🎮〕illuvium-arena

[smoky python]

Yah I'm not excited at all about any type of survival pvp

I want the actual game

[covert terrace]

He was referring to the survival PvP mode pretty sure, but that won't be coming in PB2 if I remember what Kieran said correctly

[noble radish]

The release schedule is: survival competitive -> survival tournaments -> ascendant -> ranked -> survival pvp.

Ranked is just ascendant with the ranking infrastructure and lobby.

[smoky python]

Bring on ascendant!

[coarse echo]

Thanks for the update! Nice to have a better picture of the release order

[smoky python]

Just out of curiosity is there a reason you guys are so focused on Survival rather than Ascendant?

Speaking as a competitive player I am really only interested in Ascendant stuff

[noble radish]

Cool.

[noble radish]

We are focused on the combat engine.

[smoky python]

Ah ok. So perfect the combat in the casual mode so its ready for PvP

Makes sense

[covert terrace]

I think Aaron's focus is getting the fundamental foundation right first with developing the whole system

PVP will get its time, Illuvium make it clear that competitive is a major focus for the game

Just remember everything is still so much in development, private beta is to help the team out with what they need for development first and foremost

[smoky python]

Yup I agree. Need that combat to work as intended before getting the actual ranked out

[bronze canopy]

best on what criteria? on a private beta that barely anyone plays?

[smoky python]

Scoreboard

Tournament success

[bronze canopy]

you are also the longest people who play right?

[smoky python]

Nope I got in on like the 2nd or 3rd wave

[bronze canopy]

idk about waves gimme weeks.//months

[smoky python]

Ah a couple of months now

[bronze canopy]

yea so most experienced rather than the best i would word it

[noble radish]

So just to understand a bit more clearly:

All arena modes use the exact same combat engine. The battle that plays only depends on units in positions. Everything after that is “the combat engine”.

All the rules before and after? That’s each “game mode”.

The server knows the rules and provides all the data to the client about everything.

Survival Mode tests the combat engine AND the server interactions.

Saying “I just want pvp” is all well and good, but if we did it that way you’d be waiting longer.

[smoky python]

Yah I definitely get it and I want things working smoothly

I was just curious on that roadmap

[smoky python]

Well I've gotten 1st and 2nd in the two tournaments I've played in and I'm first place almost every day on the leaderboard

Good try though

[bronze canopy]

yea again, on a private beta that barely anyone plays

[smoky python]

Sure I agree

Doesnt change the facts though

[bronze canopy]

good

does change their weight though

[smoky python]

Correct

I believe you can refer back to my previous statement

[bronze canopy]

sounds like empty words to me idk man

[bronze canopy]

but hey it is what it is

[smoky python]

I get you're mad at it but you're right. It is what it is

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[noble radish]

Seriously, you both sound insufferable right now. Just take a breath for a few minutes.

It’s just a beta. No need to fight over what it means to be the best.

[zenith mortar]

You know what I’m mad about… the amount of mosquitoes on earth

[coarse echo]

agreed

[bronze canopy]

coming from the Warwick brother? Aaron, aint this is what its all about

[smoky python]

hahaha

[bronze canopy]

its all good,,,, gotta banter a bit yknow

[smoky python]

As long as you recognize facts

I'm all for banter

[bronze canopy]

I know a fact

they fixed a major bug you guys talked about a few days ago

seeing 30 next to your names

[zenith mortar]

You guys wanna know who is best

It’s me

I been sandbagging

Just wait

[noble radish]

Trust me, I’m an expert on what insufferable sounds like. But I’m in rehab.

[zenith mortar]

It’s beta so I only put 10%

[smoky python]

Yah I like how they made it harder

Game was way too easy before

[zenith mortar]

Do you play on competitive or casual?

I only play competitive… call me a maxi

[bronze canopy]

guess

[smoky python]

Casual for leaderboard grinding but I play very fast

[zenith mortar]

Then why causal

If your fast

[smoky python]

The 1 minute timer doesnt really matter if you watch my tournament games

[zenith mortar]

Then play competitive lol

[smoky python]

Sure but I also want to guarantee a max out

When competitive comes out I'll be fine

[covert terrace]

Make sure you stay in rehab, we need at least 1 of the Warwicks to be the calming voice

[zenith mortar]

Well soon… casual won’t make leaderboard lol

Soooo

[smoky python]

Yah wont be a problem

[coarse echo]

no one on the leaderboard is on competitive. some people take 2hrs for one run. When there is a competitive leaderboard, it will be a thing

[smoky python]

^

[brazen quarry]

Soon

[zenith mortar]

Lol I only play competitive is this why I don’t make leaderboard

Cause I don’t play the broken way

[brazen quarry]

Nah, you just bad

[zenith mortar]

#truuuuuth

[bronze canopy]

I actually will switch to competitive

Zeptyle cant be the only one

[smoky python]

Caveman also does every first run on competitive

[zenith mortar]

I literally can’t if I play casual and start just chatting elsewhere and forget I’m playing… I like being engaged in the timer

[brazen quarry]

I only put it on casual cause I gotta reply on chats 😅

[zenith mortar]

We can fix that

[bronze canopy]

yea, thats the only reason

am i bugged hello

wow weird

[zenith mortar]

No mine is trippin too

Like not sending messages

[bronze canopy]

yea

[brazen quarry]

I’m not on leaderboard anyway

[bronze canopy]

am i really gonna spend my day off grinding competitive for hours on end

yes yes i am

[smoky python]

Wait you actually have a job?

