[hot pond]

yea, the power ascent legendary is useless

[high snow]

20 seconds seems like a stretch 😄

[valid stirrup]

And when i said this people how didn’t playing that much on the main net just voted

It is opinion of course but we want to make sure it will be enjoyable and fun the game , that i play dota

[arctic steppe]

i'm afk in some1 lobbiy?

my game just full bugged

[hot pond]

But I played some matches on testnet and the health thing wasnt that noticeable to me. Or how was it for you?

[high snow]

All games on testnet seemed fine to me

[hot pond]

Yea to me as well

and the funny thing is, they nerfed everything which should in theory reduce dmg but instead units die 10x faster 😄

[summer frigate]

cant grab the item lol

[summer frigate]

@worn tree

[worn tree]

Hmmm, never saw an item in that position. Did it just spawn there Zadkiel?

[sinful hornet]

when my bench fills with an item doing the animation of coming to the bench (on previous patch) they end up in all kind of spots, if this is what happened there

[worn tree]

Perfect thx

Pls, keep voting here

[viral marsh]

most synergy not work if fight end in 10-20 sec.
templar? - usseles, especialy after nerf, steal 3-10 resist, then die/fight end.
invoker? - doing 1 cast, then fight end.
if plan was made rogue/vanguard/rhamphy good again - that work

same with augs which stack over time

[muted iris]

7/8

[hot pond]

literally the worst patch for me

its just a 10 second rogue bingo

Whole lobby is going for rogue stuff only. Got 4th place with behemoths and 3 WF and 3 templar.

[summer frigate]

Rogues and corner comps are definitely unhealthy for the game. Both require minimal skill and create a frustrating experience, especially in mirror matchups.

[viral marsh]

ranger which start with 80% energy, and 1 shot with omega seems balanced

[tawny dove]

Balance in this patch is so off. How did this go through testing and to live, seems so rushed. Apart from the rewards hunters, many of us will probably just wait with playing until next patch if this aint fixed quickly.

[hot pond]

100%. Literally my worst experience with the game ever

And they wanted to have the tournament on this patch 😂😂

[summer frigate]

Maybe they could do a hotfix increasing the hp/resistance and go from there

[hot pond]

Like come on if a jotun gets one shot by a random psion cast it’s absurd. Before invokers needed 2 or 3 cast stacks before they could do that

[hot pond]

Testnet wasnt even that bad. Dont know how it ended like this now

[sinful hornet]

but the patch notes wouldn't explain that happening at all, there's legit no tankiness changes in there

[viral marsh]

in Testnet you have 3 weapons which was much better that other. i think they rework them, but no.
we got this OP weapons in live. and if you not got 1 of them at start, it will be much harder play

[sinful hornet]

and psyon dmg or something else didn't increase either

[viral marsh]

octius which 1 shot at 4 psion buff, with some omega power augs.

[worn tree]

I think the fact that we made health bars longer and we nerfed the last standing bastion of the tank meta made the fights more snappier and the feel of health bar depletion is playing a trick on our mind.

That being said, fights are a bit too fast now, it's a common sentiment. We will proceed and increase tankiness across the board by a bit, maybe add 5 resistance and a bit of HP on all units. And potentially decreasing the attack a bit.

Also nerfing octius, it indeed deals far too much damage

I think it's the only psion being too strong

[viral marsh]

ranger not so strong? xD

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[worn tree]

Will see about each particular weapon in the future, it's less than 1 day into the patch. We will focus on the common feedback first.

[viral marsh]

so x4 dmg of any other units thats fine?

[hollow citrus]

That's not what he said ...

[viral marsh]

in testnet that was same, but it's come to live as i said before. you have 3-4 weapons which x2-3 better that other

[twilit storm]

sorry @worn tree but no trick on our mind, the timer never lies...fights last way too faster than the testnet build. cope with that.

[twilit storm]

so what is the trick on our mind

eli5

testnet was good

and way too faster is not a bit too fast eh, just saying

[hot pond]

why couldnt we just copy the testnet build i dont get it

[twilit storm]

indeed

[hot pond]

everyone was looking forward for testnet patch to drop on mainnet

[twilit storm]

why last sec things (not tested)

why let us test something that doesn t go to main net

[native mauve]

Because they tried to improve on the feedback that they received...but then it lead to other issues

Pretty sure there were heaps of complaints on testnet as well...just sayin

[twilit storm]

no deno

sentiment was pretty good on testnet

you improve and test on testnet..you do not test a thing and deliver another

[bronze spire]

the community asked for testnet to just go mainnet haha

[native mauve]

Yeah I gotcha but I can see what they tried to do...just answering the why

[bronze spire]

also only day 1. 90% of patches complains on day 1 change during the week

[hot pond]

What’s the sense of testnet if we got a 100% different experience now on Mainnet

[twilit storm]

@bronze spire ok..must be something that tricks our mind

[bronze spire]

testing features

[twilit storm]

why changing on the fly from testnet to main net

what is the meaning of "testnet" then

[sinful hornet]

how did u "nnerf the tank meta" , there's kinda nothing in the patch notes about this

[hot pond]

It wasn’t even a tank meta anymore

[bronze spire]

im guessing balance changes they wanted to make and patch dropping is good opportunity. Eg i thought all the composite nerfs were needed which was good. Dont get me wrong, a lot needs to change seems quite off so far

[sinful hornet]

ye u played 1 bulawrk sometimes 3 in 1-2 comps per game, the rest played 1 or 0

[hot pond]

Only with bulwark chips you actually had more bulwarks

[bronze spire]

ive only done 1 game

[sinful hornet]

air might've given fake tankiness, but fighters with 0 bulwarks were durable so "tank bastion" doesn't explain faster fights unless u either pushed changes that u forgot to put in the patch notes, or straight up changed numbers without even meaning tto

[bronze spire]

but i got 1st with 5 bulwarks

and beat rogues and water steam

[hot pond]

Then you didn’t have a good octius opponent one shotting your shit

[bronze spire]

havent seen that yet haha

[hot pond]

Or a ranger doing 20k dmg

[bronze spire]

saw nil say they need to nerf it tho

[hot pond]

With the gun

[bronze spire]

yea seen ranger 1 shot

[hot pond]

The only really tanky units I had just now were the mammut with 3 harbinger and ranger with granite harbinger. Had 3 tank augments including a legendary on the mammut tho. Other bulwarks were like paper

[native mauve]

i played a couple games yesterday i thought the game as a whole felt even better then testnet. Obviously the balance is just no good with the adjustments

At least no more air meta lol

[hot pond]

air wouldnt even be an issue anymore with easier access to fatesealer

[worn tree]

Nature, empaths and tank meta units like Elk, Shoebill, Sloth and Komodo Dragon got nerfed. And we buffed aggro units like Pterodactyl, Moth and Taipan (Scoriox)

That was a direct hit on those units, which were dominating and made the fights slower

[sinful hornet]

but these units only affected the very end of the curve, like in colossus with 50 second fights, (besides ador), fighters vs fighters with just 1 tank still took a while to resolve

[severe steeple]

worst balance patch ever!

[sinful hornet]

and it doesn't explain psyons who tickled for 10%-15% hp prepatch killing jotun in 1 cast (if this is true)

[vivid stirrup]

Thank you everyone for the feedback. Please keep in mind that this wasn't a balance patch per se—it introduced major gameplay changes, and it was expected to throw off the balance quite a bit.

Rest assured, the team is already working on the next balance patch, and I believe we’ll have better balance than ever very soon.

Make sure to play plenty of Testnet and share your feedback while patches are still in the testing phase—this helps ensure more stable releases to Mainnet.

Since the team had to cut QA, we as a community can really make a difference by testing and providing feedback.

We’re also exploring more dedicated focus groups to improve communication between the community and the team from the council side, and discussions are already underway on how to make that happen.

[severe steeple]

It's not the same balance as it was on testnet. I've played a lot of games on testnet, and it wasn't a rouge massacre as it is now!

[sinful hornet]

ye but testnet didn't have any balance changes i think

[ashen mango]

We are on Halcyon Sea and the bot is winstreaking 😂

[severe steeple]

is anyone still playing testnet? We got the same version on mainnet, right. or is there a different one on testnet ?

[vivid stirrup]

yeah nah only mainnet at the moment, nothing to test yet ^^

[twilit storm]

so why you are suggesting to keep playing testnet

[severe steeple]

I got my phosphorus killer bird 1 sec too late😖 i had an arcenite imprint and still 20 gold. we need more time!!!

[hot pond]

bonding resets when the illuvial evolves. really bad in endgame when you find something last second

[fallen vortex]

Yeah @worn tree this one is the most annoying. I remember when it was 100x worse. But if we can add more QoL to moving and swapping Illuvials around, you'd really feel it.

[worn tree]

We have something in the works for this

[worn tree]

Is this happening to you consistently?

[fallen vortex]

I had this every single time, in testnet. Also after equipping new weapon amplifiers and suit amplifiers

if the game could have a short term memory it'd be good. Eg if I am bonded to Grilla and I take my Grilla off to reset Augments then re add it shortly after. It should auto bond back.

[worn tree]

Yes, on testnet it happened and we introduced a fix. If this is still happening we didn't fix it fully.

