@vivid stirrup what is Leviathan Beyond?

[hollow orbit]

testnet casual
SYNMUE
6/8

[hollow orbit]

This may just be a coincidence, but the synergy between rogue7 and revenant is too strong, so it may be a good idea to adjust the balance sooner.

The effect of rogue7 makes revenant's(TiiRuo) critical chance 89%, so the shield and spread damage are too strong.

Also, it's easier to get the maximum critical chance of 64% than it was with rogue9. At that time, the 7 rogues will have a critical chance of 89%.

It may be too strong.

[vivid stirrup]

Hopefully I am allowed to show you all soon 😛 until then, I will have to keep teasing you.

But know this, you will absolutely love it!

[west plume]

Looking forward to it🥳

[severe steeple]

someone around for a testnet game?

[sinful hornet]

Do we get the rogue changes on mainnet right now?

[fallen vortex]

@zenith mortar this implies ranks are being reset before rewards next week?

[fallen vortex]

games undergoing maintenance to update it, so in like 2 hours yep

[sinful hornet]

please tell me it comes with fixed loss when won thing

[zenith mortar]

yes

[sinful hornet]

also do we get eu servers on mainnet this patch or just NA?

[zenith mortar]

hard reset

[sinful hornet]

wait are we resetting this patch and rewards after or reset same time as rewards start?

[fallen vortex]

Hard reset now or next week?

[zenith mortar]

hard reset will be when rewards start

[fallen vortex]

that's what i meant sorry

[fallen vortex]

Sweet cheers

So your statement of 'claim your leaderboard spot now' in the blog was pretty funny 😛 Since it'll be reset

https://tenor.com/view/comaricemalibean-baby-baby-laughing-gif-10173809682617169621

[sinful hornet]

wait so does it mean they fixed ranked working for mainnet patch?

[fallen vortex]

What was wrong with it?

[sinful hornet]

on testnet it doesn't work

[fallen vortex]

For leaderboards they have added a more intelligent decay system

[sinful hornet]

on mainnet currently it works

[fallen vortex]

I assume it works

[mental stone]

Do we know when rewards start for gauntlet leviathan?

[zenith mortar]

more details coming next week

[fallen vortex]

I was just gonna tell him

[fallen vortex]

It has not been forgotten or ignored. Council has actively discussed this. And will come ASAP, to avoid splitting the playerbase it will be on a delay so we can grow player numbers first

[stiff helm]

Just NA until player numbers climb. Then we'll make it 3 regions globally 🙂

[digital lion]

is this new update for mainnet or is it still testing on testnet?

[fallen vortex]

Main Net

[digital lion]

wow sweet!

[mental stone]

Are we on track for the final version of gauntlet (inc ranger bonding, carousel, etc) to come to mainnet by the end of April?

[fallen vortex]

@worn tree would love your input on this, i have the same question

[violet summit]

does it mean that EU players might experience some connection issues?

[mental stone]

I think ranger bonding would be a massive thing. It’ll make the game much more strategic and dynamic

[worn tree]

Hey, the refined version of Gauntlet is not for end of April. It's more like End of Q2. However, on early May and early June big updates will be coming as well.

[worn tree]

Yes, and we are on it! I am very excited for this feature as well, personally speaking.

[mental stone]

No worries. I think this end of April final release was mentioned by Aaron a couple of months ago.

[stiff helm]

Shouldnt do - entire team has been working against the same server location and we're predominately EU based on the dev side 🙂

[worn tree]

cc @fallen vortex

[violet summit]

awesome, glad to know 🙂

[fallen vortex]

The irony, is even if you have 200 ping, its better than the current 500 ping and constant desyncs.

Despite not being the best speed out of all video games, it will feel like 10x snappier I think.

[fallen vortex]

Thank you, and spectator mode?

[worn tree]

WIP

[fallen vortex]

It's actively being considered?

We hadn't heard anything in some time

[worn tree]

It is WIP, so it is more than just considered 🙂

Glad to hear it, you know I am looking forward to it

Its too bad we aren't ascendant anymore, would have loved to make a Draft League

available?

32 players, seeded based on previous tournament results and leaderboard scores.

seems there is some pre-selection, no?

no it just means if you haven't played a tournament or ladder before u're seeded at 32

Hey! A minor balancing patch was just added! No game update is required, but it would be best if you could restart the game. Thank you!

Synergy Adjustments

• Empath: Attack Speed and Attack Damage bonus (special ability) reduced from 40% → 20%.

Illuvials

• Ti'Ru, Tii'Ruo, Tibi'Rukko: Damage on Takedown reduced from 80/100/120 → 15/25/40.
• Fixed an issue where Ti'Ru, Tii'Ruo, and Tibi'Rukko had incorrect takedown damage calculations.

Drone Augment Adjustments

• Champion's Focus: Attack Speed and Omega Power reduced from 20/35/50% → 15/25/35%.
• Veteran's Might: Attack Damage reduced from 20/35/50% → 10/20/30%.

[sinful hornet]

rogues are still broken

there's no shot this should beat me

like stomped 4 in a row 0 chance to even win

[hollow orbit]

Rogues can easily reach 100% crit rate, so I think they'll remain strong unless that's adjusted

[sinful hornet]

if they wanna deal a lot of dmg sure that's fine, but why the hell are they so tanky on 2 star 1 costs?

[viral marsh]

mystic. xD

[sinful hornet]

but it's a complete joke this class man every game is just perma stomp

legit cut the entire class dmg by half and then adjust up

[twilit storm]

no more rogues/corner comps heroes uh?

[sinful hornet]

ok no scrap that they would still be broken

cut their dmg by 90% and then u will still need to nerf

this shit is legit insane idk man

[turbid osprey]

Whats the new rogue crit on 7?

Did anyone double check if they really get 2 amp per crit or if its still bugged

[sinful hornet]

but it's not even just that

predators on 2 stars are worth 50 gold

vermilliare is worth 100 gold

1 rhamphy is worth like 20 gold

[turbid osprey]

It has to be the base crit, what else?

