Access won't be shared, but it would mean installing their software in a pc that is not mine, asking just in case

[sinful crescent]

Yeah, makes sense to ask first. I understand you won't share it, but it could look that way for them, that's what I meant haha.
@zenith mortar do you know the answer? sorry for tagging

[clear valve]

Woo fun and challenging deck today. Seems like wave 14 is very popular. lol

Placement really matters

[pale fossil]

The Grit and Resolve sound has been upgraded, has a nicer thunk at the end.

[lofty parrot]

Hi there, I'm struggling to install the beta. After extracting and trying to run the installer, nothing happens 😄

[uncut folio]

is there a forget password option for pb1?

[silver merlin]

Its on the website

[uncut folio]

ah ok saw it thanks

was trying to find it in gfame itself

[lean ivy]

Congrats! I was top three when I went to sleep. Now 6th... I'm going to have to go a bit harder to hold the top.

[radiant grail]

Hey guys, just playtesting it for the first time

What determines what illuvials show up for me to buy?

[candid galleon]

New set every day. Just determined by the game.

[radiant grail]

so like the 6er synergies are close to impossible to build right now?

[reef basalt]

If I get time to play again will try to get there 😄

[smoky python]

💪

Today is a tricky one

[reef basalt]

It is! Im actually loving the increased difficulty of the game. Its becoming cerebral and the comment of Aaron saying its more like chess really resonates

[halcyon nova]

well I seem to have got over the difficult jump with todays deck I can almost scrape onto the leader board ...probably a fluke but Im encouraged

[halcyon nova]

you can also try to recover it in chrome if your sync'd the gmail account you signed up for the beta with

[jolly hearth]

I am really having a hard time finding out what is going on during a battle... Yesterday I had the strange effect that large chunks of health disappeared from some Illuvial, but I did not notice it was even attacked... (Seeforus). Has anyone seen something like this?

[grand bluff]

Umbre was probably using its Omega.

And Umbre often targets Seeforus or any of that line because it has low HP.

[jolly hearth]

I would really love to have a log or a replay or even a pause function...

[silver merlin]

You can record your screen?

[grand bluff]

What I love is Rhamphyre with their Archeleon, Kukkaraph and Adorius at the back. Yum spicy Hyper for double Omega with no heals from Adorius due to Silence.

[reef basalt]

Rogues can be si broken because of that hahaha

[analog umbra]

@dark scaffold yo

[dark scaffold]

just fast one @analog umbra

this bug when enemy is facing you with thier buts

not sure if you guys know this already but i managed to replicate it at will

it is happening when you pick up your unit in small window of time

when you are after fight

your units reset, you have to pick your unit before new enemies team show up

works every time so far

if its known already, i'm so sorry for bothering you xD

[analog umbra]

Sorry do you mean if the enemy unit is facing away from you you have to hurry and place units before the rest show up?

Go ahead and also submit a bug report with steps to reproduce

[dark scaffold]

just pick some unit as you wish to move it to other place

can stream it to demonstrate 😉

but i will submit bug report as well, just saw you in chat and did't wanted to bug report disappeare in like a million of them xD

[analog umbra]

lol you're good I think I get what you're saying and I don't see another report like it so a report would be super helpful then we can look more into it

tyvm

[stray sand]

Is it my impression or last version is more PC demanding? I experience more lag in some situations where (normally) I didn´t before, but maybe is just an impression

[lean junco]

the same

[spare sphinx]

I got the exact opposite lol 😅

[opaque fjord]

hey @topaz lake is the 25% Attack Speed increase for all hyper modes already included in the Fighter's hyper of 35% Attack Speed increase? or it is on top of that? like Fighter will get 60% Attack Speed increase?

[candid galleon]

I think those are added. So 60%.

[versed dew]

3rd for the first time ✨

[pale fossil]

On paper I thought I would like yesterday's deck, as it turns out I wasn't man enough for it, struggled. I am reborn in 10 mins.

[humble tide]

im trying to get better are there any competitive groups?

[versed dew]

There are groups with pros i think. But you can ask anyone to coach you 😊

[humble tide]

can u coach me :), where may i ask others?

[versed dew]

Nah. First of all I'm not good in english. Second I just go with my instincts so I can't really explain how I win rounds 😅

[crude elbow]

is it ok to start on Casual mode? or i need or required to play on Competive mode?

[pale fossil]

Casual, take your time.

[crude elbow]

great. thanks! im very excited to try everything here

[pale fossil]

Give Arlen a Firesword and take the camera close to her during battle... It's stunning.

[crude elbow]

ohhhh.. will surely try that! just preppin my machine to break stuffs. haha

[white fiber]

hey just checked my email and I got the private beta, is this true? or just a scam?

[unique moss]

If it's from [e-mail] then it is legitimate 👍
List of the newly added beta testers are also in the pinned messages of #💬〕general from Rich!

[white fiber]

thank you!

[jagged summit]

Is the game was so beautiful it crashed my internet valid feedback?

Also being able to just press enter after typing in email and pw for log in would be nice. At the very least it doesn’t seem to work for me if it is functional.

[robust surge]

The game looks easy until you play it 🤡

[spice iris]

Just got my email 🥳

[warm kraken]

trick is to defeat ennemy illuvials while surviving, i got no other advice

[summer ibex]

BETA ☑️🥳

[smoky python]

ACG

[humble tide]

whats that?

[smoky python]

DM me and I'll share

Dont want to post links in the chat here

Though I guess here's a link to a post in guild recruiting
#899655780033261639 message

[golden garden]

been really enjoying the beta!

[topaz lake]

Hey, 60% total for fighters and 42% for composites that have fighter in them

[opaque fjord]

Thanks Edi.

[topaz lake]

No worries 😎

[opaque fjord]

I actually put 42.5 on my google sheets. Hehe

[topaz lake]

Yeah, don't 😅 we don't use floats so if something is .x it will be rounded to bottom. 42.5 -> 42

[zenith mortar]

Man it’s nice having you guys in chat

[topaz lake]

😅 helping with what we can

[topaz lake]

@dark scaffold it's a known bug

[hearty current]

agreed, coming from TFT this is still a big learning experience

[pearl pier]

watching is different from playing, i just got into pb this morning played 5 casuals, and getting owned haha

[dark scaffold]

Oh bug is known for sure, I just figured how to replicate it every wave and wasnt sure if this is known :)

[topaz lake]

Yep, had that bugging me for quite some time, until 1 or 2 weeks ago 🤣 initially I thought it's something with the internet connection, but nope

[cosmic geode]

heya
any clues as to what might be causing a simple authentication failed? I've already checked it's the same email and pass I'm succesfuly using in the site

[topaz lake]

Maybe you didn't get full access yet, allow it a bit more time

[zenith mortar]

You sure your password typing is correct

[dark scaffold]

Ahh, you ppl are always few steps ahead ^^ and I was like "daaamn, I found something useful!" ... But nope 😂

[zenith mortar]

No vpns?

[cosmic geode]

I am copypasting from password manager... is this one of those rare cases where the game doesn't allow that? I can copypaste with no issues in the email field

[cosmic geode]

nope

[topaz lake]

I mean you are the only one that figured it out 😎

[zenith mortar]

Haven’t heard of that yet but would be interesting if it was

[cosmic geode]

well, I'll try typing this long string of complicated characters for science

[honest pawn]

Happened to me before, just wait for a while and it you will be fine

the longest one I waited 20 mins

[zenith mortar]

Time heals all wounds

[cosmic geode]

no luck manually typing either
aight, I'll just wait for now np

[smoky python]

Tougher than expected today. Enemy waves are strong

[smoky python]

Why is air staff still bugged? You guys released a patch and couldnt change a number for a gamebreaking bug?

[topaz lake]

Mind telling me what's the bug? 😄

[smoky python]

It gives 20 flat attack speed instead of 20%

[topaz lake]

This was fixed before, maybe something fucked up in the process. From what I can see the value for Ranger is 20%, but for allies is 20flat

[smoky python]

That makes sense as we are seeing it effect units. Going to check the Ranger on this next wave

Yup the ranger only got 20%

[topaz lake]

Yeah, idk what fucked up there

[smoky python]

Yah please fix 🙂

[pure panther]

seeforus omega cancelation is so boring

not sure whether they ignore this bug or what (perhaps they just don't fix a thing at at all yet?)

[topaz lake]

it's more complicated than that, but it's in works

[honest pawn]

it gets cancelled when it loses target lol

[pale fossil]

I thought that was a feature not a bug. Long spin-up time on the omega and no target switching is not intended behaviour? OK, interesting, I thought it was a reason to take the little versions, faster omega procs.

[honest pawn]

i guess the missiles get instantly deleted when they lose focus

[smoky python]

It's how the current targeting system works but it is not sustainable for the longterm future of the game as it limits design space of Omegas

It will take time for them to revamp it

[pale fossil]

To me that's incentive to ensure seeforus has large tanky targets near him so the longer omega has time to spin up, if that's changed then that will make him more dangerous, would you increase his cost as well?