[hot pond]

I would say so yes

[fallen vortex]

i am gonna play my first mainnet in like 10 mins

[worn tree]

There's a patch on its way

We will:

• Reduce attack damage of all units by 5.

• Increase resistance of all units by 5.

• Increase health of all units by 100.

And also a nerf on Octius Omega Damage.

[hot pond]

Has there been a change in those values now comparing the previous patch to this?

[worn tree]

No, otherwise we would have shared

Everything that changed was stated in the balancing patch notes

[hot pond]

but why is it that octius omega feels so oppressive now with no change towards those values?

either octius got way stronger or units got weaker in hp and res

both werent in patch notes tho

same applies to rhamphite. I see in patch notes that only the energy cost got reduced. No dmg increase. Previously it wasnt able to one shot tanks or a phosphorus so consistently

[bronze spire]

no one playing 5 bulwark and empath nerf, also fortress nerf. Not sure if that explains it though

[hot pond]

I did try with 5 bulwark, even had 2 behemoths and got wrecked by octius / rhamphite omegas. Even phosphorus died to some normal psion hits. Previously you needed invoker stacks for that

[bronze spire]

hmm true, so suggesting something not intended has changed or a bug?

[hot pond]

I feel like all units got either res & hp down or dmg up for some units idk

[sinful hornet]

i mean this is very easy to test, do hp values in the tourney last patch correspond to live now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MXVj9v2xf4

[hot pond]

i also notice this that lynx isnt even needed anymore in early game

because all units do crazy dmg

[sinful hornet]

ok found this on tourney, what is it on live?

no relevant drone augments

[hardy minnow]

Gauntlet Ranked currently disabled?

[raven obsidian]

yay i won a game, finally!

[west plume]

[supple beacon]

[hardy minnow]

arena is disabled for me, if anyone have a fix let me know thanks, both casual and ranked, yes I did, I even press surrender, my last game was 20 hours ago

[languid sparrow]

Gratz!

[raven obsidian]

thats neat! where do you find that info?

[languid sparrow]

It's on my personnal projet illuviVault under developpement

[hardy minnow]

I'm playing from epic games client, not sure if thats gonna help

[west plume]

||Ask Linkky when its coming out||

[west plume]

Have you tried to reverify the illuvium game Files in Epic?

[warm isle]

Octius too strong lol it aim the farthest now

[violet summit]

I just played my first game in mainnet and saw this happen. However I didn't evolve the illuvial that was bonded. It simply reset the bonding, probably after the caroussel (not sure) and I played a couple rounds without bonding. Only after loosing one round I realized something was off.

Regarding the fast fights, I 100% subscribe what others have mentioned and the game feels off rn
I played testnet and the experience was not the same. Something is different on this mainnet version

[twilit storm]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmmm-homer-simpson-eyeroll-gif-13185781

[void dust]

Something changed that I didn't read in the patch notes.

[worn tree]

Could be that, on ascention and amplifier selection I keep the bonding always. Will explore what you said of carousel.

[twilit storm]

The reason behind going first on testnet was to avoid main net "surprises". Now pls explain why the testnet build differs from the one you push on main, thx.

[hot pond]

So I was checking last match and I kept the bonding this time through evolving. Need to see if it happens after carousel or with other instances. But I still believe it sometimes drops the bonding with evolving

[uncut comet]

for me its the same after evolving sometimes

[hot pond]

drop bonding after evolving?

[uncut comet]

jub

[hot pond]

then it seems to be a bug if it applies to more people now

[hardy minnow]

I just tried to re-verify from epic games, re-login the game, still disabled all arena games 😦

[hot pond]

are composite chips in carousel available only in a certain round or full rng?

[hollow orbit]

If I spectate an enemy in the round immediately before the carousel, I will be placed outside the frame and will be unable to join the carousel. Also, once I am in this state, I will be unable to join any carousels thereafter.
@worn tree

[supple beacon]

I had the same thing while writing a ticket

[hardy minnow]

@west plume - can you look, it loads a different account name, my Account is MVPJuLs but upon entering it shows on a quick flash CuteLittleLynx#1234

[frozen tartan]

@worn tree #📣〕announcements message Thanks

[hardy minnow]

Arena is now working after the patch, thanks

[worldly token]

I was able to get 4 shock last game 🙂 solid 8th place

Game is just not long enough for the effect to do anything

[worn tree]

Let's see how it is now

[valid stirrup]

Showtime

[turbid osprey]

I had unbond happen after the carrousel

[void dust]

How did the ti'ru line just become straight broken?

[west plume]

It worked?

[hardy minnow]

the file verification didn't, but the patch from dev team fixed it hehe

[west musk]

5/8

[hot pond]

Patch feels much better now with the health change @worn tree

Also positive: The shop seems to "work" way better now in finding illuvials that you should find %-wise. Also if people get eliminated they seem to return correctly. At least it felt like that in the 8 matches that I did now. Getting to S3 illuvials is way more accessible now 👍

[dull wind]

is it just me or the composite chip never matches my team?

[hot pond]

Happens to all of us

[dull wind]

feels bad tbh

[hot pond]

you mean the chip from the box you get?

[dull wind]

no the 3 composite choices that appear

later in the game

[hot pond]

yea that should be from a box in round 20+

its not yet tailored to your team, dunno if thats gonna happen

[dull wind]

I think tailoring is coming

[hot pond]

I find composite chips in the carousel way more annoying

[worn tree]

There's tailoring incoming yes

next month

[worn tree]

Glad it feels that way

There's still a lot of work to do balance wise, please keep the feedback coming

---

Guys, if you move your bonded unit from the board to the bench, it loses the bonding. I think most of you know this but leaving this here just in case.

[cursive echo]

casual easy

[summer frigate]

I missed the carrousel for spectating another player and my ranger got unbonded on the last round, maybe it was because of that?

[languid sparrow]

How many augments can we game in one game ?
I see some game with 13 augments

[hot pond]

Can we maybe add the plus icon again to the ranger if there’s no bond? So instead of the bonded illuvial we show the big plus icon to know that bonding is available? It was like that in ascendant
Makes it more visible that there’s no bond

[zenith mortar]

or maybe the empty illuvial sillouette

this one

just put that little symbol in there when youre not bonded

here i concepted it out haha

[supple beacon]

I think it would be nice to have a small pop up text or animation when you unbound.
Sometimes I put a unit on the bench and right back to remove items, but I forget it was the bonded init.

[worn tree]

Yes, we are working on it 😄

[zenith mortar]

@uncut comet i told you noob lobby

besides @winged fox

[ashen mango]

Rogues got rekt 💀

[west plume]

Looks photoshoped

[zenith mortar]

Attention all Arena Players: Please if you can post your end game screen shots, so our game design team can easily/quickly visualise builds/meta/comps etc for balance purposes.

[languid sparrow]

Just saying — the Illuvium API already provides this data. So why doesn't Illuvium have an internal tool to support the design team with it yet?

I'd be happy to help if the goal is to accelerate the process and bring more efficiency to the team's workflow.

Going to touch some grass, brb

[zenith mortar]

We do

This is just a different method

[languid sparrow]

So it’s more for sentiment of the players

[west plume]

[ashen mango]

I’m not playing right now and none of those are my alts

[ashen mango]

Aren't you Sl1ckz? 👀

[zenith mortar]

Naw I sold that account to some noob

[west plume]

dumb game

[languid sparrow]

Is it normal that most all illuvial on your team get almost 3 augments ? Feel to much abondance

66% the team 6/9, have have 3/3 augments, is that normal ? .. just asking opinions here

[frozen tartan]

[wicked hedge]

how can the team that won beat my team.. ? Vanguard is totally broken

with the current patch.. its way too much RNG

Hyper is useless. Malura one-shots my team

[supple beacon]

I feel like there is too many augments as well. We have so many things to do.
My current feedback is that there is too much to do both in the fights and in between rounds. We will see if I am able to adapt, as this is just the beginning of the new patch, but I feel overwhelm.

At the same time kids nowdays need to have a constant wave of stimulation, maybe I am just too old

[rapid zenith]

I don't like this fixed weapon thing. At least you always had a chance before - now I just can't be arsed when I'm stuck wuth something I don't want

[wicked hedge]

I don’t like it as well, it introduces way too much RNG

[rapid zenith]

I pretty much check out

[valid stirrup]

To the Illuvium Team,

@worn tree @zenith mortar @umbral oracle , I just wanted to say—yesterday I felt a bit overwhelmed when I saw how different the game felt compared to the testnet. The testnet was smooth, and the transition caught me off guard. But today, you and the team really proved that you listened to us and understood what the issues were.

I want to sincerely thank you for the hard work you’re doing. Please keep going—we believe in you. That’s why we’re still here, playing, giving feedback (even when we’re frustrated), because we want the game to succeed, to be fun, and to be something we all understand and enjoy.

Thanks again for hearing us. You’re making something great.

[violet summit]

did he get 4 vanguad with the weapon?

if 4 vanguard + 3 frost + 3 revenant + 6 air with dodge, that can hurt even with hyper

[west musk]

I'll say I like this patch the best... encouraging dynamic comps feels better than a one way show

5/8

[violet summit]

can someone explain this

hyper is doing nothing

against nature? lost too

is fire just bad? 😄

[ashen mango]

It's been bad for a while now

[violet summit]

@worn tree please BUFF fire units, its ridiculous to be 5th in this lobby with 4 magma, 3 phantom and decent augments
lost both fights against AIR and Nature...