And still grind 10 hours a day?

holy shit thats dedication

[zenith mortar]

Yup

[zenith mortar]

People work?

How about this….

[bronze canopy]

@dark scaffold i just wanted to tune in

[smoky python]

Well I'm coaching some Illuvium later so yah I got work

[zenith mortar]

I need coaching I’m terrible honestly

No joke lol

But

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/water-boy-coach-visualize-and-attack-gif-14018747

[brazen quarry]

Even after coaching I’m horribad 🤣

[bronze canopy]

did you get coaching form the BEST coach?

or just a regular one?

[smoky python]

The best

[bronze canopy]

uh....huh

wen rank 1 fraggy

[brazen quarry]

Oh it’s already a while back, I didn’t improve much

[zenith mortar]

I wanna make a deal and whoever plays competitive on the first day that the updated client with augments and shit come out I’ll give an eth lizard to that person… but you gotta be #1 at the time the deck switches

[smoky python]

How will you know if we use competitive or not?

[brazen quarry]

Because it will be the only way to be on the board

[bronze canopy]

if the deck is gonna be the same as in casual, people will go to casual, get screenshots, come to competitive and win

[brazen quarry]

No lizard for me

[zenith mortar]

Ppl wanna skirt the system I can just say never mind lol

Maybe we do the first round only

[bitter haven]

I want an ethlizard so bad please do this

[smoky python]

Yup this is correct

[brazen quarry]

Just give it to me Rich, I'll be sleeping 😏

[zenith mortar]

I hate cheaters

[smoky python]

Me too

Some people still use air staff....

[fair hemlock]

I really dislike Air staff because your ranger becomes so absolutely useless against Rake+Umbre combo. +placement is dumb as your ranger has 10 less range than your other illuvials so she is the first to go once your tanks die.
Overall i dont think Air staff is that broken 🤷‍♂️

[smoky python]

It is broken.

Position correctly with the right Illuvials and you get clean 9-0 sweeps in the late 20s

It's brokenness is very dependent on the deck though

[fair hemlock]

Alright! I used it like 4x and then quit because of the aforementioned reasons 😂

[smoky python]

Yup cant just put it on any board

[zenith bough]

24 H grind incoming

[smoky python]

Marathon session. Who can play the longest to win a 🦎

[zenith bough]

Me

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/red-bull-need-energy-drink-red-bull-gi-fs-gif-9258908

[spare sphinx]

Hey there, I'm trying to up my game regarding classes and was wondering if anyone has some tips regarding fighter and psion Illuvials. I know how to use empaths, bulwarks and rogues, but I'm struggling to understand the right usage of fighter and psion Illuvials. What are the things to consider with those 2? Strength and weaknesses?

[sullen summit]

Will tell u once I can play

[vernal forum]

@proven ember it would be different decks yeh ? Or will you guys have another way or preventing that work around ?

[bronze canopy]

its not their job to prevent this work around for a community event that rich does out of pocket

[vernal forum]

Nah, It’s done by the team regardless, so it’s pointless if there’s a work around. Community events shouldn’t have loopholes the same way the main game shouldn’t

[umbral glen]

I've been playing pb1 the last couple of weeks, but now my account is no longer allowed to play it. Any idea why this would be?

I mean, I'm pretty bad at it, but not THAT bad.

[zenith bough]

This would have been my joke

[dark scaffold]

i believe some of the guys had this same problem and it fixed itself after deck reseted, but to be sure we can disturb Rich a little 🙂

[smoky python]

Is the play button greyed out for you?

I had that bug I think 3 days last month

You have to wait for the deck reset like dziersky said

[umbral glen]

No, I just log in, and I get a box that says this account is not allowed to play pb

[smoky python]

wtf

[umbral glen]

Happens after I complete the authorization puzzle

[dark scaffold]

if its after the puzzle we had some good results after reseting your router (dont ask me why)

[umbral glen]

At a hotel, so no dice there I'm afraid. If it just needs a deck reset, I can wait a day, no big deal.

[smoky python]

hmm maybe hotel ip address?

Dont listen to me though I am terrible with computer stuff

[umbral glen]

I'm on a VPN, but I'm always on a VPN, so I doubt it's that.

[smoky python]

Ah ok

[dark scaffold]

could you reset your vpn, and choose differed gateway?

[umbral glen]

That did it! Thanks a lot. Guess they like New York better than they do Phoenix.

[mossy swallow]

I dont know you, But the puzzle is really hard. ahahhaah several times I take over 4/5 times to complete it HAHAHAHA

[weak flicker]

There needs to be a graph when placing illuvials to show distance

[proven ember]

Competitive and Training have different decks

[weak flicker]

@zenith mortar

[rain coral]

Better Ben

[weak flicker]

What?