[topaz lake]

Modifying the Spin time won't fix the bug anyway 😅 and yes, it will make him broken

[smoky python]

I wouldnt say broken but I would increase his cost to 65

Right now the only reason he is balanced at 55 gold is he hardly ever casts

[lean junco]

i team... i would like to kindly tell you that air staff is still bugged. Tx for your amazing work ! much more better imo

[smoky python]

Matter of opinion

[topaz lake]

Still, if the spin is faster, that doesn't guarantee that it won't miss

[smoky python]

Oh in terms of faster spin my bad I misread that. I just meant fixing the bug

If he casts 100% of the time you should increase his mastery point cost

[topaz lake]

This is a matter that is currently addressed for all Illuvials rather that specific units

[smoky python]

He's better than Synalph and Synalph costs 70

[topaz lake]

It has strengths and weaknesses (high omega damage and low cost traded for long cast time and low stats)

[smoky python]

Just not true

Synalph is REALLY bad

He'd be fair at 50 gold

[topaz lake]

I was referring to Seeforus 😛

[smoky python]

oh

Yah Seeforus is an allstar

I slam him on my board every game

And then I just tilt and bitch when he doesnt cast haha

[topaz lake]

I know man, it's annoying af from a gameplay perspective. It will be fixed along others that have issues 😄

[smoky python]

Yah Ben talked about how the issue is due to the targetting system so I understand its not an easy fix

Just a frustrating situation especially in competitive play

[topaz lake]

To be honest, I've been through a ton shit of releases and played a lot of PBs, this is by far one of the best in terms of gameplay, not sure if you agree with me on this, but I'm open to debate 🦎

[smoky python]

Oh for sure. Especially for essentially a PvE game it keeps me engaged completely

But I'm also a massive fan of autochess and endless wave/tower defense type stuff

[topaz lake]

Remember Cyberpunk? The hype on that game was sky high and the release was total dogshit

[smoky python]

haha yup. Thats the state of most games nowadays

No Mans Sky? lol

[topaz lake]

don't bring that up, it will make me cry =))

[smoky python]

I wasnt even looking forward that much to Survival Mode. Really excited for the Ranked mode more but this is still great

[pale fossil]

How would you do PvP? Blind board placements?

[smoky python]

The current way we do tournaments is whoever gets to the highest wave wins

But the actual PvP game is much different than Survival

[pale fossil]

Yeah I'm referring to actual PvP, blind board placements best of 3?

[smoky python]

There's a whole unconfirmed gamemode that has multiple steps. Dont remember where I saw it though

It's building a deck, then bidding on augments and items, then placing units on the board over a series of rounds vs your opponent.

[vernal forum]

That’s the pvp mode. We should hopefully get it when they launch private beta 2.

[smoky python]

Yup I'm hoping!

[pale fossil]

Sounds good, I've not played the battle chess / AB genre before but I can see how that would work.

[proven ember]

Ascendant mode

We released a leak of my early draft on it, last year

[smoky python]

Yes! Thats what it was

[brave moat]

@smoky python I think this is what we have so far on PVP mode:

[smoky python]

Thanks!

This is what I was excited about

[pale fossil]

That looks really good.

[brave moat]

Yeah. Many good elements in it. You'll be having knowledge of what your opponent can play. But don't know what they place and where.

And multiple rounds depending on how hard you win. Similarly to TFT.

If you win with like 8 illuvials remaining you might need 2 wins to win, but if it's close you might need 3 or 4 rounds.

[smoky python]

Yup the whole idea really got me on board

I thought Survival would just be a fun little side game to play occasionally while watching TV or something

[brave moat]

I think the plan is to introduce the Obelisk concept in survival as well, so that you don't lose in one go.

[silver merlin]

Yeah

At least something to do with health

[smoky python]

I consider it a good sign that I'm already enjoying the gameplay this much and we havnt even scratched the surface of what it will be in the future

[brave moat]

This is just proof of concept for the combat engine.

They can do unlimited stuff with it.

2v2. Raids. Different rulesets.

[swift sonnet]

should i receive fresh account when i'm entering the game 1st time?

[brave moat]

If you're talking about level/name they are placeholders.

[swift sonnet]

yes i means accounts like on the screen above

[brave moat]

All of those are placeholders and autogenerated.

[reef basalt]

@smoky python I saw you were talking to devs. So Staff is still broken?

[smoky python]

Correct its broken

The wave 19 used air staff btw

My waves are pure 🙂

[candid galleon]

No muggle blood in sjud's waves.

[smoky python]

Update: Beat 22 then lost on 23 like a scrub

[candid galleon]

Yeah really. Like who loses on 23? Literally no one.

[smoky python]

I'm the only one who has lost on Wave 23 today 😦

[candid galleon]

Exactly lol

[smoky python]

This deck has 30 potential too but I was a wave or two away from completing the team

[pallid maple]

I was just allowed access to the beta, the game looks simply amazing

is there a way to zoom in even closer to the creatures or will there be a gallery so you can look at the creatures even closer?

[silver merlin]

How to move around is pinned it think

Yeah scroll all the way down

[dark scaffold]

just use WSAD and fly around 🙂

[pallid maple]

yeah that worked, for whatever reason my mouse scroll didn't zoom in all the way

[wanton lily]

Hey all. So this is screenshotted from infoluvial. I was wondering if there is a list anywhere on what each of the attributes do exactly? Like, if I get +10 grit or resolve, what does it mean in an equation? Is this available anywhere?

[dark scaffold]

i know its not exactly what you are looking for but illuvimaster has some basic info on this:

there is more in thier article <Thier official web site>/article/The-Dictionary-of-Illuvium

[wanton lily]

Is illuvimaster the best for these details or is any other site or wiki out there? For example all of the hyper info in the last (pinned) release notes, I’ve been searching for for a few weeks too

[silver merlin]

Infoluvial also a good site i think

[errant crane]

game kept crashing but i this time i rec'd a version prompt - is there an update/new download?

[brave moat]

Latest update was on 25th of may.

[errant crane]

ty sounds about right - ive been ill since then

[tall comet]

is there any profit for beeing beta tester?

[lean junco]

learn the game

[brave moat]

Same as playing any other web2 game. Having fun.

[tall comet]

yeah but sometimes admins give some prizes to testers and i was just wondering how it works here

[frosty python]

Is there any docs listed so i can see what illuvials have what stats/ what one work with each other or against?

its hard for me to see important information while playing the game was wonderin if there was a list someplace of something

kek all i needed to do is look up lmao

[midnight sonnet]

Hi I just got selected for the private beta. I downloaded the game but cant log in it says: authentication failed.

[frosty python]

you use the loging credentials for when you registerd on the site

[frosty python]

ur email and pw

[midnight sonnet]

same log ins as on the site

dont work

[pale fossil]

Being part of this incredible community is your prize 💪 😉

[hollow whale]

You also get your prize as being able to play the beta😂 there’s still those of us waiting

[jagged gull]

Getting Authentication Failed when i try to log in any ideas?

[west plume]

Being able to play it before it launches is the reward imo

[jagged summit]

It’s more like a punishment being in beta because it’s hard not to think about it no matter what you’re doing and you just want to leave work and go play it.

[cobalt tendon]

Check this out. my opponents are offended)

[analog carbon]

Today was my first day of the beta: I have to point out that it actually looks very easy when you watch content but is very much more difficult to play by my self (even though I’m diamond in TFT) 🤣🤣 the graphics are amazing even though my machine is not the best. I fall in love with the game more and more every hour! Great work @mystic palmm

[wanton lily]

Wanted to report this for folks, but when I click download from the beta site, sometimes it fails the first time. I can resume in Firefox or start it over and it usually works the 2nd time.

[unkempt cypress]

Anybody notices today also more crashes.
Never had crashes until today to be honest 🔥

[zenith mortar]

Please report your crashes and send the dmp files with them via bug reporter so we can check em out 👌

[edgy bough]

Anyone else got this before when logging in?

I’m offline so wondering if you must be connected to internet to run application?

[proven ember]

You need to have an internet connection to log on yes.

Otherwise it can't validate your password/login

[edgy bough]

Makes sense thx! I moved yesterday and waiting for wifi to connect. Haven’t played beta in days so connected via phone hotspot

[limber skiff]

Where should we report the crash ?

[vernal forum]

how are u running the resolutions?

[spare sphinx]

Lowest. The game is quite laggy unfortunately, even with lower graphics. Especially when there are more Illuviuals on the board.

Apparently this laptop is not as strong as I thought 😂

[dapper blaze]

If accepted i'll see how she runs on the ol 5900x/3090 when I get off work. Rig runs star citizen while still mining eth like a degenerate chad🤓

is it possible that after 24 hours of getting the beta invite email I might still need to wait some more if I haven't been granted access or some such thing?
I keep getting authentication failed and I'm not sure what to do about it

[woven flint]

you don t need to worry about that ... I have a laptop, lenovo legion with gtx1650 and I run everything max

[hollow whale]

I’ll take some bets access if we’re handing it out

[timid river]

Hello, I need information, can somebody tell me what was the criteria for selecting the testers? Does the Specs of my macbook were enough to test the game? I received the email yesterday that I got selected to test the game and got the game too but I cant run it, it says that my graphics card is not able to run the game

Anyone knows why I keep getting an error on my Mac that it cannot open the app cause it can’t scan for malware ?

Anyone know a fix?

I didn't want to bug the team the first and only time my game crashed (which happened on my first ever attempt) so I didn't send the error oops...

Hey everyone! playing on Lenovo Legion, all good for now

[indigo mango]

Hey, does sb now why i keep getting "Authentication failed" message when trying to log into my account to play the PB1?

