didnt everyone hate vertical rogs?
when they're broken sure
doing crazy shits trying to enjoy the game, but it's worthless.
Is go with the broken, or lose a lot and end feeling bad.
id say you arent casual or low elo, you are experiencing what its like it most games at top elo
i think they shot themselves with the smurfs ban, u could've had people at the top play smurfs to test
ok, so it is same as in ascendant, when 1-2 rogues were "op" splash, like just put in lura/rhampy and kill some backline, other guy has to giga position or flip side
other guy has no counterplay now he has to choose what he gets fucked by
arcanite was kinda liek that as well
i think it makes the game more interesting that you have to consider using 1-2 rogues and positioning against it. Prefer this over vertical rogues being meta
I got a game, what com p do I play hollow^^
see a lot of people using 1-2 rogues as a liability too
but it doesn't, there's loulura + fernite + synalph or pho and goliant in a team how do u position with psyons
u can't, u either stat check them or not
5 bulwarks + 2 psyons + 2 empaths~ or 5 bulwarks+ templars and a pho and loura
meanwhile everyone complains about corner comps but that's the most grief positioning vs anything with no rogues
game feels giga laggy uff
not for me
i dont play psions lol
but if this didnt counter it than couldnt you just say the same thing in reverse
I'm not sure what the player quality was like when you played, but people have gotten better, and the standard is much higher than when I started. I'd say most players in the top 50 can beat me if RNG favors them or if I underperform. That said, it also has to do with agency being pretty low at the moment.
yea this is kind of my point
the rogues dont do as well vs fighters. Kind of just gives them free pathing onto opponents fighter
i mean i agree with this but because game agency got lower
Yeah, this is also true. But i don't really care to play vs 10000 good players as long as i have fun and the game doesn't go about who goes the most broken OP build and RNG only. I know, balance is hard, is hard to get a game where all classes and comps get to be equilibrated, but at least, they should have a % chance on winning. Right now, there are classes and comps that are useless, and like 3-4 fixed comps on every game. How do you measure a player's level or a good challenge with the game as it is?
there will never be a top of any ladder ever where people don't play the most broken build
the thing i don't get is how the fuck they basically nailed almost perfect balance on the first gauntlet patch and then it just kept getting fucked
This. I'll be more than happy with this.
tbh the rewards for top are barely good for top 1 if u had to play all day, it's decent for 2nd and 3rd only because now u can just do the 15 games weekly
also you get drawn into 1 raffle and u made more than if u were 2nd for the whole month KEKW
yeah that depends on pov, poor asia etc. sees that differently
i mean do they tho, don't they get more in axie still for way lower place?
u gonna stream some games?
tbh I get cancer atm by how clunky it feels compared to tft š
ye that's true
Any chance for a ladder reset next thursday into patch into leviathan the week after?
the clunky part is super crazy uff, was playing tft last 2 weeks and I can buy/sell new team in a turn
and reasonable rolldown holding extra stuff
u know there's sell push reroll keybinds?
could be
are there news on when Leviathan is ready?
no
tbh on testnet they kinda changed that i think there's legit not enough time for a rolldown after pve now
No reset, no balance... no leviathan? hmm... time to finish Clair Obscure š
we're probably getting patch in 2 days after tournament, but would still hope they sneak in some balance changes too otherwise not much changes
i'll wait for some balance then. Tbh i rage inside vs these bulk comps š¤£
i want to throw my keyboard to those Singes and do some real damage š
depends btw, farming abs exp is pretty "good/easy" thing atm, couple new p2e events/games every now and then, some do ask for not 0 capital investment though
some p2e stuff also has more barriers like go rent things etc.
if you are down to invest time and are smart person Kaito is better anyways for making money atm
compared to playing some low end p2e
or you can do the more competitive games tourament scene, which is the best if you are good at the games
i just saw the tft league or whatver they're gonna do, too bad the set looks trash
I haven“t see that yet
Set isn“t great, but ok I think
still a very polished game at least, but prob somewhat reroll heavy meta all set
5costs are cool designed, 4costs kinda low effort
I think I can“t even if I wanted to, currently on old pc, don“t think it can play ILV+stream
especially if game already feels laggy without stream š
come on I started playing arena by watching your streams
ohhh that answers lag, this game still has insane nasa computer requirment
my "new"pc hopefully soon back from repair
been having issues with it for 2 months
think they have to replace gpu
so I pray they have one there
is there a spreadsheet for the weapons btw?
Thx
@cyan olive glad you are back ingame ser, should we call you "trashbird" for life or do you think you ll reveal yourself? š
How have I missed the nice people of this community š
Yeah, I do agree that a flexible meta is much better for everyone. However, we also need to keep in mind that Nil has been on vacation, and the rest of the dev team has been working on the new patch. The main issue is that Bulwarks are too good, and some of the units, augments and items need polishing but that's something they can fix š
+7 and they both combined have 1300+ elo more then me and for 5. i would prob lost 25+ again
Lobby avereage is still low. It's basicly a free top 4. Do you think you should earn more points for beating a lobby with an avereage of like 1900 when you are 2294?
true but i suspect if you see bottom 4 the average is low
unlucky lobby though for sure
how much did u got for 1st and how much u get for 2nd also +7 +13 ?
he would only ever get 13
im much lower and never more han 13 even with a decent lobby
i don't think there's any lobby in the game wher eu can get more than +13
even if u somehow hit top 7+u
i was about to say that haha
the actual difference happens on - points for losing
i've had 36 and i've had 50 loss on 5th
on about the same elo for myself
Yeah wins are always the minimum for me and have been like the past 170 games or so 
i mean it should be even less its like rank 1 challenger in league gets same points like master player and never get capped if u just keep playing impossible to catch up
he would lose more tho
You are complaning about how little you get when winning and how much you lose when you lose. You do understand that would make it even worse for you to?
The ppl under you in ranking feels the sameway so it's a snowball effect
With the current players base there is no ideal fix to this and what we have is in my opinion the best solution
yeah whatever didnt wanted to offense u , i understand that with how the system work atm just said in an ideal way
imo everyone is in the position they deserve. I dont see anyone that is wrongly placed when considering games played (time put in) and average place/win rate (skill). Its working really well. Only criticism is the way the elo gain/losses "feel" but this cant be avoided
No worries, I didnāt get offended because there was no ill will āŗļø Thereās nothing wrong with having a conversation where two people think different things are good, as long as you stick to facts and avoid insults š
The feeling thing is tough though.