[dark scaffold]

"Better Ben" - dzierski's translator v2.0:
Its better to contact Ben in this case cuz he is THE man when it comes to beta features. (and beta things overall)

dzierski's adviser v1.0:
better to don't ping Ben (sunday), i can bet my lunch that he already preparing something like this

[brazen quarry]

I got to wave 20 but then I had to go, already regret not trying.
Probably first time I'm top 10

[lean ivy]

Ohhhh shit, just saw this, Let's Gooo!! Day one, new build. I'll take a Liiiiizard!

[autumn dock]

How do you equip your character with different weapons?

[dark scaffold]

shift + right click

[autumn dock]

Thats awesome, thank you!

[zenith mortar]

Think it’s gonna be harder then just “I’ll take the lizard” hahaha

[worn thicket]

@bronze canopy wins this ez xDDD

[bronze canopy]

what i lack in skill i have in resolve

[worn thicket]

😂 👍 Keep working hard bro 🙂 i'm here if you need any coaching 😉

[bronze canopy]

where's the fun in that

[zenith bough]

Oh well then, there goes my hopes of getting anything

[lethal widget]

The enemy waves the last couple days have been especially engaging

Not sure if anything has changed re placement decision-making/process, but enjoyed them for sure

[bronze canopy]

this was the GetHumbled patch 1.0

[tight bluff]

Thanks for letting us know cadence of patches once things settle, was curious!

[loud dove]

Cant het through lvl12

[bronze canopy]

i believe in you

[naive mantle]

Does anyone know what time the daily deck usually switches? 🙂

[dark scaffold]

ME! 00:00 utc

[naive mantle]

Perf thank you!!

[dark scaffold]

i saw you writing garf xD

[naive mantle]

I might stream as the new deck kicks in

[fair hemlock]

Im on the phone... so slow :/

[dark scaffold]

OR around time when normal ppl DO NOT SLEEP!! like 7 hours after that

[naive mantle]

Thats only 8pm where im at 😅

[dark scaffold]

you see... perfect

[naive mantle]

Less people to watch me suck

Today im stuck on 13 and yesterday i only got to 11

[dark scaffold]

oh boy, tomorow is your training session in voice chat

[naive mantle]

Dealio lmao

[civic grotto]

Reached wave 17 today, new personal record. 🙂

Titanor is chad tank

[candid galleon]

Nice, congrats on the new PB

[vestal vault]

Oh wow Zeptyle, the one and only. I have heard about you. Are the legends true?

[coarse echo]

HYPE

[smoky python]

EZ

[lean ivy]

Damn and when I thought I tied with first place GG Gents

[smoky python]

haha

Just gotta accept that we will always be on top

Using Trashbird on 27.....

and Dash......

[coarse echo]

nice dash

[coarse echo]

GG

[smoky python]

I just realized getting 30 with these new waves is prolly just gonna make them make it even harder now

https://tenor.com/view/the-hangover-we-fucked-up-gif-19033802

[lean ivy]

How did you handle all the earth and fire?(axon?)

I added the dash just to counter the earth.(silenced for days) It almost worked to. It came down to a ramphyere for ramphyere ult.

And there is no way I will accept defeat 😌

I played solo today past 20, once I get someone to work with regularly I'll be fighting you at the top.

[coarse echo]

I only had 7 more "kills" than you @lean ivy but 3 waves higher 🤔

[smoky python]

"I played solo today past 20, once I get someone to work with regularly I'll be fighting you at the top."

To be fair you gave this up

[coarse echo]

good units instead of bad ones

[smoky python]

Yah Dash should never be on your board

[lean ivy]

Lol ya completely buged because I time out several rounds 10-20( just because of bulwarks)

[coarse echo]

I actually drew a lot of the 20s

[smoky python]

Yah lots of draws

Waves are tough

[coarse echo]

wave 29 was malura 50 hp against 5 or so enemies swarming it, super close draw

[smoky python]

Im not even sure it was 50hp

might have been 10

[lean ivy]

Ya these waves were really difficult today finding time to grind will get harder for sure.

Illuvium team, I love this game!! Completely addictited. Great work to everyone on the team.

Can't wait to see what else y'all bring in the future.

[smoky python]

Make the waves as hard as you can

The one thing I do want though is that each wave should be theoretically beatable with the deck provided

Dont want to waste time on something that is impossible

[smoky python]

Decent first run attempt on the new deck. My 18 was laughably horrible all around

[vast flare]

HYPE TAKES THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD AGAIN!!! 👏

[olive hull]

This game is fuckin awesome, few points of feedback but overall smooth, even on a max!

Mac *

[jaunty trail]

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me. I received the private beta email and have downloaded the game but when trying to log in I keep getting a ‘verification failed’ message. Not sure what to do from here but if somone is able to help I would be appreciative.

[rain coral]

see if you are putting the same password you use to log in to the site, or try to make a new password

if you are using a VPN you may have this problem too

[jaunty trail]

@rain coral thanks, yeah I tried to change my password just before leaving for work but I still got the same message. I can try again when I get home and see what happens.

@rain coral not currently using a vpn either

[rain coral]

‘verification failed’ usually occurs with the wrong password or username (email)

but if you change it and the error still persists, post here and we'll check it further

just remembering DM=scam

[jaunty trail]

@rain coral thanks heaps, will do.