[cosmic geode]

I don't know, but I'm the same boat lol
if you somehow figure out a fix pls let me know

[terse echo]

just downloaded pb1 client but cant login into the game as well

[vale moon]

Does anyone have an up to date chart after this last batch?

[paper lynx]

Would a written review of the beta violate the NDA even if there's no visual media of the game?

[cosmic geode]

there's no NDA (unless you specifically for some reason were made to sign one?)
if you're asking because you read about that on the site's FAQ pls ignore that, it's outdated 😅 there's plenty of videos/streams/etc about the private beta and that's fine

if you watch the video that's linked in the email you got for being selected into the beta, there it says that you can share whatever, just with a few caveats like disclosing that it's a beta and so on

[paper lynx]

O lol, got it, yeah I just read the FAQ. Thanks for the info

Have the extra 1500 beta positions been handed out yet does anyone know? So desperately wanting to play!

[chilly birch]

Hi ben, hyperactive system its a game changer for me.at first i didn't focus bout the system but when i study it for like 2 days, i realized that it is so important.
i love seeing my titanor and rhampyre being in a hyperactive mode. its amazing

[serene lance]

Any news on updates to PB1 including things such as augments and new illuvials? I have put many hours in but am now finding it a bit too stale to keep playing and testing currently.

Just being honest.

I am excited for more features, depth, pvp, pb2 and all that. Just wanting to know if any of that is close?

[silver merlin]

Go outside and touch grass, maybe when you come back its there

[smoky python]

Wrong guys

[woven flint]

nono

I really was asking you 😄

ahhh sorry wrong illuvials :p

humm

[smoky python]

You're not playing the best Illuvial in the game

[woven flint]

I did this to get the 6 bulwark, but maybe it doesn t worth the cost ?

nice u got sweaty ass. ❤️

[rain wind]

Ramphy? Or

[woven flint]

I don t like ramphy line and specially today, so many waves with rogue ...

[rain wind]

True

[smoky python]

🤣

[woven flint]

don t be mean :p

you really use ramphy ? oO

[smoky python]

No. Ramphyre

I put him in on Wave 12 and never took him out

[woven flint]

ok wow

really need to try to understand this line ramphy ramphyre ... every time I ve try them, I couldn t manage to get them really usefull so I kinda start a hate against them ! 🙂

Congrats! Breaking out the nerf hammer

[smoky python]

You already nerfed me with the last patch

[cosmic geode]

nope 😣

[shut iris]

You have tried logging in multiple times in a row with your illuvium account? We have a bug that throws an authentication issue but it's usually only the first time. The other thing to consider is the batch action to add accounts to the illuvium beta has to run before you can login, it's only run Twice a day but with Landsale may have been delayed while the back end team ensured security, stability, etc. I will check with them.

[cosmic geode]

yes, I have tried several times in a row
since it's very few people that seem to be having this auth failed problem (as far as I can tell) I thought it might be a more complicated issue, but if it's just taking a while until some accounts get actually added to the beta I certainly don't mind waiting

[bitter haven]

LETS GO ACG! Well done mate!

[lean ivy]

Lol we know you love big Bird. We will make sure you have a max stat Ramphyre in the future. The Leviathan will be a ring of Fire.

[agile junco]

I got excepted to play the private beta. But I keep getting "An unreal process has crashed: UE4-Illuvium" when I try to run the game.
[8:52 AM]
I did click on the "send and close" button. Does this mean that my computer is too weak? lol.

[shut iris]

@zenith mortar please follow up on this sir.

[zenith mortar]

Dm me

[zenith mortar]

Got em

[supple cave]

There should be an option to PAUSE the battle during the survival match -- but only non-competitive, of course. it would reeeealy help streamers and coaching sessions

[worldly egret]

Why can't I log in? It always says authentication failed

[timid river]

I solved it but thanks, I was wrong about how it worked, I thought that they give my computer the access but it was given to my account, now I can play surprisingly in an old PC that I have left in my room .
it was a MacBook mid 2010, I even manage to download macOS Catalina on it but then it said that my metal graphics card was not supported.
Now I can play the game, with lag, some frame freezes but Im happy I can try the game.

[low jay]

Does anyone else feel like the beta gets a little dull after a few weeks

[pale fossil]

Understandable, it's only a small fraction of the final game. Socials will really liven things up.

[low jay]

I bet adding a few new illuviuals will help alot. Can't wait for PB2 tho

[pale fossil]

Having a sense of ownership of your illuvials after catching them, I can see this adding to the spice as well. Not played Pokemon genre before.

[vernal forum]

I think once we can build our own decks itll have more replay value. Some days I just dont really like the Illuvials in the deck as much and its not as fun.

[pale fossil]

Snap!

[terse echo]

beta is fucking amazing, playing for about 2 days in a row now - no issues at all 👍

[smoky python]

Gotta remember that this isn't even pvp which will be way more engaging

[supple cave]

I have something I want to discuss for the game in general: all card collectable games that use this "seasonal release of new decks", like Illuvium is supposed to be, eventually became a totally "pay to win" experience over time (or just a bad experience, especially for newcomers, in general) = when, for example, in order for you to have a competitive deck for the arena and tournaments, you NEED to buy a huge premium price for the old ones you can't access anymore (let's say, on the Illuvium Overworld). (I hope I made sense). How do we expect Illuvium to balance that and make the experience for new players -- especially the competitive ones -- keep working and prospering in the future?

[smoky python]

Ranked mode will be standardized

[pale fossil]

We started having that long term balancing discussion a few months ago, I'm not sure where we got with it. Team were very keen on ensuring all illuvials remained valuable forever.

[cosmic geode]

I can vaguely recall from some AMA either Aaron or Kieran mentioning that for the main ranked mode there might be a restriction for say illuvials from the last X seasons only, or some such thing, similar to what you can see in some TCGs

it might not turn out exactly that way, but the point is I'm sure they're keeping that in mind (as well as power creep)

[queen totem]

I wish I understood affinity counters better

[candid galleon]

There aren't any plans for this but I assume they could always do something like MTG, and have different deck formats, some for super olds, some for a rotating set of new ones.

[smoky python]

@proven ember Did you actually nerf me? I cant play anymore?

[unique moss]

What happened??

[smoky python]

I hit Wave 30 and Ben said he would nerf me 😦

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[zenith mortar]

Lol you broke it

https://tenor.com/view/high-sco-grandm-gif-24572667

[smoky python]

I mean I get you guys dont want people to hit wave 30 but I dont think this is a good solution haha

[zenith mortar]

Have you tried restarting the computer? It’s happened to a few other ppl where the button stays greyed because it’s thinks they are in a game and usually resolves itself after a bit of time… longest time period being the next deck swap

[smoky python]

Havnt restarted the computer but I've restarted the client multiple times

Restarted and still greyed out

[zenith mortar]

Did it crash you at wave 30?

[smoky python]

Yah it always does but I was able to play earlier today

[zenith mortar]

I’ve pinged QA to see possibilities, but in all previous cases I’ve dealt with it resolved itself after a short period of time, I think one guy reset his internet and might’ve been a coincidence but it worked

[smoky python]

I'll give it some time I guess. Someone else can get 1st place today

[reef basalt]

Im barely playing cause of this land sale lol. I went degen

[brazen quarry]

I don't think I played yesterday

[reef basalt]

I saw so many sILV2 going your way Fraggy, lol. Have you bought a T2 yet?

[brazen quarry]

No, I got a T1

[proven ember]

You able to get in now? No nerfs, will be a patch note for any changes

[smoky python]

Nope, still banned 😦

I promise I wont go to wave 30 anymore if you unban me

[proven ember]

You can't be banned.... Will investigate. You tried restarting pc ect?

If you're able to log in its likely something to do with your progression.

[smoky python]

Tried restarting client and pc multiple times

[candid galleon]

Don't nerf the smurf

[golden garden]

Is the beta down? says cannot connect...

[light lichen]

Just curious, but has anyone been making any strategies/guides yet?

[light lichen]

I was just playing like 20 mins ago, so I don't think so

[smoky python]

Guides and Coaching are coming soon from Team ACG 🙂

[light lichen]

Oh nice. I'm a bit behind on the beta cos my main PC was out of action and my laptop just not quite spicy enough to run the game smoothly lol

[smoky python]

Yah this game is certainly graphically intense

Heats my room up a bit haha

[light lichen]

haha I bet. my main PC has a RTX3080, so it runs it smoothly without issues on high which looks clean AF

[golden garden]

yea just had to log out and log in again

[white walrus]

wow

[smoky python]

Nice!

[lean ivy]

Well done! If you beat wave 20, you will force LovingAtlas (@coarse echo) to play more today. 😏

[gray tulip]

no support...interesting...anyway gg my highest is 16 today XD

Ryplance is OP Loool

[nocturne hamlet]

hey how do i verify my account to play the beta?

do i have to make a account to this geetest site or?

[broken birch]

whats the best attack against the ador line?

[broken birch]

wave 8, the deer in the back right absolutely f'in my bois up??

[candid galleon]

Focus 1 enemy at a time

[broken birch]

as in send one heavy hitter flame/earth at him? and try to space others as far away as possible?

[candid galleon]

I forget who he's with but iirc i just had a ryplance and ranged damage and I killed ador's friend first and then they moved on to ador

[broken birch]

ok so ador beefs up the guy closest to him and then once you take out his buddy ador is easy?