If people feel bad in theory doesn“t matter if system is fair and perfect, if they perceive it poorly it might as well be.
(Not saying I have a solution)
It is like if some team has a bad winrate, but people hate loosing to it, still kinda correct to nerf/disable it.
yea maybe i also shouldnt say cant be avoided i dont know that for sure. Also we established atleast two of the people complaining about the "feel" are actually top 15 and top 15 in most games generally doesnt feel great win/loss amounts
yeah, usually in this space many who are top 100 or better are "new" to that feeling on how mmr gain/lose etc. work there.
yea or even new to the genre, not to ignore the feedback or anything but has to be noted some times
yeah, hard part is figuring out a balance/system that works for current playerbase, maybe if it goes to 500DAU things feel different again
but need to get there š
wonder what it was first 1-2 weeks
of rewards. Seemed to be maybe 3-6 games on at most times
3-6 sounds decent, 8-player lobby big hurdle in general in that sense
maybe good AI bots are the solution š
yea
ah lul
I do agree with this, and I see your point. But if thereās no good solution right now because we need more players, which will likely come, then what are the possible outcomes? If you open things up more for those who feel negatively, it might strengthen their bad feelings and the feeling will spread to others. But if you explain the situation and help people understand why things are the way they are, and that we have to make the best of it, the negative feelings likely wonāt be as strong. Itās just as you said. Peopleās feelings can fluctuate, and theyāre often based more on perception than on how things actually are.
ranked 4/8
Yeah guiding the perception is the difficult part.
That“s why the core was are people unhappy cause of mmr number or cause of rank or cause of rewards, then you can address that thing.
If it is rank, then this atm is totally fine, could even be argued that top 4 shouldn“t be a secured gain, maybe you e.g. should be + on 1st minus on 2nd even cause so far higher than the rest.
Autochess early days had lobbies like that, your hidden rating prob goes minus on 3rd maybe on 2nd even atm.
So for ranking, if you want to make the climb infinite not a thing, that“s one extreme, 2nd 3rd 4th could be negative points.
maybe not 2nd 3rd but from 4th onward can help to prevent infinite climbing ye
Using the "hidden" rating for gains/lose would eventually make you get +0,1 or lower on 1st, using that is most extreme, can obv do inbetween.
That is what 1v1 system was
and why people saw +0 instead of +0,X
more granular, interesting
Wouldn't that make the problem worse? Most people are complaining about losing points and feeling like they have to play for hours just to earn them back. If you look at peopleās average rank, a system like this would make things a lot worse for almost everyone. I think the high negative points for bottom 4 are keeping the grind in check to a good degree. You donāt have to play 12+ hours a day to maintain your rank, but you still need to keep playing to defend it. If you wanna climb you have to improve your average, or play more. Isnāt that what good balance looks like?
I didn“t suggest let“s do this.
The current thing enforces a min + on 1-2-3-4 bt has uncapped loses? on 5th and below?
If rank is the worry, the min gains are a problem for those
if point lose on 5th or below is an issue, you could cap how much they can lose/cap it lower than atm
To be honest, i kinda feel like the actual system is not the best, but it does gives you the need of being top 4 in ALL games, which is fine, a game -25 could mean u need to win 2 games on first, which is hard.. but achievable. In fact, if u are a good player, u will end up with 90% top 4,assuming u can get 2 games on 1st, it kinda gives u the sense of pregressing.
The big deal, is when this system meets the actual game state, where ANY player, with basic knowledge of the game and a solid comp, can beat a pro as Slickz for instance, without a big strat, unit positioning , etc. So, getting like 3 5th places in 10 games is totally possible, and that's when u start wondering that there's something wrong about the game.
I mean, the balance of the actual game is the real problem, the ELO system just reflects that in your face.
elo system issue is more playerbase thing to be fair
sure.
there is not a single change u can probably do that gets rid of the people complaining because they'd be stuck in about the same ranks either way
just lobbies are very unbalanced and people hidden rating=/ shown, cause the enfored gains on top 4, so the difference grows and then 5th and below big minus
yeah, but maybe people feel better if 5th is max minus 15 or so, idk
ye you would but then u'd have the tradeoff be that the top 3 difference grows
not sure, if they never bot 4, this wouldnĀ“t help them š
In my case i'm not complaining about rank, i can humble assure you, i would be still at 10-15 rank (which i'm totally comfortable at) if i had followed the 3-4 actual comps that people play right now. I've never, NEVER played a single bulk 5 comp.
I always try to find new refreshing builds as the game goes on, and i managed to top 13 , until all lobbies started filling with 5bulk and the killer monkeys...
this, is not a coincidence, i can assure you. People didn't get better in 1 week.
on this patch u can easily eat a 5th even if u're the best player
6th and below really hard
yeah patches can always suck
An average player can sometimes beat top players just coz he has the RnG Gods on his side giving him the perfect Augs
So, my complain is about, i can't get fun or commitement anymore to a game that forces you to play 3 builds, or lose rank. I honestly tried, but can't.
idk, just making suggestions to the topic, as the 5th or below and then erase day worth of playing thing does suck for many
this is not a thing in competitive, you usually have to play what's best or you're griefing
You could argue to team, that they should allow smurf accs for that sake.
or just make one and donĀ“t tell š
in "competitive"..., things are not broken as this game is right now
i“ve played Dota 2 for like 10years, 8K MMR, i know what a competitive META game is , and trust me, this isn“t
ye but u can't compare moba metas to strategy games meta
Anyway, i“m a "new" player in Arena, this is my first Arena month even if i“m playing Illuvium (Overworld) since launch. I love the game a lot, i would like to spend a lot more hours in Illuvium, but a proper balance is needed for that to happen, and i“m sure this is a lot of player“s sentiment right now.
in every card game and autobattler it's the same as gauntlet
Some regions do some very niche comps in TFT often, but obv can“t hold to that standard atm.