Scoriox had 400 att dmg with stacking att speed and that augment that converts DMG into energy dmg

not gonna touch fire ever again after this lol

[granite echo]

We both went after inferno phantom 😅
Didn't work well for any of us

[violet summit]

damn, whhat is this??

game bugged

what are the odds honestly

[violet summit]

@thick estuary this should be forbiden bro 😄

@worn tree true sight is immune to blind? from dust or krunk?

[thick estuary]

haha agree, also 2 aegis boosted him hard

[bronze spire]

right as they nerfed nature too lol

[ivory rune]

I would have taken that to the bank

[tropic forge]

I just won a game , and it didnt count the MMR. I guess it started before 00:00 and ended after and server is bugged. Will the MMR count after a while?
We´ve been with this reset bug like a lot of days already, pls, fix it.

[west musk]

4/8

[tropic forge]

@languid sparrow do you know if this last game scored? i just played and ended 2nd but no MMR.

[languid sparrow]

No MMR = ?

[tropic forge]

nope, like if the game didn´t exist.

it started before 00:00, i ended 2nd position, and i still have 1276 MMR, which i had before this game

[west musk]

this is becoming the doomed time to play /:

[languid sparrow]

1276 LB ... I don't have that number.

How many game did you played today ?

[tropic forge]

i can´t remember, but last game was with Orace, and a guy called Podpivasiq was 1st place. I was second place.

I had 1276 MMR , and still the same.

Kster is the nick im using right now.

[south geyser]

Hmmm...lobby sitting at 8/8

Thoughts?

[west musk]

yep

[tropic forge]

This happens everyday at reset time. Game will start eventually after 20-30mins +

[languid sparrow]

I have over 135 matches for today... you only appear once... and it was
"startTime": "2025-06-05 08:10 UTC
"endTime": "2025-06-05 08:50 UTC

[west musk]

same utc error

[tropic forge]

i have 8 games, and i think 9 with the one didn´t score.

[frozen tartan]

When in the first game the carousel was broken and my drone was off to the side, I thought it was a bug.
No big deal.
Then the second time — still no big deal.

Now a new match.
First time — carousel broken.
Second time — carousel broken.
Third time — carousel broken.

My drone was always on the left, and I wasn’t able to choose an augmentation.
This isn’t complaining — it’s stating a fact: we urgently need a hotfix for this bug.

[tropic forge]

anyway it seems it was on my side, because the guy that won 1st place has his score updated.

[south geyser]

Well, relaunched, and still error 400 matchmaking error is all that happens when I push the find ranked button

[tropic forge]

dont really know if it´s a new bug , or just bad luck

[thick estuary]

this exactly lobby, or "the game" in general?

[tropic forge]

The lobby will start and u need to reconnect. if u don´t u will enter the game as a ghost.

so the only workaround is to close the game from time to time and wait for the game to start.

at least in my experience, like 3 times, has been like that.

[turbid osprey]

Yes the elo comes after a while, this always happens around daily 00:00 UTC

[tropic forge]

@languid sparrow any chance to know what happened with this data ?

My leaderboard is matching illuvium LB so.... I don't know where you played those 7 more games ? Where they ranked games ?

[tropic forge]

yeah, of course they were ranked . I just changed my name after that first game. could be that the issue ?

[tropic forge]

if u enter the game right now i´m 33 on the leaderboard.

[languid sparrow]

Under what name did you played ?

[tropic forge]

@languid sparrow the game scored already

it seems it syncronices itself with the time the game after 00:00 starts

something happens behind the scene with the server and updates some minutes after 00:00

now i have 9 games , and my correct MMR.

[hot pond]

The time is still too less after the pve round with the invokers

And the bonding takes too much time. Especially when it stops with the slightest mouse movement. It was way easier with the plus icon and selecting the illuvial that you want to bond. Plus it was pretty much instant instead of those 3 seconds or whatever. @worn tree

[warm isle]

Yeah it got cancelled even though we put it at the ranger sometimes it load 3-5 times before it full

And the carousel? The one spinning I got bugged can't move my drone to take the units

And still got the ball from the pve battle stucked . Before it happened I press other people then i can never took it

[hot pond]

Bonding also disappeared after carousel round for me

[solid wadi]

I have the same issue. How are you supposed to move the drone anyway? Double click, right click???

[hot pond]

Right click normally

The same how you move your drone also on the Battle board to collect orbs

[warm epoch]

never realize casual games filled faster

this new arena format is way better imo

except I havent figured out how to select illuvials in the carousal round

[raven obsidian]

Casual games are typically against AI bots unless someone else queues for casual games at the same time.

During the carousel round, right click the mouse to move your drone to which illuvial you want. The door opens for your drone based on what position you currently are. E.g. last place means you get 1st pick of the carousel whilst being 1st means you get last pick. Hope this helps

[solid wadi]

Is there a guideline for these features as they move from testnet to mainnet? I mean we are not all testers

[zenith mortar]

It’s typically in the release notes yes

https://illuvium.io/news/arena-gauntlet-release-patch-notes-1-10-0

Thank you

But there is a known bug right now with carasouel they are working on

[solid wadi]

Ok thanks.. but it would be good to have in the guideline on how to react...first time it appeared to me, I was clicking everything...like trying to drag augments, drag illuvials around, clicking everywhere (other drones) opening stats and got frustrated as some illuvials disappeared and got into somebody else and then clicking and ending up with an illuvial I didn't want in the first place

It is not intuitive for somebody to see it first time

[violet summit]

I got 2nd. Got revenant chip so went 4 revenant, 3 dust 6 air
First place had 7 fighter with aegis and true sight. Ryplancer was doing 20k DMG alone

[warm isle]

They use Templar fighters?

[worldly token]

I hate rogues..

was so excited for this patch and now this rogue-fest

[worldly token]

carousel existing is the known bug 😄

[warm isle]

Rogue too strong can't do much

[viral marsh]

can someone explain me this dmg?

and dmg recieve. he not die

[valid stirrup]

Just check more , they are team what bit rogue

[viral marsh]

T1S2 unit. 15k dmg and tank 10k?

[valid stirrup]

Yes , i will do it any critical dmg that it is doing feal a 65 dmg around him that the revent do it

Read what revenant class do it

[open ibex]

fighting in the air

[valid stirrup]

New map , i don’t have this map

[valid stirrup]

Revent a bit brokem

[worldly token]

we have been there before.. was the worst patch 😄 it's been a while

[worn tree]

Yes

[viral marsh]

and when he replace item all fine

[valid stirrup]

That 2 augument it is give a 45 critical dmg , come bro 😎 i know you know

Rough it is back !

[viral marsh]

rifstriker augment broken, if stack 2. i'm sure problem in that

[valid stirrup]

Hmm that another story

🤣🤣

Happy Friday! Rough it is back

[viral marsh]

i win this game

but wtf?

[worldly token]

@worn tree had a bug in my game:
took a nature imprint in my very first crate (round 2) and then got a nature imprint as a drone augment - but I never got the second one.. I ended up with just one.

[worn tree]

The issue is tiru passive, it stacks ad for 5 seconds after takedown

This creates a death spiral in which it can be dealing 500+ attack damage per attack

Nerf inc

[worn tree]

Thx, investigating

[worldly token]

the drone augment came with a titan bloom (which I got) but the imprint did not show up

[worn tree]

Fixed internally, will come with next build deployment

[tight swift]

Hmm, aren't 3 Colossus and 3 Invoker+ good anymore?

[high snow]

you did quite well. I was struggling a lot against you

you are just lacking damage items

[tight swift]

Yeah, if I had better items on Octopus, I could've won—I didn't have trouble with rogue teams, so your Air was a problem, unfortunately. I fought you twice at the end

Let's say it was due to bad luck 😂

[worn tree]

Do you know what triggered this? Anything specific?

[open ibex]

It happened at the beginning of the game, then went back to normal after draft, maybe just loading problem

[violet summit]

I think so, not sure

[worn tree]

@tropic forge what's your nickname in game?

[tropic forge]

Kster

[flint nebula]

It seems you finished 2nd and got 13 points. Updated from 1276 to 1289.
I've found this in our logs:
Updating leaderboard for Kster with 1289

[flint nebula]

Podpivasiq won

[tropic forge]

Yeah, thx. i updated my situation here

it seems server takes like 45mins + after 00:00 ´s reset to update MMR if u are playing on a game that starts before reset and ends after it.

[viral marsh]

1 broken and other not?