[woven flint]

nah, he doesn t benefit from other

he heals the 3 lowest allies

everytime he reach he s omega

[candid galleon]

Ya he just heals. You can take out him first, or his buddy. Either way. Just make sure you're focused on one only

[pale fossil]

They are coming for you 😉

[smoky python]

I just hope they unban me and let me play the next deck

[pale fossil]

Take it as a compliment, going to make victory even sweeter.

[smoky python]

Unbanned!

[smoky python]

Team ACG starting off with the early #1 and #2

[stark swift]

Hmm just got 13 (for 7th) on my first run.

[smoky python]

Just crashed on Wave 22 Thanks Illuvium

Can we please get a reconnect option. It's 2022 in gaming. Stuff like that is mandatory

[lavish mason]

I'm really enjoying the beta after getting access a few days ago. It's smooth, fun, and lots of replay value. I've got two suggestions around sound and UI, is this the right channel, or better in #814313819185741845 or #802110554784661544 ?

1. Implement Situational Music loop
   Currently as the music plays during setup phase it increases and decreases in tension. I've often found me expecting a climax/end of timer solely due to the music implying this is what is happening, only to find that I still have 20 seconds to go. For competitive mode I suggest that a music loop with triggers tied to the remaining time be implemented. This will make the experience more intuitive, as players will feel how long they have left, as opposed to having to check the time counter.

2. Incorporate Affinity counter pentagon into UI
   The UI noting both team's affinity, composites, and specialisation is functional, but can be information overwhelming and feel cluttered. In addition to this the first bit of advice I received, and would give anyone else, would be to have a separate screen or printout of the counters like the one on the pentagon on the Infoluvial website https://infoluvial.io/affinities/ I believe this could be summarised into the base UI as a simple or standard option, where both teams have the counter pentagon with rings or other visual emphasis on the depth of affinities that they have. This type of solution would avoid the need for an outside of game source of information, while making beginner decisions more intuitive based on visual cues.

[coarse echo]

Downed on 21 again... that's a hard one. ACG still holding the top spots 😁

[cosmic mason]

Pls let us log in by pressing the enter button instead of having to click on Login

[serene lance]

Sometimes i hit enter and then wait for a while before i realise i have to click it 😆

[cosmic mason]

Same here😫 😋

It's a small change but really makes a difference

[stark swift]

The #976752118008545310 channel is prolly the best spot.

[tepid turtle]

I think if the round didnt have a hard stop it would have went on forhours

[river crescent]

ARE U KIDDING ME

was rank 20

get error kicked

[smoky python]

I got kicked on Wave 22 on one of my runs

[quaint nimbus]

Hey guys, suddenly today it's giving me "Authentication Failed" when trying to log in, not sure why that is happening. Could you please help me?

[chilly birch]

did you try to restart your client ?

[chilly birch]

or maybe wrong password.

[quaint nimbus]

Yes I restarted and well, same password I guess. Is there any way I can recover my password? Or get an email for that you think

[chilly birch]

im not quite sure for the answer but i think there's a way for you to recover your password.

[vale bone]

I think you're overcomplicating the game.

Now (judging by the trend of builds and available characters) you make it so that professional players achieve average performance, and ordinary stomping at the bottom.

What is your main mistake? It's that your job is to make sure that regular players are in the middle and professional players are at the top.

In this case, the game will draw in the audience. Because according to statistics 85% of ordinary (5% of professional).

In this case, the professional will feel their dominance and the community will look for solutions and the ordinary will not have the desire to delete the game after 5 battles.

I think you know better than me that regular players make the market of items and give rise to the popularity of the game. By belittling their capabilities you immediately ruin the flow of new users.

Translator could distort the meaning of my words, if there are Russian-speaking administration, I can explain in detail in my own language, my position and give recommendations.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

[smoky python]

The professional players are already at the top

The game isnt overcomplicated at all

[vale bone]

Top is domination, not existence.

Now they just exist without feeling the pleasure of their skills. And the usual, immediately collapse without the tools (which they want) for the simple game

[smoky python]

I believe I'm pretty dominant at this point

[vale bone]

Nuances with opposing elements and synergy should give an advantage in the game and should not be required to just play

[smoky python]

Nothing is required to play.

If you dont want to put in the work then you dont have to

[vale bone]

You are mistaken.

And if they don't listen to me, the demand for the game will confirm it

[smoky python]

If you can't make it to a certain wave then get better

[vale bone]

At least in its autobitual part

[vale bone]

That's what I'm talking about.)

The game must be fun to attract new users. Then there will be a market and an economy

[smoky python]

The game is fun

[vale bone]

That said, the complex nuances should be left for the proffesionals to dominate

[smoky python]

No

The game is the game

[vale bone]

Then the development of the game will go from the community -- ordinary players, and professionals - professional forums and community amateurs

Look at the way blizzard is going with their World of Warcraft

The game lives, not because they introduced a new boss, which is very difficult to kill, but because the threshold of entry is low.

[smoky python]

Every player can play at their own pace

They dont need to hit Wave 30

If you aren't doing well and you want to, then get better

[vale bone]

No, the game doesn't give you that opportunity right now. Because the price of an ordinary victory is high skills.

Ordinary victory should be available to ordinary players, and outstanding victory should be available to professionals.

[smoky python]

What wave are you trying to get to?

Ordinary players can still beat the early waves

[vale bone]

This is a mistake.

I don't owe anyone anything, I came to use this product for my own pleasure. It is then and only then will the game develop, in terms of bringing in new players

[smoky python]

Yes and it seems like you're upset that you aren't doing well

The game does not owe you that

You don't deserve to get 1st place just because you are playing the game

You have to earn it

[vale bone]

I'm upset that the game is going down a path where my $ilv tokens won't appreciate)

And I as an investor would like to make money from it.

As more than a year and a half already am a follower of this game

[smoky python]

Ilv tokens have already appreciated a ton

ILV was $60 a year ago

It is $270 now

[vale bone]

The translator must have distorted the meaning.

I own tokens, and not selling them for even $1,900, I expect to popularize the game. To make money from it.

I like the administration's approach to the game

That's why I try to test it every day and I have high expectations

[smoky python]

Yes I play it every day too. It's really good

[vale bone]

Unfortunately, I did not participate in the land sale, although I had planned to.

Because you could buy land for 1/10 of its value. I wrote about it in detail in my post (it's in Russian) t. me/tales_of_the_crypto/105

Such unpredictable investments (when the price fluctuates from 0.1 to 1 do not suit me.

But we all have the right to make mistakes)

Now I see that development is going on the wrong path, and as a beta tester I'm making efforts to save the game I like

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Although I was planning to buy land, and a lot of it. I even wrote a post before that on how to do it. If you're interested, read here t. me/tales_of_the_crypto/103

[vale bone]

I understand that you don't agree with me. Thank you for your opinion, but my task is not to convince you, but to warn the game administration about the threat hanging over them

[smoky python]

OK but you are wrong

[vale bone]

And just so you understand, the ru community has an interest in the game. Look at the views of my post, relative to the subscribers of my channel.

I did not spend a penny on promotion, people themselves distributed the post. So the game is interesting to the community.

[unreal ruin]

I cant get pass floor 10 today. I think i have a problem with illuvial building. My illuvials are all over the place. When i got to floor 10, I dont have good synergies. any tips? How do you guys progress with building your board? Thanks

[smoky python]

Today's early game was pretty hard

[vale bone]

See? It's bad enough that the average player doesn't get a chance to play for a long time.

10 wave is 15-20 minutes of play, you should aim for 3 hours of average time

[smoky python]

It's tough to give specific advice without watching you play but the basics are a good tank for the front and also something to defend against rogues in the back

[smoky python]

If they want to play for three hours they can start over

Your opinion is just wrong

[vale bone]

)))) You write strange things, if not silly

Please don't be offended, I don't want to offend you

[smoky python]

I'm not offended.

This game can be really hard. That's part of the fun

[vale bone]

In my language what I wrote sounds fine, but I'm afraid in English it might sound rude. So I asked you not to be offended)

[unreal ruin]

True, I tried something like that. I have an Archeleon to tank with the bulwark and empath bonus. But then, I didnt have enough DPS to kill the Rhampite before it uses its omega ability before it wipes me 😄

[smoky python]

Archeleon is less of a tank and more of an off tank/ support

[lilac grail]

The game is not the survival mode. This mode was the first released to test the combat mechanic.. and its fun enough to get challenged from other players with the high score.

[fair hemlock]

Dont forget that

1. This is a private beta. The game is not designed to just be the auto battler. You should spend about 30 minutes in the auto battler, doing multiple different battles every 1 hour of doing a run (i imagine)
2. The lower tier illuvials are way simpler than higher tier illuvials. Your avarage gamer will not be overwhelmed by the sifficulty as is proposed by the private beta.

[vale bone]

I can assume that this complication of the test is made for a more delicate adjustment of the balance. In that case, all is well.

Well, let's say that the alpha critters were identified and now they are balancing the secondary critters. But if they are adjusting the overall balance, then in my opinion it is a mistake. And I try to warn you against it

[smoky python]

Well I can agree that the balance is a bit off

But there are some systematic issues with how they are balancing things

[unreal ruin]

I see. I though he was a good tank because it can take damage and heal/shield. I guess I am wrong. Ill try again with a different tank. Thank you 🙂

[lean junco]

A bit early to judge the good direction of a game when it lacks

• possibility to make your own deck
• gold management
  -HP management
  -Augments management
• new ''satuts'' like fear

balancing will come after that

[vale bone]

I hear you. Half an hour is now quite achievable for the average player. Thanks for the comment)

[smoky python]

Unfortunately today's deck is light on good tanks. I recommend titanor, Goliant and the shield ranger

[vale bone]

I guess you're right.