sometimes they hit godlike metas with 5~ playable decks/comps on about same power levels but it's not often
TFT has many comps, cause components, augments, galaxies
same in HS-BG
ye but tft has like double the units
the ingame-events things shift whats good and bad for people
yes, but still more about the galaxies/augments pushing different "meta" to each palyer each game
yea but u can just think of it as different patches - ish, u already know based on galaxy what's good
i mean we're gonna probably get some variety with the emblems, but it could very well just turn the game into a complete fiesta too
My feedback as a cave man would be "Hey, i was having looooot of Fun before last patch, trying lot of different comps vs players with different comps, and climbing the leaderboard..." Suddenly, week 3 started with a new patch, and people started playing bulwark 5 comp, and monkey comp, and my fun went to hell" ... what happened?!
for some yeah, some others push like an emblem to people though
augments and components make you go very different comps or modify units even, like imagine Atlas line turning into dps
from what I saw in posts/watching people those kinda augments/galaxies don“t exist
which is like the main thing giving TFT replayability/has people do more than 1-2 comps for everyone
even here, could have augments giga buffing empath/psion/fighter/rogue builds, giving way more money to make phantom rhampyhre or w.e. more accessible and similar
we're getting galaxies next patch, but it's +30 starting hp, +2 dmg per loss, no change and other stuff i didn't see
then you have bunch of different lines people are supposed to take
yeah saw that, was disappointed about the lazy effects, but it is a start
and the thing is they +30 hp is so useless cuz there's no units in the pool to do anything with it
@sinful hornet tried last night with Rich
augments and components/items shift more than galaxie anyways
galaxie like you said mroe different patch
some regions are really wild
what else is there?
oh some of these are nice
yeah, but some also narrow down the "good" teams I think
All get the Same? Is it a Bug?
hopefully
Bulwark Basin
3 random all being 3 bulwark is pretty weird
3 also sounds Like an Overkill... 1 probably would do the job
ofc
Any chance we can get the gold bug fixed on next patch?
With all other Emblem opportunities you could run 7 figthers or so, without actually having a single figther in the comp š
+30 drone HP is not bad...really opens the way to late game comps, but the match last a "bit" more
not if everyone wants to buy same lategame comp 
no cuz there's no units, if u wait for late game u have nothing to buy
if the shop works..and units get back into it..you ll have them
Crystal Shores is the one I do not understand completely lol
crystal shores should've been default map
Halycion is wild for high strategic brains, huge cash for early losing streaks is š
there is no default map
6/8 ranked
that s the beauty of the "spinning wheel"
Ok, trying my 1st bulwark 5 comp for testing. THIS GAME IS BROKEN. Please, fix this. I“ve just thrown 5 random bulk units and 1.5K damage each, wtf!!
I do really like the new bottom left button "spectate" so you can watch the game even if you are kicked out early
Testnet build can't come
Soon enough to main net,
i mean it hopefully gets some balance changes
Perfectly balanced š±
1 tier 4 unit, 2 good augments, the guy Godrolled the game.
Look at the other Illuvial dmg... a joke. That was like at round 16... i literally masacred his whole team and this guy alone killed all my units... cmon man...
wait..the second is artic dominion..not blightfire, correct?
and i tested this bulwark 5 with 5 random bulwark and won like 5 rounds in a row.
yeah
artic.
adaptive carries then
we need balance team, for real.
no it's the 10 resists for everyone targetting and 200 hp
yeah, that one
they need to revert the teantee nerf and transfer it to grilla
Grilla + Bulwark + Augments. the 3 Broken Gods of Illuvium 
in Dota you can vote "ban" units before game starts, right?
sure
what if we can do vote "ban" augs in Gauntlet?
Hmm, i like the idea.
buuut, first we have to fix em š¤£
for instance, adaptive makes sense, but needs to be reworked - balanced. Also the one that gives true sight and some other.
the broken ones is the big deal, and the useless ones. As i say, balance fixes most of actual gameplay problems. Too much OP - Shitty disparity
@sinful hornet impressive how you got that exalted grilla so fast while +/- 8 were blocked
ye 8 were blocked by me
Velthrax (true sight + 40% piercing + 40% attack speed uh?
great rng on finding them when so many players were hoarding them. Same for seeforus. I will keep calling the shop rigged anyway
I called it months ago...shop and weapons are broken.
every player in that lobby was braindead
I don't think anyone is looking around/scouting
can't believe the guy with 70 gold at lvl 5 foudn the grilla over the guys at lvl 6 with 20 gold
you get an underlying VIP score based on how many games you play that affects your RNG
try selling tokens and you will never see a grilla again
you can see how many gold the player has now?
no but u can somewhat count
wen enemy credit scores
So, according to latest announcement, and considering there are no "Seasons"... then leaderboard “s never going to reset? What are the plans for this month ?
Ranks will be reset
Not sure when yet
But it's already being discussed
on new patch would be pretty good timing
a nice feature for region selection would be a spinning wheel for 3 regions and then players vote which of the 3 they prefer
a bit rude
greyed me out like i lost the last match when i still had health left and couldent buy anything
Yeah, I agree š A reset with the new patch would be good timing. Just donāt rush it because a few people are impatient. Make sure the patch is bug-free, balanced, and fun to play, then we can start the new season. If possible placement matches would be nice to have also š
Yeah, happened to me , funny like only 1 game so it“s a really uncommon bug.
i was already losing,and this was just an extra kick in the nut
Yeah, itĀ“s demoralizing to see everything grey like if the game Ā“s telling u "no hope for u my friend" š¤£
Hey mate, good to see you around earlier (:
I got rekt but that's irrelevant
I thought it was you, have you been playing the testnet version?
I've had no time to play since 7 months, that was My first login:)

Thanks for the 3500 guaranteed fuel š«”
thanks for the guaranteed 50 ILV
Nice conversations to read through!
I'd suggest hiding true MMR and have a rank climbing that resets every "season" which would be either monthly or weekly and just have players climb up bronze/silver/gold etc. The casuals then just get stuck in wooden league. Maybe then add a "top tier" that has a pool of the best players ranked with a simple number - 1 for the best player, 2 for second best etc. while keeping the actual MMR hidden. I've always found these systems to help players psychologically.
I would also align major patches with the season reset. It helps players identify the different top players based on that season's meta.