[coarse echo]

wait for it...

[dark scaffold]

@naive mantle 👀

[coarse echo]

@smoky python has been upping his tiebreak game

[brazen quarry]

Oeh I'm top 5 👀

[smoky python]

Haha I doubt it lasts

There will be a ton of 30s

[brazen quarry]

Just let me enjoy my moment 😄

[indigo pagoda]

Can we give a synergy to the ranger?

[smoky python]

It's actually impossible to lose after getting to like 24

[brazen quarry]

I died at 19

[smoky python]

You can prolly place your units wherever and still win

[brazen quarry]

You can change weapon with shift + right click

[smoky python]

Yah you gotta get into later rounds to fill out the team

19-21 are harder than 22-29 by a mile

[brazen quarry]

Maybe I'll find some time later today to try again

[indigo pagoda]

Nice! 😊 Thanks
Do we have a list of every shortcuts?

[brazen quarry]

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[arctic pumice]

I have 2 feedbacks: There are some rogue bugs if I place 3 of them, sometimes, not always one of them does not fight. Sometimes when an IIluvial killed it's enemy it does not go to the next one. Happens less than 0.1% of the time, but it did happen. And the second one, it would be nice to include some checkpoints, so if I fail miserably, I don't need to start from wave 1 😛 Minor things, the game is already addictive 😄

[brazen quarry]

Pretty sure they said checkpoints would be implemented

[arctic pumice]

That's amazing! Will try even harder! 😄

[stark raft]

So reading this channel I noticed there is/was a beta, is this public and how would one join it?

[brazen quarry]

For now it's a private beta, you can apply with the link provided in #🔗〕helpful-links

OHHHHH That random number generator hooked me up 😉 Good luck getting up to me @smoky python @coarse echo @chilly birch lol.

[smoky python]

195 might be the highest ive ever seen

So how much help did you get. Dont think I didnt see who was in your chat

[lean ivy]

None lol

[smoky python]

Sure haha

[lean ivy]

I asked for advice once on which side, but she wrote it and I didn't see it till after

[smoky python]

haha ok

[lean ivy]

I'm sensing salt because the AI loves me more

[smoky python]

Salty at the incompetency of the Devs

[lean ivy]

Like you know I do things differently. I was rocking Firesword pretty early I'll dm you. She seems to be of the similar mind of slapping Air Shield from the beginning.

[chilly birch]

you're considering me as your competition now ? @lean ivy

[smoky python]

Firesword ewww

[lean ivy]

Also for anyone interested I'll be doing a Livestream coaching in the Polemos Server on Wednesday 4am UTC if anyone wants to see how I find creative ways to build teams.

[smoky python]

Jeez trying to undercut my prices

Well if anyone wants to get coached by the actual best player in the world then hit me up

[naive mantle]

@naive mantle 👀
@dark scaffold pure maddness

[dark scaffold]

you mean pure madness to not show up?

[weary sinew]

what dose grit and resolve do?

[lilac grail]

Go see dictionary from Illuvialmaster 😉

*Flat damage reduction

[stone haven]

Is illuvialmaster a fan made or official doc site?

[smoky python]

It is the official site of Hyperion

Best Illuvium site out there

[weary sinew]

thanks

[naive mantle]

you mean pure madness to not show up?
@dark scaffold ill stream today 🙂 so busy with random life stuff. Anyone feel free to coach me and my 10 wave maximum lol

[worn thicket]

shared screenshots are actually a real problem. hope PB2 solves this. Bad players on top shouldn't happen

[bronze canopy]

you opened a can of worms with that statement

[worn thicket]

there is a super cool website for that 😉

[smoky python]

No Self promotion!

[worn thicket]

THATS WHY I DIDNT LINK IT xD

[smoky python]

loopholes....

[brazen quarry]

👀

[naive mantle]

I don’t even wanna bother with screenshots

If I cant use my brain to get me there then i dont deserve it

[stone haven]

Hyperion being a guild, correct?

[smoky python]

Correct

Currently the top ranked guild

[lean ivy]

Who are you referring too?

I haven't shared my screenshots with anyone. @smoky python and @coarse echo, @chilly birch are clearly consistent

[smoky python]

I wouldnt call dying on round 8-12 on a first run every day consistent

And then lying about it

[lean ivy]

We are just chatting about screenshots not how long it takes to get there.

[vernal forum]

Yeh neither is taking an eternity on placements and working with multiple other people

[smoky python]

I work with 1 other person nice try white knight

[brazen quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-humility-gif-10503070

[smoky python]

You clearly dont understand Dunning Kruger then

[vernal forum]

And also, speaking of lying. To claim she’s dying on round 8 to 10 on a first run is clearly not true either

[smoky python]

I've got screenshots

Today was 12

big improvement for her

[worn thicket]

do i really need to say any more? like you really want to push me onto that here, now ?
i think we both know it's a bad idea

[vernal forum]

You have taught me all about it. Taking screenshots of other people ? How sad. If you I dedicated more time to your own flaws, like taking too long for placements, and less time spying on people, you’d probably finish 30 more often. Your very quiet on the days your not top, interesting

[smoky python]

I'm on top almost every single day and have more 30s than anyone else in the world

Nice try though

[worn thicket]

keep playing Dash at wave 27 and playing Teeantee as a tank @lean ivy but don't come like that pretending to be something you're not

[vernal forum]

Someday you may be able to cycle without martinis stabilisers

[smoky python]

You realize we dont play together for all of our runs right

It fun to see you so triggered, you gonna message me again privately asking me to stop ?