Did the base crit get nerfed or still 89% on 7?

[hollow orbit]

75%

[sinful hornet]

legit question, what's supposed to be the weakness of a rogue comp in this game?

how is it supposed to lose other than being stat checked?

design wise

wait is it bugged? why's my crit amp 150%?

or was that always 150?

[topaz lake]

That's the default

[worn tree]

5/8 on PROD Ranked

[viral marsh]

is it finaly rog meta? need test it

[open jackal]

Any game in testnet?

[topaz lake]

You can switch to Mainnet. We have everything here.

[open jackal]

Ok

[sinful hornet]

ok what if it's not a rogue problem but still too little durability on units?

[twilit storm]

somehow we need to make matches quicker

45 mins was way too much

30/35 is a viable option imho

[sinful hornet]

but last patch could easily have made matches quicker

[viral marsh]

2 crash on game start.

[sinful hornet]

the problem was just earth and wildfire

it wasn't an actual game fundamental problem, also there was a lot of dead time between rounds

u can just get rid of that

and save about 3 minutes a game

[twilit storm]

Fox did you redo the settings after update?

maybe all high is not good for your hardware

[spring basin]

I played 1 game and crashed round 2. Before patch I pretty much never crashed early game so something is not working as it should

[viral marsh]

all my settings on low

[sinful hornet]

ok i just crashed

i had 0 crashes on testnet tho

[viral marsh]

lvl5 - 6 units on tabel. xD

new patch new bugs

[spring basin]

We had this issue back a couple of months also. T

[worn tree]

I don't see the same rogue dominance as before @sinful hornet

[sinful hornet]

im not sure im pingponging opinions between games

at the end of the day i should have a better view

@worn tree is this the expected outcome for this fight?

come on man u can't tell me im supposed to lose this

[worn tree]

On first screenshot, I mean he has 4 stage 3s and more composites active.

[worn tree]

Second screenshot is much more even

[sinful hornet]

3rd fight

isn't the range of results way too wide?

[worn tree]

results?

[sinful hornet]

like stomp 1 guy stomp 1 guy into stomp for other guy

[spring basin]

it is for sure

the entire game is sucha RNG fiesta atm

The mix up in HP vs DMG makes the targeting so much more important than before.

[sinful hornet]

for me there's too much dmg still overall

like at least someone should be able to tank 10 seconds

[worn tree]

Positioning is key

[spring basin]

But if the game was balance I should never win a single round after you hit no matter what

[sinful hornet]

but everything just gets oneshot

the positioning was basically the same tho

it was just rng on what gets focused

[worn tree]

You guys were playing extremely high dps comps

[sinful hornet]

yea but what's a low dps comp

like i haven't seen a tank live past 10 seconds this patch vs anything other than absolute trash boards

[worn tree]

We are doing daily patches

[sinful hornet]

ok can you try leaving dmg as is, but buff tanks by a bunch

as in individual units not traits

[spring basin]

Yeah, and we are pointing out what doesn’t seem to be working. As a dev, you should take that feedback in instead of being defensive about it and blame other things that's not relevant.

[sinful hornet]

how much did average game time change?

do you have leeway to up durability like 25%?

[ebon flume]

1 more folks

[worn tree]

we reduced like 5 minutes in average length, but sample size is still too small and meta is still changing daily

[sinful hornet]

ok so im somewhat thinking it's not just rogues, it's anything that's not a psion or a tank, like autoattackers and nukers

[safe valve]

[worn tree]

We are aware that the balance has to improve a lot after the massive overhaul we did literally 3 working days ago. We are working relentlessly towards making it better.

Please let us do our job and be more patient.

[sinful hornet]

u know how on previous live patch caradulox was living for like a minute a round? now he lives 3-5 seconds, i'd like to see what happens if tanks are actually useful before any huge overhauls

[worn tree]

We are done with overhauls. Now we will iterate from here until reaching proper balance. It's true that tanks need a bit more survivavility.

[sinful hornet]

the more i play actually the more im leaning to it's not rogues it's too much autoattack damage

[spring basin]

It's definitely an issue where the damage compared to the HP is not well balanced. Rogues just happen to scale very well in a scenario like that.

[sinful hornet]

yea it's basically everyone besides psyons and bulwarks

[west plume]

Is this tied
To Levithan Beyond?

[vivid stirrup]

Something I haven't enjoyed since we started doing it is trying to shorten match times @worn tree.

I don't think there's a strong sentiment among TFT players that spending 45 minutes on a win is too long. If there had been significant room to cut match length, Riot probably would've done it over the past five years.

I think we should cut them some slack and avoid thinking we can substantially improve something that relies on core underlying principles, like round duration.

Running out of time when it feels like I shouldn't, having no positioning time left after spending it all on augment choices, or fights becoming rushed due to increased overall damage—these trade-offs aren't worth saving a few extra minutes, in my opinion.

[sinful hornet]

my biggest gripe with this is we have dead time we could've cut instead and saved minutes with no balance changes

[viral marsh]

at start of every game i have problem to load into game.
like when start loading screen appears - i have freez game/lags.
1 of 2 games im load into lobby. but at 2nd - i have restart client. sometimes i have button reconnect. sometimes have just click find new game.
how i can fix that?

[vivid stirrup]

Leviathan Beyond is something appart of the main games of Illuvium. 🤫

[worn tree]

Makes total sense Paz. It is a balancing act.

We will work towards finding a sweet spot time & balance wise.

Thank you for the feedback 🫶🏻

[vivid stirrup]

Thank you for being here, taking in the heated community feedback, and working hard on this with the rest of the team! Appreciate you.

[vivid stirrup]

besides PvE rounds, which are supposed to become an experience itself later down the line with Leviathan battles for example, do you see any other areas where we could easily cut time?

[vivid stirrup]

you tried to delete your save data folder?