Also, it's essential to not let the meta get stale like this. As a player you can watch the game die when patches are sparse and the meta is "solved" to a degree. Interest will immediately pick up once a new patch drops.

I will be there
@zenith mortar Good evening, RichKing. I didn't quite understand the announcement. Could you please clarify a few things?
1ļøā£ "Reduce Leviathan Power" ā does this happen after the first reward season in Leviathan or before rewards even begin?
2ļøā£ Is there an estimated timeline for when rewards will be introduced in Leviathan?
I don't know the answer to either honestly, I think 2 is a bit dependent on bugs in leviathan mode. And 1 I would need to investigate internally a bit.
Got it, thanks for the reply. We'll be waiting for more details.
gg ..praise the broken augs..otherwise you d better go play monopoly š
muppet
disgusting
I would be very happy to play Monopoly in good company. Thank you)
btw blame the game not the players...this broken aug and the amazing "feature" which let you have even 2 ..is...
My opinion is that looking for someone to blame is a thankless task. At the very least, we are belittling ourselves. We are losing the root causes, playing at monopoly, and then, look, we are repeating the same mistakes again))
the double reflective won the last round not u ...little gugan.
I just smoked you the whole match until you had that "double gift" from the RnG Gods. be serious
your team was not even worth the 4th place dudeeeee
I don't know what you were smoking and who you're talking to, my friend. But, if you smoked carefully. And of course, finished smoking. Something tells me, the rest can relax and enjoy, at minimum in the monopoly))
ok i see you don t get it
Please accept my apologies, I think it's my fault that you started looking for common sense in our short dialogue. I just allowed myself to be a little charged by your positive energy)
yea ill make it
did i read over it or was the new weapon system with bonding not on the roadmap list
Weapon system is there

freaking close fight gg @hot pond
rolled 30 gold for a pho was nervouss still didnt came through haha
GG. couldnt find a weapon again the whole freaking game
yeah i got it pretty late too was sticking with verdant early game
I hate when afk people (or with the join bug) are in game and you cannot play lose streak...
doesn't matter anyway, half the time u get +1 gold for losing and -1 for winning
anyone else having a lot of crashes today?
7/8 ranked
yes that is about how often it happens to me. Quite annoying depending on the timing š
do we have to sign in or something for this today?
no, can just play ranked games starting and ending at the times mentioned above
I was wondering about the Saturday“s tournament struct. and it“s kinda strange 1st game takes out 24 players at once. With actual luck based augments-weapons roll and OP compositions , is hard even for top players to get top 2.
IMO, and for next tournament“s structure , it would be better to have a top 4
32 people - (4 games simultaneous leaving 16 winners);
16 people - (2 games simultaneous leaving 8 winners).
And those are the finalists.
Getting top 4 in 2 games is safer and skill based than a single game top 2. Just my opinion, i“m not even in the tournament.
ohh gotcha, how does one keep count?
or i mean how do we know each others points? is there a record?
@dark scaffold magic and Api stuff pulls the data from that time window
haha awesome so its a 4hs grind
its weird being lower elo is better then?
know what i mean? you get paired against lower elo so higher chances to win
in every semi, you have 4 ppl from top 16 LB and 4 ppl from the grind
if thats what you asking, so there is no "lower ranking" bracket
Yeah, i understand that. The thing i just don“t see totally optimized , is the fact that in every one of those 4 first games (where i understand that 4 people are from the LB and 4 on today“s qualifiers), 6 people are gonna get insta eliminated.
The game right know is really broken tbh, and anyone, literally anyone can insta eliminate 6 top players in a single game.
that wasn't a reply to u
also it's not really like that, chances are besides like 2 people most of the qualifier players will bot their games
but a top player can be guaranteed top 2 instantly on the first legendary augment round
Ok then.So only top players know about the legendary augments? ...
anyway... it“s ok. If you guys are so confident u know 100% will get top 2 in that first game, good luck then. No worries.
the broken augments are enough to give a mid player a free win, not someone worse
we could go for gazilion different rules, and all could be valid, and all could have ppl who love the rules and ppl who dont like them
If we talks bugs/balancing arguments, alternative would be not having tournament at all, is thats what we want?
If we talk amount of matches, for some ppl this will be 6-7 hours worth of matches (4 hours knocks offs and 2 games, 40-50min eacvh for semi and finals)
just try to have fun, we testing stuff, we braking stuff
Yeah, i agree, but remember those 32 people will be top 16 , and 16 qualifiers (mid players...)...
it's just number of games really, anything that's 3+ games take average and move to top 8 with another 3+ games is very decent, anything less is really just roulette
I was just trying to give a valid worry , and a way to improve it (IMO). The way i explained before only takes one more game per player, and seems more comfortable.
banning anything is just not feasible and pointless
this tournament has the rules set, next one may have different rules based on the feedback, best to play, gather your thoughts and then send it to Rich, after, we may make a thread in #1020759212172775464 and look/brainstorm for best rules etc
we have whole Saturday ( a day in the future) for the tournament... so , 2 semifinal games, and 3 final games are also better structured. As i say, as a valoration for next tournament, i know things can“t change in 2 days
I'd say the larger issue is resources, although it may seem like 2 days is no big deal, when our marketing team has been significantly reduced. So that means me organise and run it (luckily I have Peter helping) and Kieran coming too. When already working everyday and trying to balance a normal life with reduced resources. So although we may have a āwhole Saturdayā I personally do not. I donāt have any āwhole dayā for anything unfortunately lol
You could make it guild sponsored no? We already have like 3 guilds running 6-7 games tournaments
This brings a range of its own issues
But yeah we do that currently
Just not them hosting the Illuvium one
Whatās the difference you say?
well it's just competitiveness, 2 games is just not it, instead of 2 games i'd rather just have another raffle draw
Well maybe we want the tournament streamed? Well that again requires myself or someone from Illuvium (likely Me)
Guilds say we are being biased giving more exposure to others (yes this has happened already in past)
now i don't wanna just randomly give other people work they didn't ask for out of nowhere, but would paz as a council member not potentially run it himself on behalf of illuvium?
or other volunteers
I hope you're not planning to participate in the tournament as a player?