[smoky python]

She's a proven liar

[brazen quarry]

Let's stay respectful

[lilac grail]

Your word ain’t worth shit lil fella. It’s funny how quiet you are when you can’t get to number 1, and how pathetic the messages you send me asking me to go easy

[worn thicket]

yo bruuh, got a hard day?

[smoky python]

This is the one interaction we've had in DMs

[worn thicket]

relax

[smoky python]

It wasnt saying anything about going easy

Nice try going for the lie though

[smoky python]

I'm number 1 almost every single day dude. If I'm quiet its because I'm busy

or just dont care

[vernal forum]

Who are you ? And why are you getting involved ? Come at one and not the other, interesting

[worn thicket]

there's not much to say indeed. i'm not interested in your opinion. Sorry not sorry

[bronze canopy]

yes, its called steroids, but work a lil slower

[smoky python]

Hmm

Still gotta put in the work with steroids though

I like the quick pump route

[brazen quarry]

This channel is to talk about PB1

[vernal forum]

You were interested up until the point I gave you the truth. Your opinion never mattered to me, so don’t get involved

[lean ivy]

lol it took me 3 attempts to get to 30 today. You're still at 20 😆 And what wave did you get to in the last tournament against SJUD? Like why are you trying to start something right now?

And Frontline Seeforus is how I got over the wave yesterday(While you were still at 22 and I was at 27) :

[worn thicket]

well while you think you're anything worth listening, ive got stuff to do, see ya guys

[lilac grail]

you have a problem against my 22 ? 😮 , I'm quite happy for this result. don't be so brutal against me

No crashes today, something positive

[smoky python]

Now that you mention it. Me too!

[bronze canopy]

i would flip if it would crash ima be honest

[smoky python]

First day in a while

[lean ivy]

Illuvium Team, I'm sure this is in development but just in case it isn't, Could we have the stats update as placement occurs. EX: Once I place the 3rd bulwark on the board it would update the stats of all the bulwarks on the board with the added HP and Resistances. It would make for a better user experience imo.

[vestal vault]

Zeptyle is a guru, sir

https://tenor.com/view/kill-bill-master-gif-10355953

Just went back and looked. Me and Martini are on a 14 day streak of being at the least tied for first. So I'd say the top is pretty secure

[bronze canopy]

I am the best at bench pressing in my house

Top 1 in the whole family actually

hm? they are not athletes?

who cares neither am i still nr 1

gonna go tell em

[smoky python]

Oh shit

How much you bench?

[bronze canopy]

does it matter

im nr1

[worn thicket]

yeah everyone should think so about themselves

[bronze canopy]

Hm if that is an honest opinion, then i would disagree. The enemy of knowledge is the illusion of knowledge. Thinking of yourself as nr1 prevents from further development

[smoky python]

Yes i was asking a question lol

[smoky python]

You think Michael Jordan stopped caring even though he was number one?

Usually people at the top have such insane drives that they keep going

[worn thicket]

in a competition mindset, you go to a tournament you dont look at the guys like: oh X is very good, that guy won the last 5 tournaments etc

[bronze canopy]

pr 120kg

[worn thicket]

you just go, i practiced well, slept and eaten well, i feel great i gonna win this shit

[bronze canopy]

i dont know, did he?

[smoky python]

That's sick. One rep max?

[bronze canopy]

I agree, but I dont think telling yourself that you are the best all the time is a good strategy

[bronze canopy]

yes

[smoky python]

My best was 202.5lbs for 5 reps

[bronze canopy]

very well done on that

[smoky python]

That was before my injuries at the start of this year

[bronze canopy]

takes years

[smoky python]

I'm working back up

Yah it's a grind

[worn thicket]

being the best doesn't mean you can't learn from others tho so i don't see why you shouldn't

[smoky python]

Yup I'm still improving some things

[bronze canopy]

Look, if this is all for a show, the im the nr1, the best, world first etc etc then I can see that working business wise, while behind curtains the person is learning. However, if it is a lifestyle stance then it is not sustainable

[languid sparrow]

PB1 channel btw...

[bronze canopy]

dont act surprised

wow guys did you see teantee omega? so good

i visti mostly 3 channels, and even that for entertainment

i assume most people do the same

[smoky python]

Well for one, it's just true and two yah it does work businesswise

[bronze canopy]

im the best in the family on bench press too

but its not impressive

that is what i mean

😄

[smoky python]

Depends on who you ask

[bronze canopy]

true

[smoky python]

You may not value something but others do

[bronze canopy]

reminds me actually of vegeta and goku

Vegeta always cried he is the best the strongest the prince of all sayians

goku alwasy wanted to find someone stronger than him

and vegeta is weaker than goku

👀

difference in mindset

[languid sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-is-that-confused-gif-14675917

[bronze canopy]

its not that weird.. we all watched it

[reef basalt]

Oh nice. I think mine was 110kg when I was around 70kg that was years ago when I was younger lol

[worn thicket]

💯

[lilac grail]

easy day today, 2nd run. Who will retry to Tie upgrade ? xD

[vernal forum]

I’d say, it’s fizzled out a few hours ago, so for me to come back and see a notification from refusing to let things go, is a shame.