[worn tree]

If you don't trigger the death spiral, of course

[viral marsh]

from start of combat his ti'ru doing x2 of my dmg

[ashen mango]

Insane @worn tree well played

[worn tree]

GG @ashen mango HAHAHAHAHA really cool game

My boy did not go down so easily 🤣🤣

[ashen mango]

This was a big boi

[worn tree]

Your Pterodactyl was a MELTER

1 cast, nuked 80% of my tank team

there are some balancing adjustments needed

[ashen mango]

I agree
Let's nerf Titanor 🤝

The Aqua Blaster reminds me of Caitlyn from TFT
This thing is a sniper riffle

[valid stirrup]

It didn’t have even phantom 😳

[hot pond]

It had the crit augment

[ashen mango]

No need with this item

[valid stirrup]

That him lose it

I mean if you have phantom
The dmg was big

I have rhamphyte and i do critical 7.6k

[ashen mango]

This item is better than phantom

Because it gives more OP and crit chance as well

Actually phantom gives OP but basically it's as if I had phantom

[valid stirrup]

Totally understand it i just i said if you have phantom was one shot everything

[worn tree]

Crazy

[worn tree]

True

It was a 100% crit cast

[warm isle]

I got all 3 star using rogue just delete everything in seconds

[languid sparrow]

Nil, take a look at the region distribution from the 39 matches played so far today

[valid stirrup]

I mean i understand that i just said if was phantom was a different storry

[vivid stirrup]

Lets not nerf ramphy into oblivion again pls 😄

[valid stirrup]

That a good point !

It is the main Illuvial it is a charizard on Illuvium word

[vivid stirrup]

and a nice counter to the hated corner positioning ^^

it's just such a black and white scenario, either it one shots and feels op, or it doesn't one shot and it feels bad

[ashen mango]

Why is the sample size so low?

[languid sparrow]

You mean the 39 matches ?

[ashen mango]

Yes

It's not enough to draw conclusions I think

[languid sparrow]

It's the daily report in fact

The use is not for analysing the data, it's only to show the data daily.

[ashen mango]

I love data, please keep screenshots coming! 😁 @languid sparrow

[hot badge]

I notice that FPS are way lower during the game and i didnt change configurations at all.
Also many bugs in game. Even the bug report window "B" its buggy and cant report from game.
Talking about gauntlet.

[fallen vortex]

SWYDR5

Casual Lobby, lets do this!

for the show

nvm go ranked

[worn tree]

There's a new hot fix patch incoming guys

[west plume]

@zenith mortar you have 1039 elo now?

[hot pond]

Will we be able to drop illuvials on board without the click again? I think this is what was changed unintentionally last time

[languid sparrow]

Pretty close only 1 game separing you from each other ?

[worn tree]

It's a balance patch.

To your point, tho, we are working on a system that allows to place illuvials, equip items and bond with click-drag-release.

This one is tricky to implement and we are unsure when it will be ready, but we will do our best to bring it to you guys.

This will make all the preparation phase actions less cluncky and more dynamic, essentially giving players back some valuable seconds.

[violet summit]

announcement soon?

[west plume]

Thank you Linkky

[worn tree]

Soon

[mighty tulip]

GG @noble geode that last round was very close 😅

lok at this... ti ru did as much damage as rhamphyre? this is first and second place. Would have thought I would do quite good with all the psion t5 xD

[violet summit]

Tiru had 100% crit chance and crit amp boosted
combined with 3 revenant, is very powerful

[vivid stirrup]

ti ru just got nerfed, guess thats the old patch?

[worldly token]

yes, but he is a t1 second stage

[worldly token]

game started before patch - hope this is fixed 😄

[violet summit]

I know, I beleive a patch is coming to nerf it

this should fix it @worldly token

[languid sparrow]

I did not see any update true my client and ingame it's still showing patch 1.10.0 vs 1.10.0a.
is this normal ?

[void dust]

It's upsetting how bad the game is right now.

[twilit storm]

pls be more precise, feedback is value but need some more words.

[dark scaffold]

balancing patches are usually server side only

[void dust]

At this point I've spoken for years about the issues and have long realized my opinion means nada. I just need to cut the cord and get over the sunk cost at this point. But, in respect to your wish Quants, here are some thoughts:

I mean we all know the issues... it's overly complicated and just keeps getting more overly complicated. Balance has almost comically eluded everyone who's ever worked for this company. The new carousel is just... lolbad. The bugs that we've had for years are still here. Connection issues, lag, performance issues - all still here - but hey we have a new comeback mechanic that wasn't needed at all and completely ruins any immersion a player may have felt and also offers no chance of a comeback, but hey the already too long games are now longer! yay.

Picking up those augment crates - LOL.

The new weapon system completely blows. Why? Lack of agency. Complete lack of agency. Last game my three choices were psion, psion, and psion. Every other player? 7 rogues. so naturally I finish last because I HAD NO CHOICE WHAT TO PLAY. This isn't difficult, but very clearly someone making decisions does not know wtf they are doing. That's been obvious forever, but we can't talk about it for... reasons. There is an issue. It must be discussed or it never gets fixed. The constant pushback to those who speak out is actually detrimental to the overall success of the project, not beneficial.

Games are too long, queues are too long, and fun is too short.

What's needed? Simplicity. The most important and perhaps most difficult part of making a game/series of games is keeping it simple. Especially on the surface. Complexity should be nicely tucked under the hood. lowering the amount of augments was a good thing. Introducing the carousel - bad. More does not equal better. In fact, in this instance more is less. Much less.

What else is needed? Balance. Balance. Balance. The shift to triple augments was just shooting yourself in the foot. Nobody asked for this, but now the game is even more unbalanced. And it's an unforced error that nobody asked for. Just wild to me. And it's simple and obvious. Tiru doing 2x the damage of the rest of both teams combined is just so dumb.

Patch notes clearly not lining up with the changes made. No point in patch notes guys if they're not complete. And then the gaslighting afterwards - more lolz.

If this team actually wants to make this game a success - and I even doubt that at this point - they need to allow players - all players - even those who finish last - to actually BUILD A TEAM. A strong one - a full one. The game right now is just blue balls city. You get halfway through making the team you want and it's lol game over. There is no pivoting at all. Which makes Hyper a garbage mechanic.

[languid sparrow]

@turbid osprey ➡️ 👀 #🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[west plume]

Great feedback🫡

[twilit storm]

@void dust your points are worth a lot.
triple augs: not needed..make some combo way to powerful wen rng kiss you.
Game being way too complicated for anyone beside hardcore players.
I love bonding mechanic but "as u said" having the 3 weap limitation and again hoping for good rng to just survive the match is really a pain.
Carousel is a joke..but i am biased since the very beginning..I do really not like this circus kind of things.
Game needs an accurate and constant balance hard work.
We knew that with bonding, weap upgrades (I love them) and suits upgrades (love them too) the amount of tweaks needed to rebalance the game were massive but I rekon the team now is way more reactive and push hotfixes very quickly. I am still faithful, the game can become a pillar in this niche genre, but need focus, dedication and light speed balance and rebalance wen things go crazy (like the tiru recently 😉 ) or stuff that make you a God among the mortals for no skill reason but by luck.

[violet summit]

anyone else crashed?

I was in caroussell, the game crashed and got no reconnect

at least 3 players were out already

not 8th place

@languid sparrow can you have acess to that game?

its still ongoing im sure

[languid sparrow]

What you mean ?

Can only see details once the game is ended.

[violet summit]

ok, lets wait few more miinutes

it should still be ongoing

[languid sparrow]

Just ping me, going back to coding

[trim wren]

New weapon augments are a disaster. The game was fun, but this doesnt make sense.

1 patch ruined the whole game lol

[violet summit]

can you check now please?

[ivory rune]

thats upsetting low level of encouragement from a regular player, This is a IP which gets some of its strength from the community of players itself... So lets project success!

[spring basin]

I’m usually the one who calls things out when I feel like we’re not heading in the right direction, but honestly everything the team has been working on lately feels like a real improvement for the game. They’ve been doing a great job, especially since the testnet patch went live.

I do think we still need more than just 3 weapons during the game. Maybe introduce a few more options later on, like around round 12 or 17, to give players more flexibility.

Also agree that we don’t really need the carousel. Right now it doesn’t deliver the same impact as in TFT. It’s missing the comeback mechanic and that dopamine RNG hit. But honestly that’s a pretty easy fix.

Overall though I’m starting to feel like the game is actually getting really good. The last big thing we need is tailoring and once that’s in we’ll be in a really good spot!

Great work so far @worn tree @wide aspen @topaz lake and who ever is working on the current patch 🔥

[valid stirrup]

3/8 come on we can do it 😄

[noble hinge]

Feedback from a casual player whose elo sucks.
I find this latest rendition of Gauntlet to be the most complicated and hardest to play. Maybe that is intentioned, maybe you want to target the more hardcore player and keep it interesting for them. My thoughts definitely come from my lack of skill at the game.
I don't have every team and every augment memorized. This rendition of the game penalizes me more for that than past ones did.
I preferred having a larger range of weapons and getting to choose. By being able to pick from only 3 weapons early on I am forced into directions that I may not know how to play because again, I don't have everything memorized. Then I start getting Illuvials that don't even match and I find it hard to build anything cohesive.
The carousel is supposed to benefit the player who is sitting at the bottom of the rank. That doesn't work with the complicated augments. Leave them as the red, yellow, purple ones only - that's easy to understand. I don't have all the pictures memorized so you may let me go first but you aren't really helping me. Plus they are too close together and I end up grabbing the wrong one. It feels like a carnival claw machine. Maybe I just need practise.
Ranger bonding I love but it takes too long to bond. I already struggle with a lack of time to get everything done. In Round 1 there could be an arrow telling us to bond to an Illuvial for new players.
When the drone augments come up it would be nice if we could access our panel on the left to see which Illuvials we have on our team that could match. Example if I get a "Harbinger" drone augment it would be good if I could scroll and see that the Atlas I have on my bench will become a Harbinger. Or even have the pictures of the Illuvials that are Harbinger show up when we hover on the drone augment card.