It's just that I've noticed that day after day it's harder and harder to play. From this I assumed that the balance is shifting towards more difficult

[lilac grail]

Its become a tank after being lower than 50% health. If you can heal it back with other support it can tank a lot. Read back how aegis work

[smoky python]

I got to wave 25 today. The games difficulty is fine

[vale bone]

That's not true.

[lilac grail]

It is..

[smoky python]

It's very true. I did get to 25

[vale bone]

For example, Streamer Bart also reaches 20+ waves. But he is a champion of such games, he is a professional player, and an unusual

[fair hemlock]

You will be really sad when you only get to play with T0s that have the easiest combat mechanics once the game comes out :)

[candid galleon]

Yes it is. We're all competing against each other. So we can all get closer to 30 or we can all get closer to 5, it doesn't matter.

[candid galleon]

So what? He's not as good at this game yet. Who cares? He's entitled to be good at every video game now?

[smoky python]

I don't know who that is but he didn't get to 20+ today

[vale bone]

Here you can see for yourself www. twitch.tv/bart__t

And from the description that he was the champion

[smoky python]

Wait did Bart play Dota Underlords?

[candid galleon]

I'm not sure why you'd assume that everyone reads russian.

Also, I was the champion of my 5th grade chess club. Does that mean I automatically get to wave 25 in this game?

[smoky python]

LOL I remember Bart. That guy was terrible

              About me

In a nutshell, I'm an auto-battler asshole. In early 2019 started playing "Dota Auto Chess" spark, tempest, madness and got hooked right away.

One of the first in the EU upped the rank of "Queen" and started nerfing. For half a year I played High Queen Lobby, max rank Queen#2.
At the beginning of June 2019 started streaming,
By the end of the month realizing that "DAC" was fading - started playing "Dota Underlords".

Repeatedly took top #1 and held it for a long time, smurf ran in top #7
(not a Kappa pontorez).

Incompetence of developers forced to skip Valve

[smoky python]

I always tried to queue snipe Barts games so I could get easy wins

[vale bone]

Translation of his description

[fair hemlock]

Were you a pro in underlords?

[smoky python]

Yes

[candid galleon]

Sorry but "Bart is not good at Illuvium so the game is too hard" makes zero sense.

[smoky python]

Bart was nowhere near the top of the Russians

Russia had some insanely good players

[fair hemlock]

Now i feel a lot less bad that you are nr 1 every time. I thought i should be able to beat you with my 2 hours of auto chess experience lol

[vale bone]

The person who ranked first in the rankings of such games for you not competent enough?

And you are ready to assume that he is a professional and an ordinary player?

Are you kidding?

[smoky python]

Bart was never rank 1

[candid galleon]

I don't care who he is. No one is entitled to do well at a video game just because they've been good at a different video game in the past.

[vale bone]

You're right, but he's closer to professional players than regular players.

It's the regulars who make the game.

[candid galleon]

You earn your place. SJUD earns the top of the leaderboard when he gets there. The game is the game. Beat it or lose to it, that's up to how you do. EDIT: sorry, meant to reply to @Joyza

[smoky python]

Snofe was prolly the best Russian player

[vale bone]

Let's stop flubbing

I wrote about the problem, which is

You can agree with it or not, that's your right.

But the flooding, we blur the attention of the administration, thereby complicating their work. Let's stop it.

Understand, I do not need to change your mind, I need to get my point across.

[candid galleon]

You wrote your opinion, I wrote mine. What's the problem?

[fair hemlock]

I never said that he didnt deserve it :) im always impressed that he gets that far :D

[candid galleon]

I know I meant to reply to the other guy, sry.

[lilac grail]

Does he even know how all the mechanics work ? Or just reeding affinity. As TFT player, you cant play the same way this game than others autobattler

[smoky python]

Every game needs adjustments. I was terrible at TFT

I hit Grandmaster exactly once lol

for 1 patch

[zealous dock]

When is tier 5 going for auction ?

[candid galleon]

But now that you're good at Illuvium, you should be able to play TFT and instantly be grandmaster. That's how it works, right?

[smoky python]

I wish

That game infuriates me. The carousel is one of the worst mechanics ive ever seen in a game

[vale bone]

By attacking me, and condemning my position, you are shifting the framework of normalcy of the game in the direction of complication.

In other words, other normal players. Might not write their review after reading you and assuming the game is simple, they just don't get it.

And that would be fatal to the game. It will kill it.

[smoky python]

The game is not simple and thats a good thing

[candid galleon]

When did I attack you?

Normal players have fun as long as they understand that not everyone can be on the leaderboard.

[vale bone]

It is not.

[candid galleon]

I mean, you can go play tic-tac-toe whenever you want. I don't think I'd like a AAA video game about it.

[vale bone]

That's exactly what I mean

[candid galleon]

Also I definitely don't mean to attack you - just strongly disagree with you. And that's okay!

[vale bone]

Do you play sports?

Imagine you come to boxing for the first time and they put Mike Tyson against you.

Okay.

The second time you come in, they put Roy Jones

Tell me, would you come a third time?

[candid galleon]

What do you suggest? Making a fake leaderboard and allowing everyone to think they're on it?

[vale bone]

Not in any way, it will hurt as well!

We need to make the game more accessible.

Leaders should fight on 50 waves, beginners on 10-20 (to be able to hone skills and understand the game), and regular players on 20-50.

[lilac grail]

If a pro tennis player Loose against a nopro football player at golf, he has to be sad and blame ?

[candid galleon]

Isn't that what happens right now? (except with 20-30 waves, of course)

[vale bone]

We are talking about one game, with the same rules. So it's not appropriate to compare different sports in this context

[lilac grail]

There is 0 same rule

[vale bone]

Unfortunately, no.

Beginners and regular players have no opportunity to experiment. When they hit the 10 wave

[smoky python]

New players can hone their skills now on the first couple of waves

[lilac grail]

The only same rule is the play buttons

[candid galleon]

So... you just want more waves?

[vale bone]

When they balk.

[vale bone]

Of course

So that the newcomers don't fight 1-5

А 1-10

Average fighters not 7-14, but 10-40

And professionals 50+

Then there will be an opportunity to experiment and find a solution

[smoky python]

Why does it matter how many waves they get through

[candid galleon]

Got it, I hope I understand.

I still don't agree, though, sorry. I think beginners have plenty of opportunity to experiment within waves 1-10, try new things, and see what works. That's what I did, too.

And with 50+ waves, the game would take forever for the pros, and probably wouldn't be fun to watch. If anything, I think the game could have fewer waves. Just my opinion.

[smoky python]

They can experiment now at the early waves just fine

[smoky python]

They tried making fewer waves with the last patch. I just broke it

[candid galleon]

I mean they could make them all harder. It's not like there is a huge difference between wave 11 and wave 12 (aside from randomness causing certain waves to be particularly difficult).

[candid galleon]

But I'm fine with 30 waves. Point was mainly that we don't need more heh

[smoky python]

Yah I think the wave amount is pretty good right now. Doesnt take too much time to get through them

It just sucks when you're deep and the game crashes....

It'd be even more infuriating if I had to grind 50 waves and crash

[vale bone]

To achieve this, the significance of the decisions should be pushed back in waves.

For example. In the beginning, just expose the beast.

Then put the tank against the strongest dd from the wave.

And so on

Synergy of elements, efficiency of antistichy and combo bonuses should be removed for professionals, to give them an opportunity there to prove themselves.

Now the admin is guided only by the opinion of professional players, so everything is very compressed. Apparently the reason is that professional players are too lazy to reach the final level.

But because of their laziness game will die, as ordinary players can not even understand it. It will be easier for them to change the game than to constantly have a negative experience from the very first minutes.

[smoky python]

Not everyone is bad at the game dude

[vale bone]

I understand that it would be difficult for the administration to read my posts because of so much flooding.

But please let me know that you have read my opinion.

Then my conscience will be clear, and I will know that I tried to save the game. Thank you.

[smoky python]

LOL at thinking you are saving the game when you have no idea what you are talking about

[vale bone]

The translator at the top didn't translate correctly. I corrected it.

[smoky python]

Also lol at you thinking that the professional players are too lazy to hit the final levels

It's pretty darn hard to hit wave 30

[candid galleon]

I understand your opinion, but I simply don't agree with it. A game (especially a crypto game, which needs long-term players) should be deep, interesting, and competitive.

If new players need help, then there should be more resources, better tooltips, and guilds to help them learn the basics. And those things are either in development or are created as a game gets more popular.

[vale bone]

I think we should stop discussing this issue. Because we have already made the admin's job difficult.

I think I have made my position clear. If there are any admins who speak Russian, it would be great if I could express my observations in my native language.

Thank you all for your opinions.

[candid galleon]

You're right that some things are hidden to many players, and pros like SJUD found them through trial and error.

But that's also because this is a closed beta. For example, nothing explains how to change the ranger's armor. This is terrible! But obviously, by the time the game comes out, there will be something explaining how to do that. No one believes that it should be a mystery/secret.