You called her out in public over a month ago, for being a liar. It’s a pretty nasty thing to come for someone for, especially when it’s not true. You reference screenshots from over a month ago, to back up your false argument, the fact you are still going on about something from that long ago, and holding on to screenshots should be concerning from your point of view

We had a full argument about this many weeks ago, and it was dropped that tonight. But next morning, your back at it again.

She’s not been active very much since, and has not called you out, referenced your comments, subtlety implied anything about you from previous times, and yet you just can’t stop yourself from coming for her repeatedly, even after a long time has passed

I have no interest in starting anything, and I don’t, but if you are going to keep coming from her, and then get back up from other random people in the chat, that’s fine. But if the mods continue to allow it and permit it, then don’t expect for your aggro to go unchallenged

It seems a problem to you that she’s a girl, because you don’t come at anyone else with that energy, and certainly not with the regularity that you come for her.

I suggest it best you just stop calling her out, stop referring to her, and just leave it alone. But if you continue to do as your doing regarding her, whether that be tomorrow or next month, then expect a reply as I stated.

[naive mantle]

sheeeeeeeeeesh

[proven ember]

Saddened to see all this negativity - our goal from this channel is to have discussion regarding gameplay rather than this petty nonsense. @brazen quarry please feel free to start muting, anyone that doesn't get the message after some warnings just boot and LMK. I'll remove them from the beta.

[vernal forum]

It is petty, and it’s twice now that one particular person has been targeted and called a liar, with no action being taken from any mod.

It leaves the girl afraid to post in case they go for her and it attracts attention, makes them hesitant to join voice channels etc

This is why there’s not a lot of women in crypto, and hopefully the targeting stops. It’s twice now, it will happen again and again

I don’t think the guy should be muted, just warned at least and the nonsense can stop

[brazen quarry]

Oh trust me, I know how much some people like women in this space 😉
Don't think because stuff don't get posted public, that we don't see or act on it.

[coarse echo]

Sorry, that read weird, wasn't replying to you. Just a starter to get any discussions directed toward the game and not all this other talk.

[frigid wharf]

Lets hope the shittalk ends at this message cause boy it has bin a shitshow in here a few times...

[coarse echo]

Wow replies and edits are weird

[brazen quarry]

Haha yes 😄

I guess you got to 30 again today?

[coarse echo]

I just woke up and on phone, so having trouble with discord

[frigid wharf]

Better to just skip it all imo 😂

[coarse echo]

I did get 30. Bad tiebreak luck today though, low kill count on the board

[brazen quarry]

Think I got rekt on 19 again, can't even remember

[chilly birch]

🙏

[coarse echo]

Tough waves around 18-22

Beyond that, the deck is so strong it was pretty smooth

[chilly birch]

☺️

[proven ember]

TY

[zenith bough]

Thanks you Ben, for making a great game ♥️

Also, if you could boost my Illuvials with 20%, that would be great

[proven ember]

on it.

[zenith bough]

You tha man. 💪🏻

[brazen quarry]

Errr ser, while you are add it. Pls add my name to the boost list

[zenith bough]

If everyone gets a boost, no one gets a boost

[brazen quarry]

Stupid fair game 😦

[zenith bough]

Maybe get on that boost soon Ben, I need it

[proven ember]

Secret is use the Ant Eater line

[zenith bough]

Died on wave 6 🤣

[brazen quarry]

How?

[proven ember]

We really did a number on the balance of that one.

[brazen quarry]

Don't think I used that but yes, he is strong

[zenith bough]

That’s my secret

[brazen quarry]

Is your computer strong enough to stream?

[proven ember]

I'm guessing.. rogue killed snail

then they focused pango

then had no damage

[zenith bough]

Maybe

[proven ember]

maybe a seascorpion in the opposition? wrecked beetle?

[zenith bough]

I’ll show you guys how it’s done

[noble hinge]

I'm starting to think this game should be more like golf. I would like a 10 wave handicap please.😂

[late lagoon]

Top work mate 🙂

Eee I did a thing again

[brazen quarry]

Awesome!

[late lagoon]

People will get sent to jail for that in the future

[dark scaffold]

think i will moderate myself here a little ^^ feel bad about my post xD

[late lagoon]

Haha I have screenshotted and sent to fraggy.

[zenith bough]

Well done Brian!

[late lagoon]

Thanks I was stuck on 6 for ages too don’t worry 🙂

[zenith bough]

Hope restored

I’ll just wait for real release and catch the best Illuvials, that ought to do it

Do we know how much better a top 1% will be compared to average?

[late lagoon]

Pay to win. Sorted 🙂 il need them too I’m not consistent at the top and only scraped through 21 today I think, I’m pretending I’m collecting for sjud but I may turn and rule them all!