[sinful hornet]

yes time in between the rounds was 60 seconds on previous live after like round 20

and if you tuned down wildfire and earth the game should've been shorter too, average round time for fire comp was barely like 10-20 seconds, even vs those 2 comps

[ashen mango]

Related to illuvitars? 👀

[ashen mango]

Thanks Winnie, I'll play a game to see what has changed

[vivid stirrup]

what a nailbiter, good to see some OGs return. @edgy flower

that rhamphite taking down scoriox with a last second adoredo heal was so lucky 😄

[edgy flower]

@worn tree maybe it was said already, but I have been playing the first game for like half a year and in the 1st game 4 ppl didn't load in the game from the start coz of the new start game animation -_-

[edgy flower]

It's my second game with ranger In game and I miss first 5 rounds coz of visual bug and full reopen game to avoid it

So I consider second place with being the only one who deal any DMG to you as a good result, gg

[vivid stirrup]

I was so hoping on that 100 HP perfect finish and then on 8hp u start turning it around 😄 wp

[hot pond]

Spent so many coins in the beginning but wasnt able to get the last 2 flishes for all 4 stage 3 ones 😄

[worn tree]

Welcome back Hetbonhe.

We will take a look at what could be the cause for that. Try to send bug reports whenever you can.

[edgy flower]

A bug report was sent 🙂

[worn tree]

Thank you very much

[edgy flower]

In case you can push it, I would like to have the option to turn it off in settings
P S asked in guild, all active players have faced this bug

[vivid stirrup]

@worn tree maybe something that has not been mentioned much yet, but I think is a huge deal.

All the timers, be it round starting in 1 Second, or Augment selection time is over in 1 Second should count until -1 before they are done. LoL and TFT do it that way so I think a lot of our audience might be used to that. It feels so bad missing the timer because you thought had a full second left after it went to 0.

[sinful hornet]

I don't like that the 7/9/10 thresholds are all reachable without emblems, these should be things you see once in a blue moon not forceable every game imo

[dark scaffold]

will grab your game ID

Anyone wanna play leviathan ascend 1v1?

[topaz lake]

Most of them are, especially the Composites. For Primaries it's a bit more complex since we have a lot of units in each of them.

[ashen mango]

What do you mean, is there a playable ascendant mode right now?

[weary sinew]

Yes . You have to go in settings tho to activate it....honestly i refuse playing to much with free asset... it doesn't make sense hopefully leviathan will be popular.

[ashen mango]

Okay I'm logging in let's try that

Sorry there is an update... after that ... i did in on settings Overworld should be some that you have to thik in settings.

Probably in arena settings to

It's probably gone with the update

There's no Overworld anymore for now

[violet summit]

@sharp geyser im in ranked lobby

[sharp geyser]

but put me in another lobby

[violet summit]

I dont know why 😦

[twilit storm]

this is a new feature:

half of the team hitting unknown invisible targets..aiming at nothing..and one enemyunit alone (snail) killing all of them one by one..

gg

[granite osprey]

there is a bug. team attaking the air until end time.

[twilit storm]

game crashes way too much, freezes, weird screens bugs ...it hurts

@granite osprey that s s what I just said #🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[viral marsh]

is it new servers which we wait, already among us?

[hollow orbit]

It seems like it can be defeated over time, but it's a nasty bug.

[twilit storm]

rogues are fixed @worn tree 💯

all good.

[zenith mortar]

Maybe @umbral oracle wants some

[twilit storm]

how can i be gud

[zenith mortar]

One cannot simply
Git gud

[viral marsh]

play solo on rogues today, got 2 dron augment for tier-5 unit. got rhamphy at lvl6.
then roll around 80-100 gold on lvl8. got 0 other rhamphy.

other game - noone build aapon, spend 60 gold on lvl5 - got 2 aapon.

[zenith mortar]

One must git gud

[twilit storm]

yeah shop is full of shiet

[viral marsh]

but some other people build stage-3 weapon

[spiral cargo]

Is everyone still on the testnet or back on mainnet now?

[viral marsh]

and have game, where i got 4 stage-2 unit on round-3. and then stay on win streak till round 14-15

[zenith mortar]

[twilit storm]

@spiral cargo too lazy to read?

#📣〕announcements message

[zenith mortar]

I’m gonna start my own guild called sit down 🪑

[twilit storm]

call it wannabegut

[viral marsh]

strange, but at night time i have less crashes/loading into game that at evening time.
probably multiplayer servers can't stand it 30-40 people play at same time?

[twilit storm]

was thinking the same fox

[spiral cargo]

Saw the announcement, still can't find a lobby for ranked.

[twilit storm]

now zero crash, zero

[viral marsh]

yes, also last 4-5 games around fine. still without this intro movies at start lobby, but at lest i can load and start play.

if that real info. hm. then it's bad news.
when 100-500 new players come. i'm even not say about 100 000

[twilit storm]

Bandwidth problem? uhm

or they are tuning the servers and they performing better than wen they started

@worn tree pls boost rogues..the nerf was too big.

Would this be disconnected due to the internet?

[zenith mortar]

Looks like it

[mental stone]

Won a round and lost HP - it was the last round 😆

[rich pasture]

Can we delete the black shadow?

[rich pasture]

What does that mean? Whose tier?

[worldly jolt]

An illuvial that is a
Tier 5 illuvial. Note the 5 bars at the top of the image will correspond with the 5 bars at the top a tier 5 Illuvial image.

[sinful hornet]

why did the new shop ui make it to live when the feedback on it was negative?

[rich pasture]

Every time I don't know what state I'm in, can you make some animations to show which stage my monster is at?

What is the "Light" and "Dark" state?

[ebon pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/the-it-crowd-moss-moss-it-crowd-it-crowd-fire-gif-25242200

[wide aspen]

Allied Unit only, we should probably add that for clarity.

[wide aspen]

Units there are mostly used to see the whole line, but yeah having a highlight here could help too, noting it down.

To see the stage, you have to look at the top of the card for the "stage" indicator.

But as you play you'll notice that it is easy to tell from synergies alone.