[vale bone]

Most of the players come to play one at a time. And only then, if you like the game begins to unite in guilds.

With your approach the player will not be able to invite his friends (he did not like the game because it is difficult), nor to join the guild because he does not understand the game. Then why does the guild need him?

This is what will be the death blow to the game

[candid galleon]

I dunno, I think new players have a little more determination to learn. I don't think it's an issue.

Maybe wait and see how the game is once it is finished? Early beta versions are often difficult for new players.

[smoky python]

Not everyone will give up if a game is hard

This is also the simple game mode compared to pvp

[vale bone]

The game won't get a second chance.

The human psyche is designed so that a person remembers negative experiences and does not remember positive ones.

If he does not like the game, he will not come back in spite of new updates.

There is no possibility of a second time to make the first and most important impression

[vale bone]

They don't play to prove anything to anyone. It's about having fun. It's not about proving something to someone, it's about relaxing and having fun. Look at World of Warcraft

[candid galleon]

If that were true, then League of Legends would have 0 players.

Also gamblers who lose wouldn't come back for more and get addicted.

Sometimes people lose but they see others winning, and they think "Hey, I'm smart, I should be able to do that" and then they get into it even more.

[vale bone]

Have you played lol?

Do you remember missions where you have to poke the hero and put him somewhere else?)

Or did you fight the bots?

Lol best example of my point of view)

[candid galleon]

I'm sure Illuvium can create a training mode. In fact, that's what survival mode is supposed to be. And I think it does a pretty good job.

[fair hemlock]

T0s will all be super easy to play with. I dont see why you guys are still arguing.
The beta is too hard. Yes.
But it is the beta. They are testing if the end-game content is balanced.
Pro's like SJUD and other hardcore gamers like it. The normal player will never get T5s

[candid galleon]

I mean it's a respectful argument at this point, all good.

I do hope that tooltips/training are improved. But I expect them to. As you said, it's PB1.

[fair hemlock]

Fair enough. But the point is made right? Its been going on for an hour now

[candid galleon]

I guess so lol

I find it interesting but if other people don't, all good

[vale bone]

The Russians have a saying (an old saying that reflects the culture and accumulated experience in a short expression)

Truth is born in an argument.

[candid galleon]

And I think we found the ultimate truth here, which is: Buy more Illuvium Land.

[vale bone]

I wanted to buy a third shooting gallery, but I changed my mind because the price difference was too big.

I wrote in my post (in Russian, though) how to buy teer 1 instead of 2 for 0.2, and teer 2 instead of 6 for 0.7 ether.

This price dispersion discouraged me from investing in the land, because the final value to the consumer became too spread out.

Conventionally, people who bought a teal 2 can sell it for one ether with a profit, while others can have --90%

At the same time is not clear the economics of these lands, and it is completely impossible to predict the payback (not at the expense of speculation, but at the expense of the game). So to my regret I had to skip this sale.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

I hope I will participate in the second sale. Since I still love this project, I haven't sold any tokens)

Also hope I will have the opportunity to play the alpha version of illuvium zero

[candid galleon]

Nice, man!

[vernal forum]

The argument for making the game more ‘accessible’ effectively translates to making the game easier. Paul Baron on YT also made this point and it doesn’t make sense.

If everyone can rank high without much difficulty and there’s no hierarchy established, then you have a broken game.
People come back to improve and get better and strive to reach the upper echelons of the leaderboard, they get a sense of achievement and progression and let’s not forget, the chance to win serious prizes when it comes to tournaments.

This game is accessible to everyone, and everyone has the ability to improve with it.

[light lichen]

I don't think it's so much as making the game easier. But more about the steep learning curve atm with little to 0 explanation.

Yes I know it's beta and these things should be fixed in later versions with tutorials etc

As a strategy game, there's a lot to learn and most of that comes from experimenting, trial and error. One feature I think would be kinda cool to see is an "experiment" mode. Where you can try out different illuvials against different difficulty waves (and do so over and over for the same wave), so that you can find things that work and counters to other illuvials etc.

This would essentially be an expansion on the casual (not timed) game mode

[echo yew]

Did the beta get another update? My game wont open...

[molten jay]

Can anyone tell whats class relationship?

[stark swift]

This is what classes do while hyper'd. Pretty much everything else that class does is explained in-game.

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[vernal forum]

I’m sure at full release the will be a basic tutorial video and beginners guide provided.

The main thing is that the people who place on the leaderboards need to be the best, they need to have earned it and even though we don’t have many people in the beta right now, your still seeing some of those dynamics become established.

Fair enough you have some people who know each other and what not and guilds trying to get a monopoly but this is just how it works and will continue to.

[light lichen]

tbh I thought he meant class synergy (https://infoluvial.io/classes/)
But thanks for linking that, I didn't know all those extra details about class hyperactive mechanics

[vale bone]

Thanks friend)

[jagged summit]

I think we all just want/need the help menu and a step by step training mode/tutorial. We also just need to play and learn the game. When we were kids and played pokemon for the first time(if you were really young) you probably didn’t know much of anything and sucked at the game. I sure did. Same feeling right now for me with illuvium learning synergies and mixed element types.

[molten jay]

Yep i could figure out some while playing, like earth is good with fire

[summer ibex]

My 6 year old just got to wave 9...then the thing crash lol.

[hollow whale]

Anyone know of a good of build they could send me on pcpartpicker

[open void]

[smoky python]

Now I've got the only 2 30s of the new patch

Please dont ban me again @proven ember

[brazen quarry]

👀

[amber flame]

Is there a document anywhere that shows all the Illuvials that have been confirmed so far? Saw a badass penguin photo and curious of the others

[warm kraken]

You were banned?

[smoky python]

Haha it's a joke. I got a bug where I couldn't play for a day right after I hit my first 30

[warm kraken]

I just played for the first time since patch. Got to wave 16 like everyone

[real thicket]

silly question guys, what is an illuvitar?

[quasi rivet]

Its going to be your in game profile picture NFT. Like this image.

They are going to be very customizable NFTs that you can add accessories to as well. Like glasses, a crown and what not.

[cosmic geode]

there's a couple of communiy sites/resources such as infoluvial and illuvialmaster

[smoky python]

Thats where I died the first time. It's a tough one. Once you get past that though its smooth sailing to 30

[halcyon nova]

just checking what is the latest patch for the Pb1 ?????

[chilly birch]

@halcyon nova check pinned messages.

[halcyon nova]

thanks think Im already on that 😉

[tight bluff]

how many enemy illuvials is there at 30?

[smoky python]

It's capped at 11

[warm kraken]

And ennemy positions feel so weird at that point ahahah

[chilly birch]

the position of the enemies in wave 21 r weird

[brazen quarry]

I really can't sleep any longer

[lilac marlin]

how can i get the pb1

[brazen quarry]

You can apply for beta with the link found in #🔗〕helpful-links

[summer ibex]

Just a small one - when arming and selecting armour for the hunter...once the armour is selected from the different options either side - the “Equip” button should become highlighted / embossed so as to lead the player into pressing Equip

[lost valve]

How to update illuvium didn't play for some time and now I need to update but I don't see an option

Getting this

[brazen quarry]

Download it again from the website

[lost valve]

Should I delete everything first or it's not necessary

[chilly birch]

kind of my @smoky python

[smoky python]

Figured someone else would get it. Deck is really easy today

[lean ivy]

Well Done!!!!!

[smoky python]

16 was legit the hardest wave

[chilly birch]

i used dualeph ;/ in 16 just to finish titanor.

[lean ivy]

What is your gaming background? You came from TFT Right?

[brazen quarry]

That’s where I am stuck 😆

[smoky python]

It's the only wave I died on today

Every other wave I beat the first try

[unkempt cypress]

died to round 18 didn t figure it out yet 🥲

[indigo pagoda]

Hey guys! If I install the beta and reinstall windows, can I still reinstall the beta?

[chilly birch]

i played variety of games professionally but my main game is league of legends since 2012.

[light lichen]

absolutely, the beta download is linked to your account, not PC/windows

[light lichen]

You should record a video on casual mode where you explain your though process for each wave, so us noobs can learn something

[lean ivy]

Very nice, I started playing back in 2013. Xerath one-trick pony. Well, I hope to see you in the future.

[lilac grail]

an auto-attack from Phyriox was bugged, going slowly to somewhere. (Target died before perhaps)

[chilly birch]

you got some scripter mind skills with xerath? ☺️.

[lean ivy]

Ya I love skill-shot-based characters. I played SC and SC2 heavily so I loved high APM. But now I'm getting older and can feel myself slowing down. That's why I look to autobattler games.

[chilly birch]

My main champions are weird. Back in 2016 when ivern came I main ivern and get to GM.

[chilly birch]

I’m guessing ur mid laner, u prolly like syndra too.

[lean ivy]

Ohhh ya I enjoy all the mages. Ahri is another big one. Sometimes I'll even cheese with Lee Sin Mid 😉 But I don't want to take over pb1-disc. I'll dm you.

[candid galleon]

I loved SC so much but the high APM aspect always stressed me out too much. But I've always been in awe of pro SC players.

[vernal forum]

@chilly birch making first place 🔥

[wraith horizon]

Is there a place with a list of terms and what they represent (like Omega, agility, etc...)?

[opaque fjord]

True!