[zenith bough]

You shouldn’t make your plan too public then. 😅

[late lagoon]

Haha good point 👀

I’m not sure il be at the top top anyway so we will see. I’m just hoping to beat Kieran in leviathan for unreasonable amounts of eth

[bronze canopy]

0.5? 👀

[zenith bough]

Just gotta loose small amounts first. Then tease him on twitter for a million ILV and BOOM

[late lagoon]

I’m thinking way more 🙂

[late lagoon]

Yeah that’s a good idea. Il probably do that anyway lol

[stuck mirage]

Wen reset?

[rain coral]

00 UTC

[dark scaffold]

@bronze canopy @analog carbon
schedule for tomorrow:
8:00 am - playing with dzierski competitive
8:03 am - laughing at dzierski cuz he died on wave 3
let's have some FUN

[candid galleon]

I believe in you

[dark scaffold]

AND YOU ARE IN!!!!!! 8:00 am
dont be late xD

[fair hemlock]

timezone?

[dark scaffold]

utc+2

[fair hemlock]

I'll be there to laugh at you ❤️

[dark scaffold]

COME ALL!!!!!!! LETS HAVE SOME FUN GUYS !!!!!!!!

on 3 we all will start playing xD

winner will be muted for 1 hour (need some help from a friendly mod xD)

[fair hemlock]

winner will be muted? why not other way around. only winner can brag others will get the mute of shame

[dark scaffold]

you nailed my reasoning xD

[dark scaffold]

you are in as well so...

[fair hemlock]

yeah i'll be laughed at i know :((

[analog carbon]

Would love to, I have to see how work goes, kinda shitty at the moment

[dark scaffold]

no excuses

[analog carbon]

But you start playing at 7 so you already got to know the waves my dear 😜

[dark scaffold]

will not touch game till we all are ready 😉 (at least i will try xD )

[analog carbon]

Well I will join for the fun 🤣

[dark scaffold]

That's the goal

[analog carbon]

So see you tomorrow, I might be late 5-10 minutes, please wait for me

[civic grotto]

what is tankier in general, 6 bulwark or 6 earth?

[olive hull]

Damn today’s waves are rough..

I’m not the best at this lol

First game of this style

[fair hemlock]

Join us in 7 hours and 24 minutes for a fun time playing the PB ^^

[vernal forum]

Depends on what the enemy is. High damage enemies are more effected by physical and energy resist provided by bulwark but low damage enemies will be more effected by grit and resolve provided by earth.

[indigo pagoda]

Do we have a new deck every day?

[naive mantle]

yep. pretty sure next deck starts in 5 mins

[indigo pagoda]

Sweet! Nice concept!

[weak flicker]

Where is best in depth guide for learning? Me and my girl are just playing around seeing how far we can get lol

[naive mantle]

i wish there was one. watch some of the coaching vids on youtube. i learned some from those

[weak flicker]

Max round 8 so far xD

Tryna figure out who works best with who

[naive mantle]

im not great but ill stream and see how far i can get :p

[weak flicker]

What’s your fav illuvials so far?

[naive mantle]

all of them XD

they're all so good for different situations

im super excited to see the ones that arent in PB1 yet

[weak flicker]

Titanor and adoredo are 2 of my favs so far

[naive mantle]

both those are amazing

titanor is soooo bad around water illuvials though

[worn thicket]

"The Guy Low on Leaderboards" 😂

[vernal forum]

Yep, so if you change that to overall, you’l see what I’m talking about 😊 your replying to me with this many hours later though, and you didn’t get the memo from the earlier messages it seems

[smoky python]

That is overall

[vernal forum]

It’s July ☺️

[smoky python]

Yah its a new month

[worn thicket]

SORRY for having been busy in june xD

[smoky python]

Why don't you look at June and see the results 🙂

[vernal forum]

Let’s have a look at the overall 😊 it shows more than just picking random months, like July, of which we are only 5 days into 🙂

Congrats on being number 3 five days into the month of July though ☺️ Anyway, I’m off to bed, Good luck today 👌🏼

[worn thicket]

😂 haters gonna hate i guess

[vernal forum]

No hate bro, just facts ☺️ have a great day man ❤️

[smoky python]

Deck isn't as good as yesterday but still strong

[smoky python]

Unlucky 🙁

[worn thicket]

still low leaderboard?

[lofty palm]

Damn and I thought #💰〕token was most toxic channel

[smoky python]

Lose the tiebreaker 😦

[dark scaffold]

why my post got deleted?

[brazen quarry]

Self promotion

Gonna be keeping a closer eye on this channel

The toxic ones take away the fun for the good ones 😉

[dark scaffold]

you kidding me right now, ppl are jumping here on each other, talking shit, nothing is done, when i want to do something fun you deleting my posts? its not self promotion

not asking anyone to go to my channel, click on anything

we are going to play in voice chat

[brazen quarry]

You don't know what happens in DM's, something was done 😉

[smoky python]

Free Dzierski! He isn't harming anyone!

[dark scaffold]

i think you shouldnt delete my post, i wanted to make this place more fun and you just decided to delete my post...

from everything what was happening here, i'm getting deleted...