[wide aspen]

It's all there, I'll exemplify a battle to explain. Let's say a unit has this augment equipped:

• First 5 seconds of the battle, the unit is in Light State - meaning that its allies gain 50% AD and OP.
• Next 5 seconds of the battle, the unit turns off its Light State and enters Dark State - it doesn't give 50% AD and OP anymore, but now enemies lose 50% AS and Resistances.
• Next 5 seconds, the unit is no longer in Dark State, goes back to Light State - enemies gain back their AS and Resistances lost while the unit was in Dark State, and allies gain 50% AD and OP from Light State
• and so on for the whole battle while the unit holding the augment is alive

Updating Gauntlet, anyone on rn?

[vivid stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/im-watching-stalking-lurking-watching-peek-gif-7914122

scoriox is giving out some free elo! 😄

[digital lion]

hey guys. only played 1 game of new patch. gameplay seems a little bit too fast. maybe im just not used to change. What is everyones opinion on it?

[vivid stirrup]

Live on all channels, lets show the world how fast we can fill up a lobby 😛

[frozen tartan]

@topaz lake Hi. I just wanted to clarify – after yesterday's global update, were there any changes made to Leviathan, apart from the changes to the Illuvials' strength?
I'm talking about the major bugs that used to interfere with our gameplay.

[topaz lake]

Hey! No, the only changes made to Leviathan are the ones mentioned here: https://illuvium.io/news/arena-gauntlet-balance-patch-notes-1-6-0. So, only the Power of Traits and Levels.

[sinful hornet]

but then the game mode's sort of unplayable until it takes the right illuvials

[topaz lake]

It should always take the 'best' Illuvial. If you own and play two copies of the same Illuvial, the first should be the best, followed by the second best.

[sinful hornet]

well yea but back when we did those leviathan evenings it didn't do that

[hot pond]

I kept wondering how leviathan would actually turn out in gauntlet. If I do not own all illuvials, will the missing ones be just available in the shop from other players owned assets? So basically if someone has a 100% rhamphyre, it can be used by someone else because they were able to get to rhamphyre first?

[frozen tartan]

If you don't own an Illuvial, you can find a free copy of it.
Level 1, no additional stats.
You'll gain the advantage from its class and affinity.

Each player uses their own deck. If the deck is incomplete, the empty slots are filled with free, weak copies.

[hot pond]

So the shop always consists of owned illuvials + missing free ones I see

[frozen tartan]

Yes, exactly 🤝

[fallen vortex]

wtf is 'mitigation'

[frozen tartan]

grit and resolve

[fallen vortex]

oh cool

so i took the worst drone augment whoops

[severe steeple]

I was in the same lobby as PAZ, I know this becouse I watch him on youtube. The funny thing is, he is playing already and I'm still waiting🤣 Is there a fast Lane for Youtubers, or what the hell is going on?

[fallen vortex]

i insta entered no idea

[frozen tartan]

Just my assumption: maybe the player matchmaking system is working based on ratings now?
There seems to be a big rating gap.
It's possible the system considered you not suitable for that lobby for some reason?

Magnat has a 1.4K rating,
Paz has a 1.2K rating,
Scoriox has a 1.2K rating.

@worn tree Is it possible that a player matchmaking system based on ratings has actually been implemented?
Or are my assumptions wrong?

[sinful hornet]

if that was true we'd have 10 hour queues

[frozen tartan]

@ashen mango @safe valve @vale zephyr @hollow orbit @winged fox @frank moon @warped ocean @open ibex @sinful hornet @spring basin
Guys, I was told that the global bugs in Leviathan mode should be fixed. I suggest we gather 8 players today to test if Leviathan is fixed.

I won’t tag more than 10 people to avoid getting automatically blocked by the bot. So please, share this information with friends who might be interested in testing today.

P.S. What time would be convenient for you to gather?

[sinful hornet]

im not playing levi if it has levels im probably just selling them instead

[frozen tartan]

I'm just guessing. I think Nil knows the truth.

[sinful hornet]

also it's possible paz just has delay on stream

[frozen tartan]

For those who want to test Leviathan today: I suggest we gather for the test in 6 hours and 46 minutes.

[fallen vortex]

lol wot is rogues @winged fox

deleted my ass

[foggy tiger]

2 moreeeeee

[sinful hornet]

it's fighters too but lesser degree, basically just play autoattackers and they 2 shot anything

[frozen tartan]

To be honest, I don't think rogues are as crazy as they used to be.
They can still win (as they should).
But I think they've been nerfed enough.
Most likely, it's about skill now

[fallen vortex]

Lol say what u want, Paz Grilla just 1v9

me

[violet summit]

@foggy tiger did you get disconnected from the game?

[foggy tiger]

meh?

[vivid stirrup]

yoooo what happened

[sinful hornet]

did the whole game close?

[vivid stirrup]

i was winning

[hollow citrus]

Sorry guys

[sinful hornet]

hahahaha it happened in 2 games at the same time

[violet summit]

everyoone DC lol

[vivid stirrup]

haha

[hollow citrus]

just deployed some fixes

[fallen vortex]

lol u ended me then i got the error

[sinful hornet]

so do we need to restart or?

[vivid stirrup]

if u repositioned your rhamphite u maybe had a chance 😄

[worldly token]

I just started my first game in ranked on the new patch. Server error in round 3 and no reconnect?

[foggy tiger]

lets go

find again

[foggy tiger]

yeaaaaaaaaaah

[sinful hornet]

the game got killed basically

[hollow citrus]

you should be able to go in a new game and have less error loading in games now

[worldly token]

hmm

[sinful hornet]

it dced everyone in a game

[fallen vortex]

I'm half asleep dude

[foggy tiger]

Find again

lets play

[foggy tiger]

youre late

[violet summit]

I see that 😦

fck

[frozen tartan]

@vivid stirrup Really 1v9?

[sinful hornet]

what exactly does this do? is this teamwide or 1 unit kills they get this buff?

also was the dmg formula reverted again?

[dark scaffold]

backed patch on the way, after that, this should not be happening anymore 👀

[frozen tartan]

Amazing!