Might as well just hand you the 50 tokens right away.šÆ
I honestly value all effort you guys put into Illuvium. Believe me, every word or time i take to write here and to try to help / improve or give my shitty opinion, that sometimes people agree with, is because i love the game too.
And i assure u competitive players want to play and show skills, and have a truly deserved spot on the final. My method, or any other that could improve a game where 6 of our best players can get insta eliminated just by luck, seems reasonable enough.
Yeah we will see how today goes and improve upon it, I honestly do appreciate feedback and opinions, Iām no esport expert and never claim to be. Just want everyone to have a good time.
So i just suggest u, if it“s too late, to take that into account for next event. And if you guys can“t handle it, for 100% understandable reasons, there are more than capable guild leaders/ players that can do it.
Rule of thumb not even the bo1 Top 4 to qualify events were very competitive, gatekeeping top 2 is basically just a 40 minute coinflip, if there's a competitivness lever and a timesaving lever this format we have tomorrow is at the bottom of competitivness and top of time saving, and bo3/bo4 advance to top 8 into another bo3/bo4 is about 80% competitivness and 20% timesaving
I don't think your opinion is "shitty."
I actually like the format you're suggesting too.
as a player the phantom normal tournaments and the one quants tournament with like 5 games of top 8 were by far the best
Yeah, not this time, but i do trashtalk sometimes š¤£
now im not saying change the one tomorrow cuz it's gotta be locked for sure by now, but if u have any option to find someone to run a longer one it would be way better for the next one
We have Caveman, Paz, and Scoriox. All of them could stream and host the tournament, and make it more competitive so that the players appreciate it more. A semi-final Best of 2 and a final Best of 3 should be the minimum.
i mean it just really doesn't make sense to have the worst tournament format so far be the highest prize pool
I don“t really see a reason we can“t change tomorrow“s ... i“m pretty sure Illuvium top 16 would agree, because seems reasonable enough, and people that will clasify today can still choose if go for it or don“t. I know there “s a rule about "not changing anything 1 day before , for profesionality i mean", but if you guys are at the end of the days the ones participating, and it“s for common good and game improvement, i think we should think about it.
Youāre right
because they're locked in
What happend with this part š
i'd be down, turn it into a wheel spin
Emphasis on the end
I didnāt know people think it would be so ānot funā
Even better question
Yeah, and theyĀ“re gonna have a "good time" by being on the final and not being eliminated by MR Kukaraph 424 that took a lucky shot on 2nd position on first roulette game š¤£
Well I was excited for today lol
Gonna go drink coffee just woke up thanks for the insights
today part seems cool. but tommorow....
but u don't have to attach urself to the tournament, if we're giving feedback to change it it doesn't mean u fucked up anything it just means we value competivness more
i don't ask for much. just give me behemoth aug and shield before round 8 for tomorrow game1
Put some candles and watch some Hindu dance tutorials on Utube.
that helps a lot š
Where can I register for toms tourna?
no registering, you just play ladder
being in top-16. or play today qualyfications
Currently top 17 aha
Top 16 is already locked anyways
i think for top-16 invites already send
If anyone wonders im coolguy21
Hahaha
Change my name now to lumot
Invite me if someone skips im rank 17
2 hour event with bigest prize pull. not sure someone skip this lotery
So, seriously Rich, isn“t there a possibility in changing tomorrow “s event system? all you have to do is make that first game where top 2 go final, into 2 games where top 4 advance.
It will only take 45mins + from tomorrow“s time and i know all players will agree.
it's not feasible to change tomorrow bro the players already expect something, the organizers as well, you have people who scheduled around it, you can change the next ones
So if someones skips im the next one!
you can qualify there's a 4 hour window for the last 16
Working right now haha. Sad no time to play for the next 6 hrs
Very limited to play only got 101 total games š„¹
Anyway goodluck to the participants then!
I really have the time to qualify today, and perhaps i will for the fuel. But tomorrowĀ“s gonna make me regret it š
All participants will get rewarded?
I loled
yeah, if u make it to tomorrow you “ll get fuel.
I believe you were 19th during the snapshot
Oh yeah the last snapshot
Unfortunately theres no one to manage, host or advise on the competitive scene
Rich with his already 99 different hats takes it on and did what he could last minute
Im grateful that we still have a tournament, but this format is 1/10 at best and like hollow pointed out yesterday it would take just one more game to make it x3 better. Looks like it is what it is for this one and they dont have time anyway
As the team doesnt have ressources to hold tournaments i suggested them to outsource it to a community organizer/host
I also pushed to have an esports committee couple months ago to overview and advise the team on the competitive scene so that things like this couldnt happen. It took long to implement but the nominations are finally happening right now we should have an esport committee advising the team before the next ilv tournament š
But right now 17
DonĀ“t feel bad, i was 13th and dropped because i didnĀ“t knew about the tournament.Started to try some fancy shit on ranked and now iĀ“m like 21 š¤£
I saw you haha. You place 15th then went to 22 last day
yeah, no big deal, MMR just a number š
Me Brew and and teckson were fighting before snapshot for the 20th place
it“s to go bulwark (which i deeply refuse, or the killer monkeys) or pray to a Mayan God for Godly augs...
Hollow 7earth or 5 bulwark behemoth HAHA
i've not hit a behemoth in like a hundred games
When I see the behemoth coming I just start to cook some rice and afk
Best part is i tested some good comps and learned a lot. I feel more prepared for next patch.I guess -200 score was the price to pay, but i don“t really regret it. I“m playing with a more open mind and countering better. So no big deal.
bro next patch is still the same meta you just add on top of it
I tried using the 5 bulwark its nor for me really. 7-8th place were the price for it
i mean, this is my first month with arena, there were some weapons / aug / comps you need to see on the field vs really good players to learn
Had fun experimenting too. Found a good playstyle to play
not refering to meta, just knowledge which i hadn“t before
Iāll try to get to 2/10 for next tournament guys
1 game extra makes it 5/10
Damn ok so maybe I hit 5 next time
Anyway if someone got sick or not available. Dm me up for invitation im avialable. First tourna if ever

Will all games that end after 17 utc count? So If I start a game at 16:30 and it ends 17:05 I can get points already?
Yeah i think they said games that started before 17utc count .