[sinful hornet]

I have to ask why aren't weapons locked in a way where you always have 3 different classes to pick from if not even 3 different classes + 3 different natures

[west musk]

2/8

[languid sparrow]

Went for a ride of 50min, relaxing, eating and will ping you

[violet summit]

I suspect that the game was cancelled
I don't think my ranking changed, so probably everyone got DC

[worn tree]

Thank you, SL1Ckz, for your words, help and commitment. We still have quite a few things on our to-do list that need refining and improving:

• Carousel: Should we improve it? Or create a simpler comeback mechanic? Or remove it altogether?

• Tailoring, incoming.

• A simpler grid system, WIP.

• Improved weapon choices. How to do it?

• Overall simplicity.

• Guidance tooltips, incoming.

• Quality of life improvements.

• Lesser PC spec requirements, WIP.

Some of these are already in progress, while others still need further thought. I do believe we’re making steady progress, but it’s important that we continue to make the right choices. To achieve this, I think it’s essential that we strengthen our connection with the community. We’re actively working on that, and the first step will be a survey, but I think this survey should mark the beginning of a stronger link with team and community that let's us anticipate the success of our decisions. We finally have a product that is fully fleshed, the issue now is that it is too fleshed, and we need to sculpt it, to make it simpler and more polished into a simple, fun, and fair game that appeals to both casual and competitive players alike.

With IMC and ICC already making significant and strategic moves, I believe we are well positioned to take the next steps effectively. The dedication and positivity of so many in the community are truly invaluable to the success of the IP. We must not only maintain this momentum but also step up our efforts.

Thank you all for your dedication, polite feedback and support. Have a great weekend!

[worn tree]

Thank you, we take notes 👍🏻

[sinful hornet]

carousel in tft starts being a comeback mechanic mid-late game+, when u can get 4/5 costs which are way harder to find in tft than here. What carousel is actually supposed to be is not a comeback mechanic but a fix bricks mechanic, as in - u have 2 components that are bad together, you fix that with carousel and make something you want. But this is also less impactful here cuz there's only 3 components.

[void dust]

I sure hope you are able to find success where so many others found only futility. I'm rooting for you.

[low comet]

@sinful hornet who has better comp for you? I think i just mis positioned or wrong augment on illuvials

4 aegis on me 4 frost on him

[ashen mango]

I think that having 25 weapons but being able to reroll them like we do with augments would be way better.

Having the choice to change weapons somewhere between round 12 and 22 would be good as well.

We could then simply replace weapon amplifiers with other weapon amplifiers for the new weapons, as long as they're from the same category (like damage buff, opponent debuff, ally buff, etc).

As a side note, I often get the impression that the game is trying to prevent rigid players from having fun. Patch after patch, the prospect of spamming the same team over and over again becomes more and more disincentivized... to the point where we now can't just play how we want due to being locked into certain comps with the weapons we get.

But even if being rigid shouldn't be optimal for peak performance, it should still be possible to have fun that way. By design, this game already invites flexibility since people can contest you, and Hyper adds tons of counterplay. So there's no need to force flexibility on players even more.

[viral marsh]

seems he have not only frost. it's behemoth and vanguard as well

[sinful hornet]

that's not me i don't have a . in my name

[viral marsh]

made 1 week/2week/month season, where weapons will be replaced, so we get different combos also sounds cool

[sinful hornet]

it's probably fox lol

[low comet]

lmao i see i see that's why he knew

[ashen mango]

You sent your PFP to fox? 👀

Oh I just read the previous messages nevermind

Nice troll 😂

[winter breach]

How do you choose a illuvial In the drafting stage lol? That's some terrible design without any explanation

[low comet]

fox changes his name like twice a week

[winter breach]

And what's the drafting anyway about? You'll get more illuvial of that type there on or what

[sinful hornet]

that's not my pfp either

[viral marsh]

you say that will not play this season and now almost top-1....

[sinful hornet]

always lying strat

[uncut comet]

crash before waepon choice = altf4

It's not explained because it's a direct port from TFT's system, so it's assumed that everyone is familiar...which isn't great...but that's what it is

and how does it move the drone lol

kk i found out, ty a lot

@valid stirrup that shield is so broken. I put 20k damage into your ranger and it did nothing 🤣. GG

[languid sparrow]

The only game I have from the database is the one you just finished and got +38 LP

The most annoying part for me is how fast the drone moves and how little space between the dudes there is. It makes it very hard to get to the one you want without bumping into another accidentally

This is so strange...
So one game was completely ghost, did not happen, even though I got the error at round 15+

I assume everyone got the same error and couldn't join the match anymore

[south geyser]

Just me or does it feel like the early game rng can really easily pigeon hole you into a doomed game?

[languid sparrow]

Did you remember who was in the game ?

[violet summit]

That's the problem, I don't 😞

But at least I didn't lose any ranking... I'm more relieved 😅

[twilit storm]

@violet summit sometimes (rare cases) the match pop up way later than expected

[violet summit]

@worn tree can you find any info on that game? We were at least round 15+ and apparently everyone got an error and it's like it never happened

Around 3PM UTC

[violet summit]

I don't think that's the case
I was playing and in the 2nd carousel, I got DC and an error message that put me back into main screen again
No button to rejoin

[twilit storm]

weird

[vivid stirrup]

I agree with the overall sentiment that being locked into 1 out of 3 weapons super early into the game feels bad.

Either give more options or let me reroll in someway later.

About the Carousel. I like it a lot. The style of it and the mechanic, it has more skill expression than the one in TFT. I think if we give people time they will come to like it, instead of being overwhelmed by it.
The problem I have with it is the clunkyness. The Units are too big, the Augment pictures scale weirdly in size depending on the position in the circle, overall I feel like we are just zoomed in way too much and that's why it feels so hectic and "in your face".
We all have big screens, zoom out and make the illuvials the same size as on the board for visual consistency and clarity.
That will also enable us to increase the distance between them and make it beginner friendlier.

Overall love the direction the game is going and such an amazing patch, thank you for the hard work and dedication @ Illuvium Labs

[void dust]

Ah - finally someone who likes the carousel. What do you like about it?

[tropic forge]

Im a ghost on someone´s game? i can´t look for a game, Finding Match but no number. Restarted the game, my pc, everything... what´s this?

[uncut comet]

again game crash before waepon choice ahhhhhh lovely so lovely

[ashen mango]

To be honest I kind of changed my mind on the carousel
I like the agency it gives, not sure it's positive value for Illuvium but I wouldn't mind if we keep it

[safe valve]

i would like if the illuvials would been shown all from the start cause otherwise the benefit from beeing last place is kinda not there

[ashen mango]

100% agree

[uncut comet]

and the drone ( avatars ) need to look more different it is now always need to search where i am haha

[safe valve]

should always be at the same position for yourself imo

[rancid raptor]

im sorry to say this but i dont enjoy this new arena patch as much. perhaps it will get better with time but as for now i feel there WAY too much going on, just want to play and chill man..

even the carousel is a struggle

[uncut comet]

oh didnt knew haha but the first carousel still

[safe valve]

yea na... just my opinion.
like always be the drone at the top or at the bottom.

[ashen mango]

I admit that it's quite draining

[rancid raptor]

exactly. thats the word i was looking for thanks

[ashen mango]

I need to take naps after 8 games or so 😄

But I have low endurance, maybe it's different for other players

[uncut comet]

can agree but i still keep playing even if my head hurts haha

[ivory rune]

i wish I knew more

[ashen mango]

What do you mean?

[west musk]

Idk if yall seen
This could be a simpler and more efficient carousel design

#1377785538102296617 message

[turbid osprey]

I love to see all this feedback today, thanks for sharing @void dust @spring basin @vivid stone @vivid stirrup @ashen mango @sinful hornet and the others!

Heres my pov on the main topic discussed

Carousel I personally, currently dont enjoy it because it makes the game longer, its hard to reach your units without getting other units by acciddent, the difference between illuvials/components/items is too small for it to be considered a comeback mechanic (even r22/27 sometimes) and i feel it breaks the flow

Theres is potential though, maybe

*Weapons: I actually enjoy the fact that we cant force a single type of comp and are somewhat limited by our initial choice. I feel we are still quite flexible from there because even without a rogue weapon for example you can still build a phantom, aegis, vanguard top tier rogue team for example

Some weapons and amplifier are quite unbalanced which doesnt help but thats to be expected in the first iteration

I like hollow suggestion of having 3 different class &/or affinity. Perhaps just not being able to get all 3 of the same would also be enough. I also really like slickz suggestion of having another weapon round r17. I think that would open not some interesting pivots to adjust to the opponents and what we got so far item/illuvial wise while just overall simply giving more agency and choice to everyone

Im really excited that gauntlet is now feature complete! Lets all work together to make this polishing and balancing phase as good as possible

[west musk]

Allowing for a weapon reroll of each would be a good fix… 6 options at the start

[south geyser]

It really doesn't feel great when you are halfway into a build only to see that first place is doing the same build but already has all the units you want...another run doomer

There just isn't enough time between rounds to check every single other comp to see who is stealing your stuff, and there aren't enough units to go around for everyone to run totally different stuff

[rancid raptor]

how about going into the battle already with your own weapon set? say 2 or 3. then switch between them as you wish

[severe steeple]

the carousel is hell🔥

[rancid raptor]

a bit less rng. you know better what build you can go for. 1 less choosing screen (i mean cmon theres so many of them)

[frank nimbus]

Can carousel animation just be like ADR animation? Just teleport over there and zap that damn thing lol. Already have a hard time thinking about what we need or what we get to deny others getting.