[vivid stirrup]

fack me

[worldly token]

again

[fallen vortex]

LMAOOOOO

[worldly token]

sad

[foggy tiger]

annoying now

[severe steeple]

fuck!!!!!!!!!!

[hollow citrus]

did this just happen a second time?

[sinful hornet]

ok so can we play now or not?

yes

[hollow citrus]

ok going to go see what happened

[fallen vortex]

lol yes

[vivid stirrup]

fk it, lets que again

[fallen vortex]

lezgo

[topaz lake]

It only applies to the ally that eliminated an enemy unit.

[sinful hornet]

and 2nd question do you know?

was it intentional revert or mistake?

[fallen vortex]

never been more stable

now everyone gets dc at the same time lol

[opaque void]

When will the full arena actually be released ? Is there a date like when they will start marketing it ect ?

[fallen vortex]

ultimate fairness

[foggy tiger]

relaunched

lets try 1 more

[severe steeple]

I had an aquarium full of fish 😢

[opaque void]

Like when are the e sports going to start with team liquid ect

Is there any sort of date in mind

[topaz lake]

The attack damage gained is applied to the base value. Previously, it was from the current, but we fixed that yesterday.

[fallen vortex]

@vivid stirrup trip taunted

[mighty tulip]

How's arena these days? I haven't played since before we got multiplayer servers on testnet

[fallen vortex]

get rekt

[sinful hornet]

no the 2nd question is player hp dmg

ye

[violet summit]

3rd time 😮

[fallen vortex]

BAHAHAHA

[vivid stirrup]

again

just without the error msg

[sinful hornet]

alright ill try again later

[vivid stirrup]

i just found exodia

[hot pond]

also had the error message now

[vivid stirrup]

@hollow citrus

[fallen vortex]

THis is my last try

[hollow citrus]

we're looking at it and have an idea give us a few minutes

[violet summit]

let us know when everyting is stable lease

[hollow citrus]

wait 10m before starting agian

[topaz lake]

It should be exactly as in the Public Info Doc.

[mighty tulip]

Looks like there's still bugs. Might hold off a little longer then 😅

[fallen vortex]

nope

we in

[fallen vortex]

Illuvium has never ever had bugs whatchu mean

tis perfect

[sinful hornet]

it's not the same as it was on the live patch last week

was it too little there?

it was different while on testnet too, as in different from previous live, same as now

[topaz lake]

Yes, then that changed if we compare it to the previous live version. The current Damage Formula from live should be 1:1 with the one from Testnet.

[sinful hornet]

isn't this just the same as before the last patch?

[hollow citrus]

So we just changed something in the server setting to prevent games from being teminate early. Going to keep monitoring

[mighty tulip]

Some games I had to relaunch illuvium every round and hope I got decent augments. Felt like bugs to me but maybe I was just playing on hard mode 😅

[fallen vortex]

@hollow citrus getting tonnes of error codes

oh wait we back

[hollow citrus]

what kind of errors?

[sinful hornet]

hold on, shouldn't max dmg a level 4 player can deal be 6?

in rounds 3-6?

[fallen vortex]

for like 20 secs it was throwing cant reach server errors

then eventually we returned

was at the same time u sent that message

[hollow citrus]

could be a you issue, I heard Australia doesn't have the best internet 🙂

[violet summit]

6/8

[fallen vortex]

Could be

bad internet but i have axodon on round 9

jokes on every1 else

[topaz lake]

Yes, it's the Player Level + Number of Units Alive - Modifier, so 4 + 4 (max units alive) - 2 = 6

[sinful hornet]

ok i need to keep an eye out to see if im delusional but im on a coinflip on whether or not i actually took 7 dmg multiple times from level 4s

[split scaffold]

Can you bridge the land to opensea?

sorry just new here

[rich pasture]

And also detlete the black shadow! Pls, looks dirty..

Can we have an general excel for all of the "CLASS"?

[wide aspen]

You can find Here information on all the synergies!

[sinful hornet]

Is it possible to make the drone augment indicators fixed somewhere on the screen it's hard to see them when the drone is moving god knows where

[worldly token]

Accidentally sold my chukoondi last second because I wanted to move him to the side. Did that happen to someone before? I kind of only want to sell my units on the lower end of the screen xD

[zenith mortar]

Yes

I flip out

[sinful hornet]

idk if there's anyone who actually wants this mechanic

it's not based on rank then

[zenith mist]

server errors are persisting

[severe steeple]

4th time for me today

[violet summit]

7 rogues still dominant

[sinful hornet]

depends

it's also a fast 8th

[violet summit]

dude you destroyed me and I had 4 wildfire, 2 enchanter, 2slayers 😄

[sinful hornet]

game is just overall in a really meh spot

[violet summit]

and very good augmentns

[sinful hornet]

ye and i literally couldn't cap harder than i did

whity was also going for the exact same thing as me

he went 8th

also the fight rng was stupid as fuck

legit coinflip

just randomly generated outcomes

If you don't have certain Illuvials, they will be replaced with free copies at level 1 with no additional stats. So you have enough to run a test.

[sinful hornet]

Does the ranger count as a unit for dmg calc?

[turbid osprey]

nope

[sinful hornet]

so a lvl 4 with 3 survivng units should deal how much dmg to me?

4+3-2

but i took 6

ok ranger counts as unit in calc

this should've dealt 8 i took 11

[turbid osprey]

maybe they changed the dmg formula

@worn tree

[sinful hornet]

it's here

it's bugged

wait hold up, i took 21 not even 11 wtf

ok even more hold up, im just trolling here that's 2 defeats i'll have to track upcoming fights

[silver merlin]

Is it me or monster rounds don't give gold?

Can't reconnect to my game. Never had this issue before on any patch.

Managed to reconnect but apparently I'm dead while still facing someone.

[viral marsh]

is it any options remove opponent drone from middle of my desk?

No mid-game. Then I tried to reconnect, but it was just loading forever, so I closed the game and tried again.