Yes as long as they start in the window
do surrenders count?
as in they don't count for tickets/15 games/fuel is it the same for points?
Test Net casual?
You mean if youāre in 4th and you surrender
I think we can differentiate, but I donāt think itās that much of an issue with the format of playing more games. But ideally no surrenders donāt count as itās just a dumb way to end games
but how you can know, if player surrender or not, if you just have results of every game with positions
previous time noone check it
Previous time wasnāt an issue
so - surrender not allow?
can just sell board for faster end
Will we lose points for bottom 4?
Says in the rules
i don't go to parties that costs money
just whanna understand and clear rules.
aren't you guys all set already?
now trying to game the qualification rounds?
š
Right lol
to not let other get in
Thatās what Iām asking myself
How many hours left before quali?
Hollow trying to figure how to exploit the rules when heās already locked in lol
ye im just trying to help viper
1.5
He is literally in the next room Rich.
do we need to do anything for the Sin n Go phase? or just play ranked games within the 4 hour window?
the sin n go
Are you playing?
It was early I really dont mind guys, I understand its a 1/10 for the pros here, but maybe its a 5/10 for the regular grinders and maybe your format is a 1/10 for them. Peter and I will have a thread for you guys to discuss future tournament plans, as well as trouble shooting issues with hosting and scheduling. Also as Patate mentioned the Esports committee will be coming as well which will help provide insights from esports professionals that I'm sure will align more with the pros ideas here. So although this 1/10 tournament may not be that much fun /fair for you guys it sets the ground work for future illuvium tournaments. So lets have a great time and good luck.
How many games needed? Do you guys record all the games during that time? No need screenshot from us right?
well yea that's why i keep bringing up competitivness and the wheel, if you're not the best player you obviously prefer playing as few games as possible that gives you the highest chance at prizepool, opposite for the best players, end of the day it's just balancing competitive and placement variance
like if we had this tournament every day then hell yea i'd take ur format every day, but when it's once in a while it feels atrocious to eat a random lowroll that decides the whole tourney
just don't take it so serious.
needs to have no money for that KEKW
money is all part of your mind
don't think about it, so you not upset so much when not win. same for this raffles
you dont need it
only part
lol
i like the raffles, those are supposed to be just luck so it's nothing wrong with them
any news about leviathan? it's already 4 week. in anounce says 4-5 week.
do we see Levi LB soon?
and it's really good for non top3~ players to have something big to play for
there was a scoriox chat with kieran today it's probably not coming very soon
he said they don't wanna fuck up the queues
i feel this turney like 1 more raffle. not like tournament for skill check
but patch i think is coming live after tournament
not coming very soon, sound like - "not in this month"
well he didn't give a time horizon i think, he just said they don't wanna fuck up the queues
imo best play if there's players is you reset ladder next week and then 1 or 2 weeks after u get leviathan online
ussualy - soon, mean 2-3 week. and if they say not soon. oh. it's can take 1-2 month
yes but the soon is from me not from him
i think basically there's no chance it comes in the next 2 weeks
even if ranked reset. and levi+ranked start at same time - just grind 1 month, and got in top for both
3rd week from now could be possible could be not
ye but u don't want to have them start at the same time
u want to give people the chance to climb first on one 1 week then on the 2nd one
i don't care. i'l spend more time for more perspective. then catch up at other
ye im not saying YOU don't want them to start same time, i'm saying in general
cuz you have the risk of everyone's playing the normal ladder on first week and you legit stuck with 6 people not finding a queue in levi
rating should reset every week. so no "time limit" to grind.
you're discouraging half the playerbase from playing again with a system like that
when you have x4 rewards for levi - i'm sure, you can find game
when everyone have chances get good place every week. and not only at start of 2 month season - you will see how people will play.
now - i see that que time again sometimes around 600-800sec.
and most of players just seat at their rating. +-some fights for top-10-20.
i'm not say i feel bad - i have just play 15 games. but to made active LB and game - it's strange not reset for week 5.
Did the time change? I was sure i read 19:00 UTC
yeah thats in 45 mins
time did not change
But now its 17:00 UTC, maybe my bad but i remember seeing 19:00 UTC and for tomorrow 23:00 UTC but now its 19:00
what?
Maybe when you shared before it was public, idk
lol
yeah i changed after i shared with you guys in the tournament channel
based on kierans availability
and it not being 3 am on sunday for him
that's the best time for 2nd wind to hit
he needs his first wind based on his play lately
Are you playing?
Of course
May the best man win
Or qualify
Idk Iam just going to play for 4 hours and see how it goes
When on the time estimate will mobile arena come? most bullish
Unknown
why is noone in queue? Games count that start now right?
yes
u didn't just miss a game?
@lyric flint are you in tomorrow?
@ivory saddle you in tomorrow
ah now it fills. Just have to complain xD
why do games now count?
finish time
oh lol
@gilded idolare you AmoMinhaMulher
0,5/10 rules now 
no it's better u finish earlier
Yeah, Iāll be there
soon 0
1.1/10 in my eyes now
I guess, but would have qued up already then
how does it work, we just finish ranked games
that“s it?
it's kinda fine i doubt u'll miss by 1 game
ye they just track with api
but probably means also games that finish after :00 won't count
yeah
Yes
yeah just play ranked, get top4 for points within the timeframe
person with more points at the end get in finals
ok boss
idk, maybe
idk why people are complaining... could be worst, could be playing at 3am -.-
3am is the fun time
Are you counting yet?
Hope it does. Got fatal error on this Game , and no reconnect option . Guess this is a sign.
to not let other get much points
i see, is the que fast? i find match 8/8 already hahahaha
how many are already in before you find match? like 5/8?
2/8
Seems like lots of people are playing maybe people from rank 21-50
only 26 ppl in discord. and i think around same not in voice
is it required to be in discord or nah. I just got home to participate in sit n go
I thought we just need to play ranked?
I also thought there will be low queue times during this time window.. even have 5+ minutes now
So you need to be in top 4 to get points for the tournament?
And are the already qualified 16 taking away the spots then within a match? I wouldnāt want to have that
can i just jump in and play? is this a seperate points tracker for this time period? do i need to stream or can i just play normally?