[cosmic geode]

the illuvialmaster website has a good list of all those terms

[keen widget]

guys, i am playing the beta for the first time, and once I double click on the illuvial who is already on the arena I can't seem to be able to recall him after that, do you know how to fix this?

Is the only way to recall them to drag them over the recall window?

Isn't there any way of right click to remove them quicker or something like it

[indigo mango]

hey man, you're access working yet? Mine isn't -_-

[cosmic geode]

Rich has been trying to help me but no luck so far
I feel your pain so I'll let you know when it gets fixed lol

[keen widget]

Or is it that Return points that don't allow me to do it

i need to play for longer before start asking questions haha

[indigo mango]

Yeah was so happy when i got the email... Thanks for keeping me posted! 🙂

[wraith horizon]

Thank you!

[late lagoon]

I did a thing!

[hallow notch]

Nice 🙂

[lethal widget]

Anyone playing on mac? What’s the experience like?

[eternal kestrel]

i cant bear to keep sitting through the early rounds repeatedly after death. everythings boring as shit except the rounds that are challenging me.

let us restart the round in casual mode when we die and i could play for 10x longer

[smoky python]

Don't die so often then

[clever zodiac]

💀

[eternal kestrel]

it would still apply. if you were one of the best players lasting 20 something rounds then thats even more chore-like non-challenging rounds to endure! you didnt think that one through

[smoky python]

If you dont die you dont have to replay things

Pretty simple

I only did 3 runs yesterday

[hallow notch]

Hey, so who has the best videos explaining the advanced mechanics for Illuvium?

[smoky python]

Nobody yet, but I'll hopefully be doing some guides and private coaching real soon!

[hallow notch]

I'm interested in checking out any vods of anyone who regularly makes it to wave 30

[hallow notch]

yeah, I'm sure there will be an audience for ILV content when the game goes publ,ic

[smoky python]

Well there is legit only 1 person in the world who can claim that

And I wouldnt even call it regularly haha

[hallow notch]

just often, you know. Someone who clearly understands the mechanics of the gameplay really well

[smoky python]

Yah getting into the mid 20s is more achievable on the regular.

Getting to Wave 30 takes the right deck and the right opponents

[smoky python]

Wont able to play more for a while so someone better be ahead of me so I can chase them down

[clever zodiac]

how are you so good

did you play team fight tactics pro before or something?

[candid galleon]

You realize you're talking to him, ya?

[pale fossil]

This is the best channel now.

[candid galleon]

He's a DOTA guy.

[clever zodiac]

getting to 30 often would be boring anyway

[clever zodiac]

makes sense

[smoky python]

Dota Underlords Pro

Before that card game player. Mtg and elder scrolls legends

[clever zodiac]

any main tips to get further in the beta?

haven't got past round 20 at all yet

[smoky python]

It's tough without seeing you play and where you may be going wrong

[subtle bone]

Don’t worry, I will. #3 on there right now

[smoky python]

Develop some strategies against certain units and then try and fit multiples of those specific strategies into your team depending on the wave

[smoky python]

Do it!

[subtle bone]

ACG recruiting?

[smoky python]

We are always welcoming new people. We want to to be the stop shop for everything Illuvium

Whether it be overworld strategies or competitive auto battling

[subtle bone]

Good deal!

[candid galleon]

Check out the guild recruiting channel, I'll put the link in there.

[candid galleon]

Nvm I don't have permission to post there. I can add you and send it if you want.

NVM just invited you directly. Didn't know I could do that hah

Oh it doesn't let me unless we're friends anyway

[smoky python]

I got it covered 👍

[modest flint]

Not a native English speaker
The attack speed part seems wrong in describtion to me.
It said increase 15%*OP attack speed (OP is 100 normally)
15% * 100 = 15
but what it actually does is, increase 15% attack speed ( 80 -> 92, 60 -> 69) all gain 15% of its own attack speed

[candid galleon]

It could be a bug / incorrect. I would report it to the Illuvium team.

I agree, I would expect it to add 15 flat attack speed to any ally hit... Not 15% of the Illuvial's attack speed.

[candid galleon]

Try #814313819185741845 too.

[modest flint]

ok! will do later

[grand bluff]

Try submitting a bug in-game instead. I think it's easier to track.

[hallow notch]

Yeah, I saw he's been finishing top a lot. @smoky python any chance you can share some replays? I'd love to check one or two out

[smoky python]

Unfortunately I dont have any runs recorded. But the goal is to provide coaching and stream runs soon

[smoky python]

Back from the gym and got this

[covert terrace]

How are you finding ILV and its potential for being a competitive esport game? Although this is extremely stages of early development and only PVE

[smoky python]

Well like you said this is just PvE but the actual PvP will be really good

[smoky python]

Incoming 30 from @coarse echo

[coarse echo]

ACG does it again

[smoky python]

We're just on another level

[haughty plover]

First time playing today! First time auto battler any tips? It looks amazing props to the team 🔥🔥

[coarse echo]

OP is a percentage. So the base 100 OP just means a multiplier of exactly 1. 15% is how much that ability scales attack speed when it passes through allies.

[candid galleon]

I think he was saying that he looked at the numbers and it didn't add a flat 15, instead it added 15% of the ally's attack speed.

Kinda similar to the air staff issue, I guess.

[coarse echo]

But it's not an issue with that ability, it's supposed to add 15%.

That's why it says 15% * OP, not 15 * OP.

[candid galleon]

Isnt it supposed to add 15% of fernite's op (100) which equals 15? So it should add flat 15 to all allies?

Because OP means the illuvial's OP who is casting.... not the allies' individual attack speed

[coarse echo]

With that logic, it should heal the ally for 100 * OP = 10000

Like I said OP is a percentage. 100 = 1.0 multiplier, 130 = 1.3 multiplier, etc.

[candid galleon]

Ahhhh, ok. I will look again.

[coarse echo]

To be fair the wording isn't perfect everywhere

[candid galleon]

So OP can affect an illuvial as a caster and as a target?

[coarse echo]

That same ability says 1/5 * OP on it, and I'm pretty sure they mean 20 with 100 OP

The OP scaling is from the illuvial doing the casting.

The target's OP is irrelevant

[candid galleon]

He's saying that the attack speed is varying depending on target

If I'm understanding him correctly

[coarse echo]

Yes, it multiplies their attack speed by 1.15, that has nothing to do with their omega power

[candid galleon]

Gotcha

Oh ok I see

Thanks lol. I get it now.

[coarse echo]

If the caster had 200 OP, the targets would have their attack speeds multiplied by 1.3

[candid galleon]

Yep totally. Haha that's hard to explain in a tooltip. Totally get it, thank you

[coarse echo]

Happy to help

[candid galleon]

I am going to need to stare at these tooltips more 😄

[coarse echo]

Nah, just grab a bowl of popcorn and watch the giant red bird rain fire on everyone

[candid galleon]

Hehe true. I am trying to play the big bird as much as I can

[trail raven]

how do I update patch of the beta again

[candid galleon]

Redownload the game installer

[trail raven]

ty

and when is the open beta ? can't wait for my friends to give it a try

[candid galleon]

Sorry, not sure!

Get them to ranger in the discord and hopefully they can get in 😄

[trail raven]

they're not a fan of crypto nor nft game in general so I want to use ILV to change their opinions

[candid galleon]

Beautiful. Hopefully this happens a lot once the game comes out

[trail raven]

btw do i need to delete the old beta first or can i just install it over

[candid galleon]

Hmm not sure, sorry. I think I remember it installed a totally new file? So you can just delete the old one after, I think.

[trail raven]

[smoky python]

Nice kill counter

[modest flint]

15%*OP is 15 to me though, I think it’s missing another /100

[safe valve]

Do landowners get a pb access? 🙃

[chilly birch]

you need to register first in the illuvium website illuvium.io

[safe valve]

Already did that Long time ago

[brazen quarry]

You probably just closed the section

[safe valve]

Ty. Idk, absolutely possible... not thaaat used to discord.

[chilly birch]

[smoky python]

Surprisingly easy 30 today

[chilly birch]

u like the deck today ye ?

[smoky python]

Not really

I thought it'd cap at in the 20s

But some of the waves were pretty easy

[river crescent]

once the setup is done, the high ranks aint that hard

the midwaves is the real magic currently

[pallid maple]

does anyone know how to counter rogues? Thanks in advance

[reef basalt]

Put tanks then have psions wail on them once they kill their first target

[pallid maple]

Appreciate it. Will try that soon as I can

[chilly birch]

game keeps crashing :/

third time now.

[smoky python]

The hardest part about getting Wave 30 is not crashing once

[chilly birch]

they should add the reconnect thingy.

prolly someday.

[smoky python]

It should already be here

[safe valve]

Just a try to joke arround

[smoky python]

It's 2022 in gaming

Not having reconnect is a complete joke

[chilly birch]

yea its crazy

[coarse echo]

bar set. come and get me.

[smoky python]

We're going for another 30 day

[summer ibex]

haha yeh I would - but I kinda need all he RAM I can get while editing my IRL work..I try to not have more than 1 or 2 apps running

[clear valve]

My best so far. Still a lot to learn.

[smoky python]

Another 30 incoming

[coarse echo]

The madman. He's done it again.

[smoky python]

My 25 seed always just worse than Martinis haha

[quaint nimbus]

So like.. every time there is an update I need to re-download a full 4GB of data? The beta doesn't have an auto-update before launch or something?