[west musk]

could work also... 6 options up front... choose two... I think 3 is too many tho

[rancid raptor]

yeah i just posted it as an idea

lets see what people think

[frank nimbus]

Also, im red/green colorblind. Can you make the red a little darker lol. Impossible for me see the difference between those two augment. But obviously that's a very small portion of the players. Not a major problem. Just saying.

[rancid raptor]

no i mean, buy your own weapon or two, choose them. Then queue

like before even starting the game

[south geyser]

Might also be worth having the mouse over tooltips for the augments work correctly. They glitch out a lot, which makes it hard to know what's available.

[west musk]

idk about before game... but wouldn't mind if it was the first thing on game start

[rancid raptor]

i think it would be cool to plan a bit before a game but maybe thats just me

think of it like picking your character so not everyone is the same when the 8 go in

[south geyser]

Maybe make the intro logo skippable too so we can reconnect faster

Also, does anyone know how the sudden death damage works? Because it frequently kills me when I have more health than my opponent. This feels a bit counter intuitive to say the least

[dull wind]

having 3 different class weapons &/or affinity should be a given for such an impactful and limited choice. I like the idea of another weapon later in the game. But I would like to have the option to choose between the 2 weapons whenever I want and not simply swap the previous weapon with the new.

[frozen tartan]

@worn tree Hi, my friend.
At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but it's happening way too often.

I played a game yesterday. The carousel worked 0 times correctly.
Then I played another one. Again, 0 times the carousel worked properly.

Today I played 1 game. The carousel worked correctly 0 times.

What exactly is triggering this bug? I can’t play normally.

Usually there are two scenarios:

Option 1: My drone is stuck on the left side of the map. I can’t move it.
Option 2 (a new one): Now my ranger is standing in the upper-left part of the map. I can’t move them either.

[ashen mango]

I think that it's related to spectator mode, when I don't spectate anyone I don't have this bug

I had a similar bug several times and even if my drone seemed stuck outside of the carousel I could still pick an illuvial as if my real drone was in the carousel and could move normally but was invisible to me

So you need to know where your real drone is and when it's your time to pick up an illuvial try to pick it when it's right in front of your starting position

[frozen tartan]

@ashen mango My friend, I wrote a huge message filled with emotion.
But emotions are inappropriate here. I’ll keep all that frustration inside.

I’ll just say that I want a major rework of this “wonderful” mechanic.
I have no more polite words left.

[uncut comet]

@worn tree for the waepon part are 3 possible solutions for me , 1. make the waepon choice at the start from 3 to 5 , 2. reroll possibility for waepons , another waepons choices in later rounds ( either u get a 2nd waepon or the first one will get replaced )

[worn tree]

We are working on the issues on the carousel related to scouting.

It should improve after that, but most likely there are more triggers bugging it. We have to polish it Winnie, thank you for your patience.

[worn tree]

Thank you for keeping it polite Winnie. Really appreciate you 🙏🏻 It will be resolved.

[frozen tartan]

Thank you for always staying in touch and fixing the game.

We’ll be waiting.

[worn tree]

Noted 👍🏻

[frozen tartan]

I really liked his idea about weapon rerolls.

[ebon flume]

We were discussing this today too in voice chat.....ether more weapons like 5 with 1 re-roll or the 3 we have with 2 re-rolls. Full disclosure, some were fine with the current way

[frozen tartan]

I especially liked this new bug.

I was supposed to get Nature augments,
but instead I got this:

@ashen mango If I don’t go “visit” my opponents — will the bug not appear?

I'm about it #🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[fluid raptor]

dude how about making a content with favorite bugs? XD

btw game is bugged atm or is it safe? 00:00 utc thing

anyone stuck or ingame?

[ebon aspen]

not again with 8/8 totally forgot FML

[frozen tartan]

Am I in the game?

[granite echo]

Yes please, more options regarding the weapons choice 🙏

[scarlet spindle]

I got to 8/8 and now match error

[frozen tartan]

What do you mean?

[frozen tartan]

Me too

[fluid raptor]

last night neraba lied to me and I stuck too XD haha

[fluid raptor]

I mean dat 8/8 stuck thing happening everyday

[frozen tartan]

At a specific time or something?

[fluid raptor]

you should not quit queue and wait about 30-90 mins XD

otherwise keep spamming for that time 🙂

yeah everyday 00:00 - 01:30. sometimes 30-40 mins, sometime 1.5 hours

[frozen tartan]

How does this bug affect the rating, win rate, and other stats?

[fluid raptor]

you should wait until the game starts.

or ask someone in queue to tell you when it starts 😄

you will be in game

next time just dont cancel

and watch a movie while waiting XD

[frozen tartan]

Did I get you right:
I need to click the "find ranked game" button continuously for 40 minutes?
And then I’ll be able to play?

[fluid raptor]

yes XD

sometimes about 90 minutes

[frozen tartan]

@worn tree My friend, sorry for tagging you so often, but you need to be aware of the situation.

Either I click the "find ranked game" button for 40–90 minutes, or I lose rating.

This is unreal cringe.

[fluid raptor]

or maybe ask @ebon aspen to tell you when it starts. it seems like he is still in queue

[frozen tartan]

UTC?

[fluid raptor]

that is why I don't queue between 00:00-01:30 XD

yes daily reset

03:00 for me and russian time I suppose

[ebon aspen]

depends on my mood cause I might just say fck it and log off 🤣

[fluid raptor]

daily reset

[frozen tartan]

daily cringe*

start!!!

[ebon aspen]

UP gogogo

[frozen tartan]

game

[fluid raptor]

if you ever did it, just dont cancel and wait while watching something 😄

oh it is up he says

please tell me if it is up

[fluid raptor]

game is on? wow in 21 mins?

[fluid raptor]

it was about 90 mins last time x_X

[fluid raptor]

tnx dude I will too 😄

damn it :///

seems like every game is individually having this bug...

[worldly remnant]

matchmaking error. cant play

[fluid raptor]

game on

[frozen tartan]

To be honest, I didn’t notice it was watch before.

[bronze spire]

oh wow haha same

[ivory rune]

[zenith mortar]

You guys serious lol

[supple epoch]

Where did you get that from

[zenith mortar]

[zenith mortar]

Go crazg bro

[uncut comet]

Bro my Phone i let at home if i go for Sure haha

[uncut comet]

Okay now ich Came back i can say its okay was a good day

bro in this mood how i am rn i need to drop a ilv video on x

before i go sleep

i have in the back a really good video which i try to do but will realeasse when i get the skills in the future

i think in future i will drop the biggest ilv videos and try even rn in the silence but its for sure not so easy but day by day i figure something more out

[granite echo]

Go back to work. We need that cool site asap

[uncut comet]

the people from the illuvium studio trust me just keep going i was rarely wrong in my life if i belived in something u guys killing it in web3 space if u just keep going , i will be upset about myself if im wrong in this , i saw what u did over the last hard years i think from now u just need to stubborn go
forward

and @spring basin who i also have a big opinion of said also this in his last post

[zenith mortar]

incoming

submit your build and build name to be featured first

obviously my builds will be s tier

https://tenor.com/view/lil-wayne-lollipop-cash-money-gif-25073361

[uncut comet]

take all the other crypto projetcs there is no nothing which has the potential which illuvium has and trust me i can take all the bias out , if i would search for another project which has the potential it be searching the needle in a haystack , and i even searched that i didnt found something

there is nothing no joke

i like the team , i learned alot from watched these guys if u can read between the lines and be not a fucking stupid person then u can have more empathie everything its not so easy how you see it from the front

[rustic cloud]

this has to be the best autobattler in the market, and is it's a minigame xD

wtf? it is you rich?

no i just saw Ye was playing

[rustic cloud]

I though you were looking Invicible woman Cake

[worn tree]

We are working on a fix

[ashen mango]

I think so, it's a way of avoiding the bug

glad you didnt hit the last few squizz and alphie

[zenith mortar]

@valid stirrup was teaching me some stuff and i was in panic mode or i wouldve got dualeph i rolled to slow and it was sitting on my shop at my last roll

[bronze spire]

haha ive been there

[valid stirrup]

it was need a bit more second and

😄

it was there 😄

[ashen mango]

Another way to explain the current weapon problem is that it forces you to be flexible inter-game but locks you into certain comps intra-game while it should be the opposite

At this point I think that the Illuvium team understands the problem but some people are complaining about lack of flexibility while others are complaining about being forced to be flexible which can create confusion

[stoic moon]

how about adding a discord channel to share end screens with the community?

i mean that screen where you see all the compositions from the other players

[safe valve]

i feel this also has roots in people liking different playstyles.
Still some ascendant fans arround who like to build towards their fav team from the beginning.
Some like to have opportunities throughout the whole game to pivot into another build to counter opponents builds.