How come this new line up pure air only come this sit n go hahahaha wth
yup, just start playing Ranked mainnet (we calculating scores automatically)
no need to stream today, but tommorow yes
from 2/8 into start in 90 sec
maybe I was just unlucky. Since the event started I spent 15 minutes waiting for 2 games xD
@gilded idol hey you are already qualified for tomorrow i think
is time limit like end game or start game limit?
thats a very poorly formulated question but i think you know what i mean
we are half way there 
the time of starting game matters, so you can start minute before 21:00 and the game will still count
i can't find myself here.
can we get score for all people who play at the end?
you will not be on this one, script removes ppl who are already in from ranked LB
yes! i changed my nickname yesterday
yeah you are qualified for tomorrow
are you going to be there
lets gooo 
how do i get qualified and why no anouncement
By Top16 in 4-hour competition
All info was announced here - #š£ćannouncements message
@zenith mortar if the game starts at 2 minutes before ending will it still be counted?
okay thanks hahaha im at 0 points atm hahahaha
hard to play on my timezone its 3 in the morning hahahaha
you may be in anyways, you are next in line if we do not manage to contact SteigenHYPE
we play on similar timezone but i think he will participate ofcourse but thanks on the info
One hour left 
end already?
as long as it starts within the window? or end within the window?
start
cool, thanks
3 games. 3 templar weapon before round 15. which delivery weapon service you use @hollow orbit ?
I don't count this game, if I had counted it would be 21 points now
Guys gogogogo ranked

come come come
@dark scaffold can i see rankings now sit n go
(but those are not final yet, all active games still counts, so we wait for them to finish)
Thank you didn't know you we're live streaming
dang, ggs
dang did not know that. Could have started one more xD was like 15 min left
I went from 0 points last 1 hour to 16 points before ending lol hope i make it to top 16 hahahah Viper only played this week and got higher than us hahaha
is it predict for tomorrow?
it's not over yet
seems you go out from grp into finals. unlucky for Whity.
whity probably rather plays in group 1 than 3 too
but there's still games going before final standins
i mean look on positions 1-2 in every grp. it's seems who and which place got š
2 stage 2 weapon before round 15 - my order.
ok u get wildfire
no no. weapon i need. who play wildfire in 2025?
and we have the list for tomorow's Finals 
(subject to change if someone do not show up)
Congrats to the 16 people who qualified
You earned 3500 guaranteed fuel š„³
they should've made the fuel 1/3 chance to get for everyone
and spin the wheel live for all 32 players if they get it or not
much /respect for @spring basin who didn t push hard into every game he could during this qualification session coz he didn t need it, you are the true legend ser.
Congrats and good luck to everyone that made it to tomorrow! Well played!
Do you know how impactful AS, MS and AD are on the Tiktalik line now? @topaz lake
I'm also wondering if piercing makes you only ignore resistances or also mitigation and "Damage reduction" items
Haha, thanks Quants š I was already through, so I didnāt see a reason. It wouldāve just been unfair to the people I matched with. Also, I donāt play much in the evenings.
You are one of a kind, and i mean it...really.
You did good ye..but we are talking bout real men here, sorry pal
Donāt see you in top 16 ser
Yes
Nice
Is it correct that Knockdown Stage will start in about 20 hours from now, and the top 2 will advance to the finals after just 1 play?
And the data is telling me Rich got lucky! 
Wrong
No Rich Noo Nooo.....
I was really in, becaue the tie break by avg score
but i told them they could leave me out because i have to host
Just kidding Rich your like Diamond 3 so 2 354
Never, you the only Mod Standing now
we know in our hearts
i made it
@west plume we may have to start mod training classes for you guys
Cant have mods out here embarassing us
Just spent the entire game trying to build a Ryplance - not even a single Rypter amongst any other opponent and no success. What is the issue here? Is the game just bugged? Does the team know what the issue is and is a fix coming?
what level did you roll down and how many did you end up getting?
possibly super unlucky or maybe there is still the bug that takes a sold illuvial a round or 2 to go back to the pool
I spent the entire game trying for it from like round 5 - but most rolling was at the 35% level. Used my entire gold hoard efficiently, was having a strong game... ended up with 8 base units.
In my opinion, it's bugged somehow. If it's unlucky, then it's a game design issue. It shouldn't be possible to be this unlucky.
right, yea maybe bug but for what its worth id save till round 12 than go 7 and roll there
maybe lvl 6
ty
better odds and more econ to reroll
maybe you say uh? š gm btw
gm haha. Im actually not sure if this bug still exists
ive had no issue, other than with weapons
š , not on my side
7/8
I find this incredible.
gathering for fusion š
but 1 is missing... @ashen mango doesn't accept my offer yet
$15 and it's yours š
š¤
Do the Testnet Crates with Affinities have random loot, or is there a higher chance of getting the Affinities that you already have on the board?
Thanks @safe valve you gave me an idea š
I was desperetaly looking for a perfect Ghazotep for a decent price
buying lower stagees and do a fusion is here and there way cheaper than trying to offer for s3
For T1 to T3 probably
For T4 and T5 I don't think so
t5 not even really for sell for a human price
try buying a rhamphyre or a titanor with decent stats
Actually there's an amazing Rhamphyre that has been bought for $50 recently
@frank moon finds amazing deals
looking since months for a rhamphyre or lower stages for fusions
dmtg is a godlike sniper indeed
Actually it was sold for $90-$100 rather but still insane
rip
i wish i had seen that
You should be good with a good T3 run and a lot of ringnuts
And it's already lvl 60
ya
for that lvl even more extremely cheap š
exp so expensive now
Actually I just realized that I tried to buy this ramphyre something like 6 months ago but the holder hadn't capitulated yet at that time xD
yeah... that happened so often to me...
or he sold after month to a guy for 1$ more than i offered š
I feel you
I was looking for a perfect lynx for a long time and one day I see that Rikki sold his 30/30 lynx for $20

Oh great šš
Show us the fuse result.
On another topic, do we get raffle tickets for testnet or only for main?
Only for main
Mainnet 6/8
Did you get into a game? I was in the queue, but it got canceled for me.
Yes, playing now
Am I in it? Not sure what happend with my que
No you aren't in.
Weird that happened to you.