[brazen quarry]

For now you have to download the game again.

[quaint nimbus]

Right, was worried it was something on my side. Thanks!

[smoky python]

I'm just too godlike

[brazen quarry]

You are on a roll

[smoky python]

🔥

[silver merlin]

Which illivial do you like the most? @smoky python

[smoky python]

RAMPHYRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quaint nimbus]

Have you guys considered adding a middle mouse button (scroll button) x-y pan?

[wheat sable]

Is it as fun as other known auto battlers. Any special mechanics?

[unkempt cypress]

how the fuck are you doing it found a bug for sure 😜

[smoky python]

I dont even abuse the air staff bug

[unkempt cypress]

unbelievable 🔥

[spark moth]

I wonder if there is information about the average player, not only top autobattler pro´s. What is the average pb1-Player managing ? Wave 12-15 ? I am not very good compared to the top 20 or whatever we see posted often 🙂 How about the normal guys out there ? Is my reaching wave 13 the worst out there ?

[smoky python]

Depends on what day it is

Today Wave 12 is pretty hard so if you hit wave 13 thats solid

[spark moth]

In my three rounds today only got to 10... but normal days is about 13. We will see for today 😉

[smoky python]

The really hard rounds today are 12, 15, and 25

Oh no 😦

Should be on the leaderboard though right?

[dark scaffold]

yes, but my target is like always wave 30 😂

one day...

[smoky python]

There will be a perfect deck day for you to hit 30

[dark scaffold]

i doubt there will be deck with 8 Vermis xD

[smoky python]

I think if anyone gets to like 21-22 they can make it to 30

It just comes down to positioning at that point

Since your team is complete

This is Wave 24 today. Not even that hard!

Wave 12 is harder

He always does the job!

[agile trail]

how do i update the patch? it keeps crashing

[dark scaffold]

redownload whole game

[agile trail]

thanks

[near flint]

Any1 having the same problem. When I launch the game, enter my credentials and press LOGIN button, it just loads forever.

[dark scaffold]

i would start with resetting my router and if than would not help. than resetting PC but i guess this you did already

[near flint]

Actually, I did not try router reset, however I doubt thats the issue

[dark scaffold]

just try and let us know if worked 😛 so we know for future if it can help ^^

[light lichen]

Try restarting the game and/or your system. I've just been playing and had no issues

[pallid ocean]

yo

[modest flint]

Hi, I know that Hyper units get 50% of the bonus, but what does that 50% apply to?
Time duration,Radius, Energy refund after casting, splash damage, energy recovery, health recovery, or just stat bonus?

[grand bluff]

See Pinned Messages.

[modest flint]

That’s not my question though 😂

Rogue Hyper Bonus
Upon becoming Hyperactive, Rogues gain 10% Savagery and every third Attack they deal inflicts Silence for 1 second.

Psion Hyper Bonus
Upon becoming Hyperactive, Psions gain 30% Omega Power, their Omega Abilities gain Splash dealing 100 Energy Damage in a Radius of 10 and refund 10 Energy.

Empath Hyper Bonus
Upon becoming Hyper, Empaths Heal Allies for 30 Health and provide 3 Energy in a Radius of 20 around themselves every 3 seconds.
Take these for example
What would 50% be like?

Rouge gain 5% savagery, and third attack inflicts silence for 0.5 seconds?

Psion gain 15% omega power, ability gain splash dealing ‘50’ energy dmg in a radius of 10 and refund 10 energy?

Or radius of 5 and refund 5 energy

[grand bluff]

Oh sorry. I did not understand your question properly. So you were asking about Composite's Hyper bonuses. I'm not sure if the duration, radius etc are also halved, so a confirmation is needed xD But I'd guess that the % thing only that's changed.

[modest flint]

Yes, I think only the %would be half, but need confirmation on that to be sure

[coarse echo]

He cheats off my test. Why did he get placed in the seat behind me? It's not fair.

Also, Rhamphyre placed on hex 3,429 / 11,766 casts his omega with double the normal radius.

[fluid lagoon]

totally agree with this ... i have more than 2 hours spent on this wave 😄

still trying to solve it

[pale fossil]

I wondered if getting him smack in the middle of the pack for his AE proc is the way forward.

[smoky python]

You definitely want him to hit as many people as possible

[pale fossil]

So would you put him on Adorius for that wave of 24 or try to come in on a softer target like the baby scoriox? Or would you try top right hand corner and hope he aggros on baby titanor and paths to the middle?

[granite cave]

Can land owners get PB invites already? Land FOMO is over, but still FOMO on getting in on the action

[smoky python]

First priority is always taking away the opponents carry

So you jump the Dualeph

[pale fossil]

When do you start coaching?

[smoky python]

Actually I'll be starting to coach now

So if anyone is interested they can DM me

[pale fossil]

What an ecosystem we have forming around this incredible platform.

[chilly birch]

good morning

couldn't play all day :/

[chilly birch]

RIP dualeph.

[spiral cargo]

Yes please. Land sale totally consumed me. landowners get PB1 access 🙏??

[split ore]

Anyone experiencing this? When i look at the board it is laggy but when i look elsewhere whilst moving around it is very smooth

[chilly birch]

what is your graphic setting?

[smoky python]

Tough deck today. died on 16 first time through.

[quaint nimbus]

Do we have a run-down of what unintuitive aspects of playing can affect the outcome? For example, choosing your illuvials is logically critical. Positioning at first didn't seem too logical for me as I was just thinking "It's an autobattler they're just comparing illuvial stats", but yes it is indeed valuable. So choice of illuvial (and resulting combos), position and illuvitar gear chosen, are those the big three things to keep in mind? Or are there some other elements?

[clear valve]

Very tough. I've been struggling on 12. Any tips Obi Wan?

[smoky python]

Play good units. I dont know today is tough

My 12 barely won

[clear valve]

Really tough. Lacking versatile tanks and lacking mid dps other than rogues.

[smoky python]

There's also some difficult waves in that 10-13 range

[summer ibex]

What about before a battle starts - you can opt into “best of 3” mode?

And that way you also are made to deploy your illuvials 1st / blind for the Ai to then respond to .

Only rule being you can’t chnage the actual players chosen - just the position they are deployed in on the arena ...

[unkempt cypress]

Is Zeptyle arround?

[smoky python]

Ok time for some runs

23 is a pretty high bar with this deck

[smoky python]

Died on 17 and then 20 😦

[pearl mica]

yo , can some one tell me how Grit and Resolve working?

[smoky python]

physical and magic resist

[pearl mica]

@smoky python is it work same as bulwark ability?

[smoky python]

No

grit and resolve is flat

[pearl mica]

whats the Difference?

[smoky python]

bulwark is %

[pearl mica]

ow , thanks alot

[slim moon]

@smoky python Is there a formula? Earth gives in 3 gives Grit & Resolve (+15), and Bulwark 30 Physical & Energy Resist, how do I figure out how much damage these indicators block?

[smoky python]

Not sure

[slim moon]

@smoky python Did I understand correctly that Earth gives more protection than Bulwark?

[smoky python]

Not sure

[slim moon]

@smoky python I recently learned about illuvium, asked for access and now I play 12 hours a day) I have thousands of hours in auto-battlers, but still a lot of questions about the game) sorry if I bore you with questions)

[smoky python]

No problem. Just dont know the specific formulas

[slim moon]

@smoky python Thank you very much) I will try not to bore you with questions too much)

[light fog]

same wanna try out the game so bad but im stuck waiting for pb1 access 😭

[slim moon]

@light fog There's still no content for regular players, only big fans autobattle will be interesting to play. Waiting for the summer open beta with pvp and open world)

[silver merlin]

Open beta wont be this summer lol

[slim moon]

What makes you think that?

[silver merlin]

Delays

We are lucky if we get illuvium zero alpha this summer

[slim moon]

The anticipated release date for the Open Beta is scheduled for Q2, 2022.

@silver merlin But I agree that it will come out later, the question is how much later.

[silver merlin]

Soon

[smoky python]

[chilly birch]

RIP DUALEPH

[smoky python]

You lost to a Dualeph?

[chilly birch]

I like to kill Dualeph

[smoky python]

Ah

[chilly birch]

There’s a scarbok, goliant, and titanor all on wave 30, but it’s beatable just need to change some things around

[smoky python]

[silver merlin]

[mint cape]

Well, here's a cupcake.

[brazen quarry]

What Illuvial's rainbow poo did you use for that frosting?

[noble radish]

Kukka

[brazen quarry]

Wind chicken frosting

[tepid turtle]

is there a reason why I can't get into double digit waves?

I assure you I am not bad

[brazen quarry]

Placement important

[pale fossil]

They've definitely cranked up the difficulty, I'm also struggling.

[tepid turtle]

Ben out to get us bro

[mint cape]

Thanks mate!

[lean ivy]

Ya, I saw you you up there. Congrats! 29 today is impressive. I'm surprised. The deck feels weak to me. I Got to 20 but I need to play some more. I'll try and chase you down later. ;)

[zenith mortar]

I assure you its this

[summer ibex]

Not just a game...but can double up as Pure Art as well! Man I love zooming in close to the action ! 😻🤲🏻

[chilly birch]

yea the deck doesnt have lot of stage 3 illuvials.

[molten jay]

Have problem to do waves air illuvials they heal a lot and plus get shields, what do u counter them?