[safe valve]

if you protected your jotun a little better from my snake, you could have beaten me... 9 air is nasty

[worldly token]

got stuck with this screen twice today
The game starts and the board seems to be out of sight down there, because I hear the sounds and everything. Reconnect helps, but the first rounds go fast
edit: 3x now

[spring basin]

It is more random because the high damage compared to HP. The rounds are also so fast that it can be harder to follow and have enough time to feel emotionally what's happening.

[viral marsh]

why this rogues and fighters builds so strong.
it's seems like new meta, have 0 idea how beat them

[sinful hornet]

because the hp values dont work with the new attack dmg

[spring basin]

Because they scale better when the damage compared to HP has a higher difference

[viral marsh]

so, who faster build 1 of this build win?

[sinful hornet]

idk, the round results are almost randomly generated

u can play 2 different games the exact same and get 1 in one and 8th in other

[spring basin]

To some degree, but of course economy and items still matter. However, skill expression is definitely some of the lowest we've ever had.

[sinful hornet]

and i just got this bug

[viral marsh]

same

[spring basin]

I would be really happy if they just reverted this entire overhaul. The game was good before; it just needed improvements to traits, balance, and other small things. This update has put the game in a much harder place to fix and balance

Yeah I crashed also

[sinful hornet]

ye this patch overall is fucking atrocious

also the dmg change revert what is even the point of that

[spring basin]

To cut down the time of the games. But in my opinion it should never come at the cost of game quality.

[sinful hornet]

but this is flawed reasoning, unless u don't want tft players to play the game

and you're telling me your game design philosophy changed in literally 1 week?

[turbid osprey]

Shorter game time is definitely a positive, but like slickz says it shouldnt come at the expense of quality

The change is a good idea but it overreached so now there needs to be some adjustements

[sinful hornet]

revert into tune down wf and earth is legit better than what we have

[spring basin]

Yeah, I personally agree that it's not good for the game. But from their perspective, they tried something they thought would be better for the game. Hopefully, they realize it fast enough and revert it instead of trying to improve something with a bad foundation.

[sinful hornet]

if i played the game first time on this patch i'd have legit uninstalled and never looked back

[safe valve]

let's try to stay reasonable and constructive with the feedback 🙂

[hollow citrus]

Feedback is welcome and the team is always looking for it but please stay respectfull, if it's hard go out and touch some grass. If not action will have to be taken

[sinful hornet]

it's not flame, it's perspective, if the game was 60% good before it's now legit 20% max

[hot pond]

Bulwarks for sure need some improvements. Way too squishy to be a tank. I had goliant which is supposed to be the best tank with 9 earth and defensive augment and it almost got one shot by a verminio

[sinful hornet]

the fight speed overall is way too fast to the point where u can't tell what's happening and if you pick any augment that says after x sec you grief yourself. Also game has actual 0 clarity you legit can't tell why anything happens the way it does and what you're supposed to do

[hot pond]

Maybe I keep repeating myself but I still feel like the game was almost perfect already with the initial arena launch where we had bloom arcanite and so on. Maybe it would make sense to check how it was done there and reiterate from there

[sinful hornet]

i agree they legit achieved close to perfect balance and then everything after that was a downgrade

[hot pond]

Exactly. With every patch after it got worse unfortunately.

[sinful hornet]

oh wait we're talking different things maybe, im thinking about initial gauntlet

[hot pond]

Yea I mean the initial 1v1 arena launch

[viral marsh]

this 7 fighters with multiple dron augs for +15% atack speed. this fights so fast. impossible beat them

[sinful hornet]

i just lost not even close to empaths with that

that's the only comp i haven't tried yet

[weary sinew]

@sinful hornet is right it s not easy/funn to play this game .. iff you dont know what is happening. How about doing a speed choice before starting the game? So if players that are experienced can play at their speed and newbs can do that to?

[sinful hornet]

that's not what i mean with speed, you can put the game in slow motion it's not the animation speed that's the problem it's the speed at which everything dies

[weary sinew]

i said this before but you give less time than chess game and the info is overloadin.. to much

[weary sinew]

well speed overall slower so players see what is going on all toghether... no reason to rush unless you seen the game 1000 times es + i understand but most did not did they.

i can't tell yet how often u die before 10 empaths

[twilit storm]

I think half of the problem relies on lucky picks of very strong drone augs, that + specific comps make the game a "rush dmg, insane quick rounds, fading away from the strategic beauty of Arena"

[viral marsh]

10 empath? and how do dmg with it?

[sinful hornet]

they changed them so they deal dmg

[twilit storm]

now empath do damage 👀

[viral marsh]

not think so

[twilit storm]

like a doctor with a sword

[safe valve]

Or a doctor with a spoon

[viral marsh]

just play fighter and rogues, guys - that meta, dont forget how strong they are

[safe valve]

me as a casual player, i like many changes that came with last couple patches.
What I (again as a casual) would like to see changed/improved is:

• Bring back some HP, fights really are to fast now, tanks with 2 tank augments get 2 shoted which shouldn't be the case
• Make heal great again. My jokul (without omnivamp augments) easely outhealed my fludd (maybe would improve to some extend with bringing some hp back, but i feel not enough)
• Decrease attack range of range Illuvials so corner comps are easier to counter. (currently if i take everything in backline, they don't really move forward cause they can shoot almost across the whole board)
• Some balancing in general (especially drone augments (i feel there's way more "cool" drone augments for melee's than for psions/empaths))
• Rebalance the tiers, but especially Drastically decrease battle power of T0, they should fall of pretty quickly imo (It shouldn't be possible to carry your board with half t0 to late midgame or even endgame)
• (Change root from turtle or its energy gain... my 5 fighters were kept in root for the whole fight and didn't do a single dmg (maybe a bug idk, but having 1 good placed illuvial to outplay an entire class feels wrong))
• UI: bring back the drop-chance table to where it was before and shrink the whole UI by a couple% to make some free space which could feel more pleasant to look at (Like to the extend where the T0-table wouldn't overlap with the classes/affinity UI)

[sinful hornet]

i just got a lossstreak start in a pve round

that i won, and haven't lost a game in 20 rounds

im also seeing games end in actual less than 30 minutes that's way too fast

Friends, just a reminder that in 46 minutes the training in Gauntlet Leviathan mode starts.
⚔️
According to the latest info, this mode has been fixed.
I suggest we gather and test it out.