Oh good! I was scared I would lose like 70 points or something 
That would be awful. It's been weird today. I got stuck at 4/8 forever again too. Cancelled and had to reload to get a game.
thanks @ashen mango š
didn't expect full stats....
ma best fusion so far since the overhaul tbh... it's not a worst case fusion š
He is incredible! Congrats

A question with ranked arena how come you cant see the other players ranking score?
To protect the privacy of those of us who have low scores.
Do ranks ever get reset? Mine is embarrassingly low, lol
It got reset before the rewards started.
Maybe if they do some other kind of reward thing or maybe not until game goes out of Beta? Not sure. Resigned to just trying to claw back up to over 1200...again.š¤£
@zenith mortar can 2 testnet codes for me and my friend please
how many games later for each participants?
Semi is bo1 top 2 advance, final bo1.

1 game for top 9-32, 2 games for top 1-8? omg hahahaha
@zenith mortar where do u type the codes in?
found it
under your account
thanks
Yeah that's right! It will hopefully change for the next one š
wish granted, 8 lobbies top 1 qualify for the final
Haha don't scare me like that 
finals format is bo5 game 5 positions are final standings
@zenith mortar do we join any voice channel for the tournament?
starts in 45mins right?
hi
Join voice chat
surely next patch adaptive is not dealing pure dmg right?
after playing a bit, the fact you can hit +1s and others get "normal" augment or unuseable? +1s, also kinda crazy
it's a complete joke, hit one augment get in guaranteed if u're not griefing, while others are playing with basically 0 augments the whole game, when they talked about components coming i thought they knew this too but it seems they just straight up don't get how they're supposed to work
This final match literally had 4 broken augments. With 2 being used on the same team, they could think about banning this.
i mean u made finals because u rolled the broken augment, they could think about playing their game cuz if anyone in the team tried to climb for 1 day this would've been hotfixed the 2nd day
and turning it from autowin for someone if rolled into autoloss cuz u have 3 picks instead of 4 is even worse
Triple adaptive not enough to win a game must not be that broken lol
Obviously itās very good though
you griefed your spot and took me out with u 
The Gauntlet Grinders V is calling.
60 ILV at stake.
Answer the challenge.
Qualifications start Monday May 5 00:00 UTC
96 hours dynamic leaderboard.
Compete in Ranked matches for the Finals.
Daily snapshots show where you stand.
Top 8 will play the Final (Friday May 9 20:00 UTC)
If nefer played 5 bullworks it would have been so easy
and i had literally 0 items the whole game so i had no other spot
but in ur spot i legit think im top 2ing 90 out of 100 going bulwarks
But he went for mud, not so great
But in all games played today, top2 had damage reflection and/or blightfire
This game is really not allowing for skill expression but RNG gods
blightfire is a balanced item compared to adaptive
You got 6 grilla naturally?
ye
So much luck
what do u mean
my best item the whole game was the clumsy one
i'm trading my spot with urs every single time
in my head u never go for earth with no natural grillas if u hit adaptive cuz it gives u 10 winstreak on just a 2 star grokko
I only got second place because you guys competed in Earth, the day before I had thought about sending a message in the group, saying someone has to sacrifice themselves to stop Earth from Web3, I didn't comment and in the end what I had thought happened, thanks Hollow. lol
and u easily get the sear cap
adaptive + bulwarks is the easiest play there is literally
blightfire do dmg in any team, and don't have 12sec before start doing dmg
but blightfire doesn't give u 10 winstreak for free
I had natural grilla and clearly commited earth from round 5 you made the choice to join
i had 2 grillas 2 aapons on my 2nd pvp round
the game is just dogshit is the bigger problem
He didn't play bulwark with it
i hope we got patch before monday on live. so we can enjoy grinders event, and not play agains random
5 bw + adaptive was really an easy bet
also u had the least bulwark players i've ever seen in this lobby
strange that Psycho not build behemoth. vs nefer team. only Furyz have 3 bears
but also if u have dogshit items u have no other play so there is literally nothing else i can do
My internet went down twice. My game had started perfectly, and I accumulated a sequence of losses. And in round 16 it went down again, and GMphoenix only put up 1 ranger and held a Phorus and a Rai with Templar. I still can't understand that. It took me about 20 seconds to take down the ranger.
5 games final again?
yes
god's work
I was also hoping youād drop out way earlier and I could finish the grilla but we both lasted too long
hopefully we will play the new build (maybe)
so it will be really fun with the regions and stuff
this doesn't work for grilla, only for 3rd mud, if u're not accelerated midgame it's already over
It would have got me another few rounds for sure which is what I needed to hit everything else
ye but it doesn't matter cuz u can't cap high enough to top 2 contested
the whole point of the build is u don't lose the whole stage midgame and then u cap it with 5 costs
and it's literally only grilla that does that
Iām talking about capping it with 5 costs
like it's unlucky circumstances for sure but you had a consistent option with bulwarks
as in gun to my head need to top 2 in my spot i have to play for earth, swap spots with u i'm always going bulwarks in that spot
Swap spots with you Iām not suiciding earth when someone clearly commited and with adaptive to help him last way longer than me
i would roll slightly at 5 see if i roll a bunch of grillas, pick up mystic weapon but if by 2 rounds of slowrolling i didn't hit im bulwarks
it's suicide to not go earth in my spot cuz it's the only thing that can get carried by units with no items
and also i had 4 grillas and stage 3 lynx when ur board still played a 1 star grilla
honestly actually i should've typed
I had stage 2 grilla way before round 11
actual 1 thing to improve
I can see why you still went earth though
i don't want to but literally the game's decided for me i don't get other options
earth still can play without roll stage-3 units, you have options
for top-1, depend of weapons you got
in any decent tournament format it would've been fine honestly
like on ladder this game's still a top 4
Yea I went 7-8 relatively early for this but found 1 pho the whole game
honestly this game was just complete aids, any decent item i'm in premium spot, find synalph i'm in decent spot, instead i face the literal only 1 guy that kills me before pve
Yea unlucky. Also unlucky we both really like earth and in same lobby haha
i don't like earth, i would never play it if i could choose
the game just likes to give me terrible items 1 in 2 games
not remember i hit grilla early
and then give me autowins the other times
Donāt you play it all the time
because the game gives it to me not because i want to