[safe valve]

that for sure can be done in here.
but i can forward the desire to have a dedicated channel for that.
From what i know the amount of chanels on a discord server is limited and we are already somwhere arround that limit.

the desire to get some impressions what other builds are being played will likely also be fullfiled from certain 3rd party websites, like the one @languid sparrow is building.

[ashen mango]

So having only 3 weapon choices round 4 is detrimental to both playstyle

I'm more of a rigid player and I like playing the same builds over and over again so being forced to change team between each game isn't enjoyable for me

A more flexible player would like to change their weapon later in the game

[ashen mango]

You can do it in this channel I think

[safe valve]

yea i can see those pov's.
even tho, i think the general systematic of autobattlers is just not made to force every time your favourite build.
it's kinda more of adapt early on what the game is giving you and then pray to rngeesus to get the rest for it in the endgame.

if you have like 3-4 builds you like, you are good to go... but 1 ... probably have a rough time. 😄

[rapid zenith]

Yeah, I've had 4 games in a row without getting a bulwark weapon - doing my head in

[ashen mango]

In TFT you can spam the same comp over and over again and have fun!
You won't be world champion if you do that though

[safe valve]

yea, depends what rank you wana get.
when i did that, i got stuck somewhere in high platinum.
if you have 3 comps to go tho you can climb high

except it's a reroll comp i guess... then you can climb higher with just 1 comp

[ashen mango]

I was about to hit diamond after a few days of spamming the same reroll comp, then Illuvium launched last year so I stopped 😄

[safe valve]

ya, with reroll likely possible

[ashen mango]

Actually I had 2 different reroll comps at the end, it mitigated a lot of the bad RNG and the fact that people were contesting me

3 would be quite a lot I think for someone rigid though

The advantage of being rigid is that you don't have to think about what comp you're going to play which simplifies decision making
When you have 2 comps you just play what you hit and what's not contested
When you have 3+ comps then the decision making becomes way more difficult imo

[safe valve]

you often have overlaps of units of different comps tho.
So you might start with rerolling one, but instead of forcing your one build, you pivot to a mix in lategame because rng favors it going that route.

[ashen mango]

I clearly couldn't do that, I'm not even sure that I knew what my units were doing 😂

When i play TFT I just go on a 3rd party website, pick a reroll comp that's not S-tier to avoid being too contested and then I just spam it

[safe valve]

i feel in tft it's pretty easy.
if you have no clue, you just spam 5cost in lategame 😄

[ashen mango]

I don't even know lol characters

[safe valve]

i sometimes checked s-tier rerolls and built counter comps 😄

[ashen mango]

That's smart

[safe valve]

ya i feel you 😄
i know some new ones a little from arcane now 😄

[safe valve]

it's like the same way you did.
you not get contested as much and you are strong against the reroll meta

[ashen mango]

Also you're less contested in general in TFT since there are way more different units

Around 13-14 per tier

5-cost units are more rare but even if you only take into account 1,2 and 3-cost units there are still more of them than T1 to T5 illuvials

[safe valve]

o.O i knew they have more... but they have thaat much more?

[ashen mango]

That's what Mordark said I think

It's one of the game designers

[safe valve]

https://tenor.com/view/who-dat-snoop-gif-15116696

you were right

[ashen mango]

Btw do we know if they will add lines of illuvials incrementally or if they will release a big new set all at once?

Or maybe both if the new set is just the old set with different classes and affinities

[safe valve]

not really public info on that.
last i heared was that it could be that "a few" new lines get introduced and rest gets filled up with the same illuvials but different classes/affinities.

I guess it depends on if they wana hold onto the thing with once a set is over you can't farm them anymore.
If so you have to come up with at least the same amount of different Illuvials i feel otherwhise the collectors thought gets lost if there are for example just 20 illuvials in set 2

[ashen mango]

The ideal would be to have somewhere between 60 and 70 T1 to T5 illuvial lines

This way we would have around 12-14 illuvials per tier

Especially more T2 lines

Lynx is cool but I would prefer to have a normal tier with many illuvials in it

[vivid stirrup]

still need some people for the waiting list for the arena tournament starting in 1 hour

SIGN UP HERE: illuvidata.gg/tournament-hub/listing/68404b2bdacbc0b811c95a29/details

[safe valve]

yea i totally agree with that

but difficult to do.
if you wana focus on gauntlet with next set you bascially need to have no t1 lines but a ton of t2 lines 😄
would be kinda weird to have.

[ashen mango]

True 🤔

[safe valve]

and i guess also a lot of work.
or maybe you also change tier with those "illuvial revamps" and not just classes/affinities

kinda like make a t2-frost-rhamphyre or a t2-inferno-grilla

[ashen mango]

Not sure it would be a good idea

[safe valve]

ya me neither 😄

[ashen mango]

I mean making Rhamphyre T2

But making Grilla T2 could be fun

[safe valve]

😄

downgrade =not cool
upgrade = awesome

[ashen mango]

So let's take all of the current T1 and make them the new Set 2 T2
Take all of the current T3 and make them the new Set 2 T3
Take all of the current T4 and make them the new Set 2 T4
Take all of the current T5 and make them the new Set 2 T5?

We would have 16 T3

And they want to introduce new lines

[safe valve]

not sure a rotation system is the best thing to go forward.
You would have equalized the number of lines for each tier after 3-4 set tho (maybe even 2-3) depending on how many new illuvials can be made for each set

[sinful hornet]

they have dozens of illuvials that they're not using in t0s and t2s that they can just slightly rework for arena, split them into different tiers and get rid of t0 tier and solve a lot of pool problems

[safe valve]

also not sure you wana redo the lynxes...

[safe valve]

but that's just a pure gauntlet pov.
Cant mess arround with the overall ecosystem just to have an easy way for gauntlet.

[sinful hornet]

why? what's stopping u from having units be different in different games

[safe valve]

would be super messy.
clear red lines are appreciated from normal human beings.
Grind for assets + valuation of those assets would be just a mess

[sinful hornet]

good thing they're all worthless already then

[uncut comet]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

why i plaiying

i can just agree with rich at thid part

we are real mexican we hold toghether

[vivid stirrup]

We are looking for 1 more player for the illuvium tournament happening right now

[calm steeple]

i can play

[vivid stirrup]

i pinged you in our tournament discord server

[rapid zenith]

What unbonds the ranger? Is it when you stage up?

Kinda annoying

[granite echo]

Yeah, gauntlet is fun now because its the only thing we have.
But the overworld is the main game.
And the new illuvial set is a sensitive topic. I understand how much work it implies, but we don't have second chances.
We have to do it right from the start.
The selling point of illuvium was "capture them while you can".
Doing the illuvials again, just in a different color is lazy.
Its not like we have no community.
We had a thread with illuvial suggestions.
Accept help from the community to come up with new illuvials.

[safe valve]

i don't think it's a matter of "no idea what animals we could do" but rather a "it's a ton of work and needs a tremendous amount of time to create completely new assets"
but i agree, there are no 2nd chances and i don't know how well it is received from collectors if there will be mainly just other iterations of already existing illuvials.

But tbh this is all just assumptions based on a few words of core contributors which were posted long time ago.
Plans might have changed related to that topic.

[granite echo]

Yes, i know, but we don't have much time. A decision should be made and the work in that direction should start. We can't make the decision next year, and have the assets done in 2028. A wave shouldnt last so many years

At least the way i think, it's a different mentality from "i have no pressure to start playing now, the assets are not going anywhere" and "maybe i should try playing now before all the illuvials are gone"

[noble hinge]

I don't think it is lazy to redo the Illuvials. I actually think it would be pretty cool. I can see wanting to collect the set of Pterodactyls. An ice one would be beautiful.

[twilit storm]

gg @spare frigate ..just can t cope with the bonding wen the ranger litterally refuse to bond..then I get pissed and don t care anymore bout the freakin match

[spare frigate]

LOLL gg

excuses are for the weak

but your right.. the sensitivity of bonding the ranger is crazy.. 1 slight move of the mouse and it resets the bonding time -.-

[twilit storm]

nono..

the krunk was not bonding..no matter what

the bonding window didn t pop up

the weak..u had 1 hp..big boy ..relax

[spare frigate]

ripp that sux

i only kid

would be nice though to have the plus button back so it reminds players to bond or at least have a right click button (for pc) to automatically bond when hovering over unit

Hi, I’m still studying the new patch. Sorry

[austere lodge]

They should just remove the patch. Totally unplayable, unpredictable, impossible to plan anything. Compositions disappear in seconds... this didn't happen before.

It's not unbalanced, it's unplayable, there's no direction. It went from fun to better to shut down. WAITING FOR A NEW PATCH

The game's translation never arrived. It's really so simple that I don't understand why it wasn't implemented. The rest of the non-English speaking world expects to be able to understand the game.

Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but it doesn't make it easy, it makes it increasingly difficult.