[frank moon]

yeah leviathan is totally not working. I checked a couple of my illuvials during the game and both stats and levels were not taking into account. Even more worrying the base stats of the illuvials did not match the ones on the illuvidex

[frozen tartan]

@safe valve On one hand, it's really sad that Leviathan is completely broken.
On the other hand, I'm happy that I got lucky 🙂

[frank nimbus]

How is the new version guys? Haven't gotten a chance to play yet

[viral marsh]

yestarday mystic give other thing

why synergy got changed without announcement? is it anything else changed?

[violet summit]

good point, it definetely changed
I remember it was attack speed and shield

[worn tree]

Here's the announcement:

#📣〕announcements message

[viral marsh]

ussualy anounce going before patch

[worn tree]

Apologies, the Deployment and the Announcement weren't synched properly.

[hot pond]

Loving the quick patches! Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks team 🫡

[viral marsh]

5 bulwark still joke.
every bulwark doing around 1000-3000 dmg per fight, but energy (5 synergy) damage around 1-2%

[young wagon]

Don't you think the game leaves you with too little time to think? I haven't played Gaunlet much, but the game is more complex than TFT: there are more unit combinations, you have to buy weapons and armor, select items, positioning your units is more important... I understand that if I play more I won't need as much time, but the game gives you so little time that it's overwhelming.

The mode is starting to get good, but I don't think it's ready for real competitive play. It still needs polishing and improving things.

[gaunt axle]

Working on it ^^

[hollow citrus]

Leviathan hasn't been implemented with the new multiplayer architecture yet but should be coming soon

[viral marsh]

when trying got into game and got 6 crashes

[sinful hornet]

you get to a point where the timer is too long if you play enough

[frozen tartan]

We are waiting 🫡

[sinful hornet]

it's not really more complex than tft when u got a few games in to make armors and armors 2nd nature there's a bit of clunkiness but that only matters with 5 seconds left of the timer whether the timer is 60 seconds or 6

[languid sparrow]

Arena v1.8.0a was a fast patch

[viral marsh]

Mystic (4): Heal increased from 10% → 15%, but Attack Damage component is removed.

which right?

[sinful hornet]

wait does mystic proc on every unit?

[topaz lake]

It used to have 10% Heal + 10% Attack Damage, now it has only 15% Heal

[topaz lake]

Yes, when allies drop below 40%, they gain Damage Amp and Reduction (including mystic units). But it procs only for the unit that drops below 40%, not the whole team

[viral marsh]

i mean: on patch note it's 1 thing, in game it's other. in description 4 synergy

[topaz lake]

It's the same in game and in patch notes.

So what it does: When an Ally drops below 40% Health, they gain Damage Amp and Reduction.

When you have 4 Mystic Units, you unlock the (4) bonus - When an Ally is vanquished (eliminated), all allies are Healed for 15% of their Max Health

[ebon flume]

got the same

[viral marsh]

but in patch nothing says about vanquished. it's why i ask

[topaz lake]

That's still the old component from the previous Mystic. I'll ask to be mentioned, to avoid confusion 😄

[viral marsh]

previous mystic was playable. strange decision nerf them and 6 psion synergy.

[zenith mortar]

Yeah they are looking into it

[uncut comet]

i would also reduce the damage taken by round , doesnt feel good if u cant even get to lategame in the most games or get these huge hp damage swings for small "mistakes" / bad role rng / lategame playstyle for 1st place (when half lobby doesnt care and just role all their gold)

[supple beacon]

I think the biggest issue is that if it is a close fight and they have only one illuvial left, you still lose a lot. Damage taken should be more dependant on the number of surviving illuvials

[uncut comet]

thats right too

[zenith mortar]

@west plume GG

im sharing my screeen if you wanna see end of the game @west plume

[viral marsh]

@sinful hornet you were right by the way about this empath builds. i try some games and this build so strong at 7-10 empath synergy.
rogues and fighter not even close to this empath shields

[west plume]

Wow

i Was doing Meta testing Rich

check your DMs Rich

👀

[zenith mortar]

got it

[sinful hornet]

it does exactly same thing as rogues, 50 gold comp that beats 100 gold

[supple beacon]

Are we on multiplayer server?

[zenith mortar]

Yeah they are working on multiplayer server still refining things as we speak, possibly deploying an intended fix for this shortly

[sinful hornet]

would it be possible to add an extra second to the prebattle timer that u can do absolutely nothing in as a buffer to register actions that happened at last second?

btw so far fight clarity is insanely improved

[sinful hornet]

i was 60 hp a round ago, crashed reconnected now im dead

[severe steeple]

now, we have more crashes than before. but at least, we all crash together.🙂 that will make us even stronger 💪 I already feel more connection to all of you guys, since we crash together!

4/8 lets go

[sinful hornet]

idk about balance wise but fundemental wise the patch was great, game's enjoyable so far

[worn tree]

Glad to hear that. It was the main point for the patch. That and nerf rogues.

[severe steeple]

i crashed again and after 3 minutes i reconnected 😭

did it give u the +0 classic or u could play?

[viral marsh]

nerf rogues (kill empath build?)

Nil play 10 empath build, 30 mins later kill this build

[severe steeple]

We have many types of crashes!
thats confusing 🧐

[sinful hornet]

this augment doesn't proc when ryplance last hits about half the time, i have no poison in so it should be straight bugged

btw i started a game at :35 and it's finished at :00 so if you think you have the leeway for it i think past round 22~ game is a bit too awkward, u have 2 people at 40 fight twice and if it's 2-0 it's over just like that

[zenith mortar]

just rubbed it in my face leveling and buying my bird so i couldnt hit stage 3 lol

you using a VPN or something?

