh
yeah...you right
@noble hinge ? they are same one but different tiers
and I don t think you can have the same drone aug twice, bigger replace and upgrade the smaller (could be wrong)
@worn tree ?
what the deal here
Atm you can have same drone augment twice, and the effects stack.
We will introduce rules for these, and as the pool expands with improved drone augments, the likelihood of duplicates will naturally decrease. Eventually, we will eliminate the possibility of duplicate drone augments entirely.
ah I forgot Nil was an huge fan of duplicates augs..my bad.
are there plans to tie illuvials power level more into traits? it's kinda really stupid when a whole lobby is just slotting synalph phyriox into every comp with 0 synergy
Is there a plan to have the option to turn the Illuvials to face towards the board?
Not atm, maybe in the future.
First thing we would do is adjust those 2 powerhouses.
There are still a lot of incoming changes that will affect the gameplay. So until we are settled we won't explore further mechanics.
but the units themselves are not a problem
the problem is being able to play rogues+stack punishers in the same teams for no cost
you nerf phyri synalph you just replace them with fernite and probably rhamphy octious
like the big problem here is every team contesting same unit pool every game and makes the game feel atrocious to play, not that they're too strong
you mean main net @sinful hornet , right?
yea
agreee
Are you Toxic2811? you were 8th place in the screenshot
The current system i have access to updates every 12h so ill be able to check if those game count in about 2h
Ill let you know
Yea for sure, ill confirm in 2h if those type of game count and if they do ill remove them from the scores
this is the same thing in tft. and honestly not really finding this as issue currently
There are multiple causes leading to this outcome.
It's pretty much something you can never perfectly mitigate, but we know that it is happening in a too clear fashion atm. We have some changes that should help increase the late game carry pool.
mud units, octius, synalph, scoriox, rhamphyre. All very good. Some times even ryplance
but the shit thing with this happening now is that we basically had perfect balance of this not happening around 3 months before
We want Bulwarks and Empaths to become standalone powerhouses, so that you don't always rely on a fighter, psion or rogue to win a game.
like the amount of reward u get for just rolling random 3 stars and putting them togheter is too much
Those score add up to 137 but the API had you on 134
Your #5 was 3rd place not 1st
could just be that then, they add up on both ladders so it had to be my mistake
@frozen tartan it s easy to remove from the calc, question is: is it an onetime kind of bug? if we remove this and others have the same issue but didn t know that screenshot could solve it, what should be done? manual checking all the history? give credit to anyone who will encounter the same issue? it s surely an issue that has to be solved but we need a proper "to do" rule in case this happens frequently.
remove them with proof, don't remove without
seems logic ye
feels very rare if that helps. 2nd or 3rd time ive seen it
@frozen tartan found that match. The history match has this recorded:
The game "perceived" you finished in 8th place. As it should be, screenshot is misleading.
@twilit storm Hello. Since you and @turbid osprey are the organizers of your tournaments, only you can make the final decision.
Personally, this is the first time I've encountered this situation. But I've heard from others that they have encountered it occasionally as well.
This is a rare occurrence. 2-3 crashes/freezes/disconnects in a game are normal, I'm used to it.
But this kind of issue was honestly disappointing.
if all the players were kicked out you mean, ye?
coz if it was only you, i can t do much
I will remove it, dont worry Winnie
You have a proof and its a known rare bug that has nothing to do with you
@bronze spire you were in that game, did it kicks you out too?
If it affects one player only I will not remove the match for the calc sorry. What about the other 7 who played the match?
@twilit storm If I understood correctly, I was the only one kicked out in that game.
@turbid osprey Thank you very much for your understanding. I hope such bugs won’t occur again.
We’re waiting for the updated servers. I hope they will bring stability.
what do you mean? just remove HIM from that game and leave the points for others?
Manually adjust his score, dont need to cancel the match
ah okok if so ye np
Nah I remember he was the only one. -99 from round 1
when i have same problem - noone care
what yesterday?
yestarday i have 1 game, which not let me play. i try reconnect after every round before round 12. and only after game start work and i can play
and with this DC thing it was at previous week, when game drop me at round 1. and i was counted like i finish 8
but it's me, and it's other guy. to 1 can made except, to other - no
that s the problem imho, we should count as a disconnect /crash and treat all the same way. sucks for the player yes. But can happen.
just consider it a unlucky shot but it s the game that has this issues, once (very very soon) we play on multiplayer servers this should be mitigated even more.
To be fair we should make no exceptions and treat it like a severe disc or crash (in tournament you will not have any (remove player from the match)..so the best thing is keep it as it is.
it s not illogical it s exponential/geometric scale: 2nd get 50% points of first, 3 get 50% points of the 2nd, 4th get 50% points of the 3rd. This reward the skill&grind and not only the grind (like with a linear scale).
beauty geometric scale, now you play 1 hour to add 1 point? okay
1st and 2nd difference is too much, 4th is fine it's supposed to be neutral
finish 1 st should be the "everyone goal" otherwise 1st and 2nd can make "weird deals" to gather advantage toward others catching up players.
what do u mean, i can make those deals now
it's just that difference between 1st and 2nd is mostly luck
apart from the fact that 3rd place receives 2 points?
3rd is fine
whatever, you guys can make another ladder/event with this linear scale logic if you like it
linear doesn't make sense
then u get weird maths where it's actual braindead grind 4s/3s
realistically on current ladder u should average in the low 2s high 1s if you're not trolling
but he showed proof, so just erase that game from counting just for him, the upside of doing this is just way higher than not doing it
cuz the screenshot makes it obvious he's not trying to cheat a bad game out or something
actually if you finish 4th you will play less time per game than the other guys still in the match. Or you wait until they finish before starting another match?
that's what i mean, and 4th is "your fault" at least 70% of the time
I believe that no matter what you say, nothing will change. So forget about it and leave this matter aside.
and other 30% it's random aug after disconnect?
it's random bullshit happening yea
your number of 1st placement @sinful hornet @viral marsh tells me is more skill than luck tho. prove me wrong 👀