[distant lintel]

I think of returning to game after a long while.I was somewhat tracking the news and saw that there are some weekly rewards for gauntlet? If yes , what are the rules for that? where can i check if im viable for this weeks rewards?

[frozen tartan]

If you get the "Nature" augmentation from the carousel, the game will give you an empty black square.

When you hover over it, an Axon with a broken description is shown.

You cannot use the augmentation.

[vivid stirrup]

this happens when you try to pick it up with a full bench, then it will be stuck for a few rounds even if u have space on bench after.

[rancid raptor]

yup, its a mess

[safe valve]

can do a post in #🌮〕food but not today anymore, am about to go to bed 🙂

[west musk]

I may hold an unpopular opinion... But I like the randomness and the improvisation required in the new patch

Planning gets boring and rote... so to me it makes it more fun that every game is going to be different

You also don't get punished so hard for trying different things in this patch because there's enough stuff to make something work... or kinda work

[ebon aspen]

people getting 100% dodge on ranger 🤣

[rancid raptor]

isnt upgrading drone and upgrading illuvials and upgrading weapon and upgrading suit kind of a lot of the same?

[turbid osprey]

I think most appreciate this aspect tbh

[worldly jolt]

Good news. You’ve been bestowed the rank of Ranger. Enjoy posting images in here

[stoic moon]

thanks

my suggestion for the public document would add the final traits

[manic musk]

Playyy go

3/8

4/8

[viral marsh]

builds in public document is example.
every your game different from each other. and you choice what will be better for you right in this game.
you can't just play 1 build and win, all depend of your opponents, augments you got, weapon, how much units left in pull, how good your economy, region etc.
this shield now psion, you have bulwark and empath for earth build, it's mean you can made 10+ different synergys.

[ashen mango]

This is fun 😁

It almost beat Rhamphyre with phantom

It had a big omnivamp % + it was reflecting damage

So basically it was gaining health when getting hit, not losing health 😂

[rancid raptor]

I get that people find this randomness fun but every game is a clown fiesta man 😂. Thinking about trying to make this an e-sport?

Good luck

[ashen mango]

I had a crazy round where Grilla 1V5 or 1V6 a team, he killed half of them during overtime and it was healing himself back to full life after each cast
It healed 9k hp in the end and survived 1 tick away from dying

Really I couldn't believe it, he was 1 hit away from dying maybe 5 times but each time he went back to full life, I wish I recorded it

[west musk]

Wow the dodging ranger is crazy

[west musk]

idk man... there have been two huge patches in the past month... there's bound to be some craziness. nothing that fine tuning can't help. But I really dig the direction.

F the carousel tho... can't wait till a different rendition of that

So glad bonding ranger is back

[ivory rune]

we still just started, its in development... the balancing of the Arena is all they essentially have left to do now.... It will get balanced out...

[rancid raptor]

i get what you mean guys but i strongly disagree that this is a balancing issue.

[turbid osprey]

Slickz still won the tournament even in this patch. More chance it was his skill showing than just being lucky

Leaderboard also seems to be pretty much the same players at the top

[raven obsidian]

anyone think shop is bugged sometimes?

i rolled 80+ gold for a ramphy to get Phantom. no one else has one

[rancid raptor]

the best will continue to be the best yes, even with more rng

for whatever its worth im glad you guys like it

its just not for me i guess

[supple beacon]

Do you have a link for the qr code, my phone does not want to scan it

[twilit storm]

@supple beacon #🎨〕community-content message

there is the link to the doc there

[wicked hedge]

The game has a bit too much randomness, but as a positive, you have to adapt, which implies skill, you cannot simply just copy a build

[twilit storm]

there is much more agency now than in the last year

you can t get rid of RnG but i see skilled players adapting quickly

[wicked hedge]

yep, kinda like the new patch now, but its not good if u get only 3 weapons that are not that good

but often, you get 1 solid

[twilit storm]

agree..the 3 weap limitation at round 3 is a bit mehh

[wicked hedge]

then at least its all about balancing

[twilit storm]

less augments..less variance

you can almost pinpoint the augs that you want now

bonding opens a ton of possible comps

[wicked hedge]

like that! get fighter weapon, then go for mostly red augments and defensice yellow

go for psion weapon, go for purple

so its more agency now

[zenith mortar]

almost there folks, just pulling all images soon once i get it where i want

maybe tomorrow go live

got a nephews graduation to go to

[open ibex]

GG, i thought it was over when u hit dualeph

lucky i hit ophisto too 🙂

[wicked hedge]

haha same, you came back solid 😉 should have blocked the squizz

i was stuck at 8/8 in the queue, now i cant get in

what is this? first time this has happened

[zenith mortar]

Its regularly happening at this time daily

They are working on fixing it

[wicked hedge]

but what does it mean? the game thinks im in a game which im not? hope i dont loose like 50 trophies from that

[zenith mortar]

Unfortunately it might happen but it happens to most in that game

[wicked hedge]

looks like it just glitched out

[zenith mortar]

So its not just you

[turbid osprey]

yea stuck on 8/8, i queued at 8:02 to not get the stuck game

how long this usually take?

[turbid osprey]

so theres 2 lobby stuck it means

[wicked hedge]

ahh okay, managed to get into a game though..

maybe i loose 50 trophies, and win the other game gaining 15

xd

[turbid osprey]

how long did it take?

[turbid osprey]

your first lobby passed

mine is still 8/8, im not in your game right?

[wicked hedge]

noopes

[wicked hedge]

wonder if im in the other game as well xd

[turbid osprey]

probably not, you must have queued back in your first stuck lobby

oh mine is starting now

[languid sparrow]

Note that the issue hapenned rught after 00:00 UTC during the 1st round of game. a game normally last around 41min 25 sec "depending on the region maybe change"

[turbid osprey]

@neat walrus @whole galleon game started

[whole galleon]

thanks but i cant start :/

[whole galleon]

now, thank u

[languid sparrow]

*I will be posting result for the 1st game when there complete *

[cursive echo]

[open ibex]

Some day it took like 30-60 minutes, so I always go for breakfast 🤣

[hollow orbit]

Between 0:00 and 1:00 UTC, it will take about 20 minutes for the game to start even if it is 8/8. In other words, if you wait 20 minutes, the game will start, so it's a good idea to check repeatedly.

[languid sparrow]

Does the illvuium team is aware of this issue ?

[zenith mortar]

Like I said they are investigating a fix

They are already aware of the cause

Just needs to be fixed

[languid sparrow]

Yep, all good

[ivory rune]

its actually really good that these bugs are surfacing now, and not later after a big marketing push

[lapis citrus]

[arctic steppe]

[arctic steppe]

[lapis citrus]

Ugh too frustrating logging out for a bit. Good luck

[arctic steppe]

@lapis citrus

@ivory rune

u are here afk bro

log in

[ebon aspen]

@bronze spire did you experience lag that game ?

everything moved in slow motion 🤣

[bronze spire]

hmm actually not sure maybe, i was half afk to be honest

[dusty gust]

anyone got a class combo chart? looking at you @languid sparrow ....:)

fighter + figter =beserker etc

[open ibex]

Can always view in game

[manic gale]

how o bond?

[zenith mortar]

Drag the Illuvials to your ranger at any time

Or bench a bonded illuvla to unbknd

[manic gale]

thx

[manic musk]

Its not very intuitive to know you have to do it. They could add something to help new players

[dull wind]

the '+' above the ranger we had be4 was very intuitive. And we could still show the bonding affinities on mouseover the illuvial.

[turbid osprey]

Yea we currently miss a way to see the bonding, the (+) was great

[manic musk]

Yes the + was better than also holding the illuvium above the ranger. Sometimes holding escape and you cant bond in time

[dull wind]

exactly, how does a new player even know bonding exists 😅

[turbid osprey]

what i meant i like you said, we miss seeing the aegis/spore bond, but we we also literally dont know its something intuitively

[ashen mango]

I would love if the ranger would bond back with an illuvial we benched then put back on the board when we didn't bond with another illuvial in between

[safe valve]

isn't there like a big fat text in the first rounds telling that you can bond your ranger with dragging the illuvial over it?

[dull wind]

if there is it's prolly not fat enough cause I haven't noticed it.

[west plume]

Lol yeah its massive

[dull wind]

ok now I have to go play a game to see that big fat text...

[languid sparrow]

Might also be overwelming with too much information for new player

[dull wind]

No wonder I never saw this...

usually my eyes are on the bottom of the screen looking at the bench and when the round starts the message disappears.

if you have to have a text message explaining some game mechanic it just shows how non intuitive it is.

[fallen vortex]

@bronze spire with 4 players getting Jokull I have no clue how U got Jotun

I loved how we kept having a sear vs Jotun showdown in the centre of the board tho

[bronze spire]

haha yea i got well above average luck with him

DMTs rhamphyre 1 shot my board in the end, even through invuln augment haha

[ashen mango]

How is this possible? 😭 @bronze spire

You must have had better lobbies compared to your elo on average

[bronze spire]

yea haha must have had some big elo gain in some games

and my non top 4 games were at starting rating

bar 1 maybe

[winter breach]

gg @valid stirrup well played

[valid stirrup]

gg BRO

Nice game

😄

[winter breach]

yeah quality over numbers proven 🙂