It did this to me yesterday, we were 4 leftd and the game kicked everyone out

[sinful hornet]

are carousel/item components ready to be put on at least testnet? at this point best play would be to legit put every feature possible on live cuz even if u fix the bugs we have now i bet we're getting this happening again on the next big update

[noble hinge]

Can't log in to play. Security checks over and over. Can't believe IMX is going to make me work on my taxes today. 😢

[jolly whale]

Can you do mine too!

[noble hinge]

I hate accounting paperwork so much.

[west plume]

That reminds me i have to do my Taxes aswell

[noble hinge]

Every year I tell my accountant I will have everything to him by April 1st and every year I am writing him on April 1 to let him know it will be late.😫

[west plume]

Probabley confuses him alot when its on that day,is she kidding or is this real😆

[noble hinge]

He wishes I were kidding but knows me by now.

[vivid stirrup]

how is everyone feeling about the patch after some days of trying?

i know it's not perfect, but I have made peace with the fact that there is a need for urgency because we need to get all the features out asap, and that's why so many changes were made and why we are feeling overwhelmed and the balance is off still. I do have a lot of trust in the team and specially Nil to patch it all up in the next days / weeks to be the best balance we had so far.

At which point we are "only" looking for getting in: weapon system, augment component system (which the reworked augments have made a big first step), and regions right?

You got this Labs, we rock with you!

[sinful hornet]

battle fundamentals after the fix feel ok, balance i can't tell, but i went from 2 days ago being most pissed about the actual game to bugs/crashes being the worst stuff again so that's good. Round 23+ is too awkward imo too much base dmg some of it should move from being tied to level and modifier to being tied to units surviving.

i have 0 problems with the timers they don't feel too small at all

[vivid stirrup]

u can log in?

[sinful hornet]

wait you still can't?

[dusty flame]

Cant log in XD

[sinful hornet]

for me it was fixed like 3-4 hours ago

[native mauve]

is couldnt login like 4 to 5 times but then got in

did u try spam logging?

[topaz lake]

There are some problems with the Damage Formula, which we'll be addressing soon.

[frozen tartan]

Hi,

I’ve been encountering this issue multiple times after the recent major update, and I’m wondering how the final standings are determined in the game now. It seems like there might have been some adjustments, or maybe it’s a bug – I’m not sure.

Here’s a specific example: in my last round of ranked play, I lost the round first. The screen turned black, and I was awarded 5th place. I waited for my opponents to finish their matches, and then I noticed that another player who was originally in 5th place was moved to 4th place, while I was still stuck in 5th. It was clear that the other player had taken more damage, so I should have received 4th place, as it initially appeared in the right-hand table.

However, when the final standings were shown, I still got 5th place.

Do you know if this is related to a recent update or if it’s a bug?

[ebon flume]

come on ppl

increase your MMR

[sinful hornet]

im not sure inferno works, im looking at the dmg bar and my inferno units' dmg graph doesn't move if they're not attacking

[topaz lake]

Most synergy effects are not tracked in that panel, yet.

[topaz lake]

Sounds like a bug. Did you see the other player's Health being lower than yours at the end?

[sinful hornet]

we can't know it doesn't go negative it's always 0 hp

[frozen tartan]

I lost first, and in the right-hand table, I was given 5th place. Then another opponent lost, and in the right-hand table, I was moved to 4th place, while they were given 5th. I had around 16 HP before my defeat, while they had significantly less.

However, in the final table, I was still given 5th place and had 16 rating points deducted. This has happened more than once, and it's not the first or second time after the global patch.

I'm over 80% sure this is an important bug. A major tournament is starting very soon, and I think this could cause issues there. @turbid osprey

@turbid osprey I understand that the situation is really complicated. It's quite likely that players will encounter something similar in the upcoming major tournament. We need to find a way to address this issue in advance, as I doubt the developers will have enough time to fix it before the tournament starts.

Maybe a screen recording could help in some way? The information displayed on the right (in live mode) is accurate. The information in the final table is mostly correct, but sometimes incorrect.
The first time I encountered this, I thought I might have imagined it. The second time, I thought it was a bug. By the third time, I decided to report it to the developers and to you.

@turbid osprey I think working with video is not the best option, as very few people would use it. Plus, it puts additional load on the computer, which is definitely a bad thing during a tournament.

Maybe taking a screenshot of the last few seconds of the game would be much easier. After you lose, the game doesn't end immediately. The screen goes black, and you have to wait until your opponents finish their games. After their games, the leaderboard on the right changes. There are about 1-2 seconds after that, and if you take a screenshot during that time, it could serve as proof of the actual leaderboard.

[sinful hornet]

why does freeze exist instead of just being Stun?

[worn tree]

Hey Paz,

Glad to hear you’re happy with the direction!

The overhaul was necessary to set us up for what’s coming. It’s a shame to lose the balance we refined over months, but it’s for the greater good. Moving forward, the current balance format is here to stay, and we’ll continue iterating within it.

To keep everyone aligned:

• Gameplay effects (Illuvials, Synergies, Augments, etc.) are now positioned for upcoming features like Forge, Carrousel, new Drone Augments, Bonding, Weapon & Suit Amplifiers, and PvE item drops. ✅ (Done)

• Balance iteration will continue until we reach a stable point. 🛠️ (Long Term Work in Progress)

• Combat pacing refinement, balancing speed to avoid fights that are either too fast or always leading to overtime. ✅ (Done)

• Preparation time between rounds should be long enough for new players yet short enough to keep seasoned players engaged. 🛠️ (Work in Progress, and adjustment on this is coming soon)

Lastly, I would like to add that balancing at Illuvium is a team effort. I work alongside professionals like Edi, Meko, and Perry, who put as much effort as I do. 🔥💪🏻

[frozen tartan]

I'm thrilled with your work. Really. Temporary balance issues are not a big deal.

What matters is that we’ve been getting a ton of content lately.

Thank you for all your hard work, team.

[frozen tartan]

@topaz lake @wide aspen @regal hound 👑

[topaz lake]

It's different. Frozen also prevents the unit from generating energy, Stun doesn't.