[bronze canopy]

am i late

[brazen quarry]

People are close to losing beta access, I don't think you should worry about this 🙂

[bronze canopy]

dzierski its not on fraggy, core contributors dislike how their product is being misused, she is just following the guidelines

but am i late tho

[brazen quarry]

I think he starts in 15 min 🙂

or 45

Or maybe he doesn't because I delete the advertisement 🤷‍♀️

I'll probably check out the new deck when Grant stops streaming

[lean ivy]

Are y'all joining @dark scaffold

[fair hemlock]

Ou shit it is 8 already

Coming. <5 min

[dark scaffold]

nope sorry buddy, its not place for me anymore, but you guys have fun here 🙂

[brazen quarry]

omg

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/comeback-come-back-sad-face-gif-23415712

[fair hemlock]

wtf?

join in to see 4 of us "compete" to get muted by fraggy! Or just nothing xD

[analog carbon]

see you guys at 9:40 😦

[bronze canopy]

Timmey Bob — Today at 9:37 AM
see you guys at 9:40

[brazen quarry]

[hot merlin]

I missed all this, what r people doing to misused the game ???

[analog carbon]

im back 🙂

im depressed now my mute is over and all are leaving 😛

i thought my punishment is over?

[brazen quarry]

How can I help? Longer mute?

[analog carbon]

no join in voicechannel ?

[brazen quarry]

I'm in meeting, no sound atm

[bronze canopy]

hm, I cant put words in core contributors mouth, but thats the vibe i felt

[hot merlin]

Ok , but what r they actually doing? Literally just curious 🧐

[bronze canopy]

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[thick heron]

Well as someone who's played Autochess since Warcraft 3, I wanna say this game is a great addition to the genre. Look forward to future developments and excited to see the nature of what the MMO will bring (been looking for a game to put a lot of time into for a while). As an objective investor and someone who works in Web3 as a p2e gaming analyst, I think it will make or break the validity of the genre for mass adoption...for a while atleast. What's being done is fantastic and more time they put into development I know the team will strive to deliver on everything they promised.

[young willow]

How often does the deck get reset?

[smoky python]

Autochess was not created in WC3

You're thinking of Dota

[brazen quarry]

Daily at 00:00 UTC

[fair hemlock]

Legion tower defense 👀

[thick heron]

Actually it was, crazy I know

Played wc3 custom games religiously, since 2005

[smoky python]

Illuvium isnt even really autochess

It's an autobattler

[thick heron]

Sure

[smoky python]

Autochess specifically refers to well... autochess

But yah autobattlers themselves have been around forever

I think there was even something in starcraft brood war like it

[thick heron]

Oh really? Sick.

[smoky python]

On one hand I really like the shop aspect of autochess and how the randomness provides some different paths you can go down depending on what you roll

But I also really like deckbuilding so Illuvium will be a good balance

I played a ton of magic the gathering so building decks and theorycrafting is something I enjoy

[thick heron]

Yeah the deck building aspect is something I enjoy about it, gotta do it a lot for my job as a purchasing strategy for scaling with scholars

[fair hemlock]

I had to play that game against my father and bro's when i was 10~. Always lost so i kind of lost my passion for that 😂

But yeah cant wait for it to be added to the game 😄

[smoky python]

You know how many years I played backgammon and checkers against my dad before winning haha

I feel the pain

Makes that first victory sweet though

[thick heron]

Mine was 500

Grandparents are ruthless

[smoky python]

hahaha

[thick heron]

And Euchre

[smoky python]

My grandma and I played a lot of "Go Fish" so I was able to get some wins

With autochess sometimes the build you're in just runs into bad matchups you can't beat since there are 7 other players in your game

But since we will be building our own decks, if we cant beat a matchup then thats our own fault

Gotta read the meta properly and build a deck that has game vs the rest

[thick heron]

Or you have two or three good comps you know how to pivot into, that you know work well depending on items...and they're all being savaged by everyone else

[smoky python]

Yah

I wonder what kind of format competitive play will have since there are many options for deckbuilding types

[thick heron]

I love the concept of your own deck being a time and collectors journey

[smoky python]

straight 1 deck vs 1 deck, can do 1 deck vs 1 deck but you have a sideboard you can add stuff into, or 3 decks vs 3 decks elimination type

[thick heron]

I think 3 deck, 1 ban deck has worked for hearthstone and strivewire (when that was up) could work for this

[smoky python]

I'm a bit biased coming from magic but I like having small sideboards

[thick heron]

I'm not familiar

[smoky python]

In Magic the decks are 60 cards but you can have up to 15 cards in your sideboard

So game 1 you have to play with your main 60 card deck

But for Games 2 and 3 you can swap out cards with your sideboard cards

So if you need a specific counter to a deck that you might be weak to then you put the counter in your sideboard so you can add it in

[thick heron]

Right so that's the alternative to a ban deck

[smoky python]

Ya

So for Illuvium you could maybe play a mostly fire deck with a little of nature/whatever. But if your opponent is mostly granite, you can have a sideboard of Water Illuvials to counter that

Just a different way of dealing with things

[thick heron]

Yeah I think because what I understand of the current gameplay that's definitely viable but based on what I've seen with this game being comparable to other autobattlers, there's so many ways to ramp up synergies so it won't be as easy as subbing (I have no clue, just initial instinct) but a premade deck has it's limits that's predictable for strategical thinking, even knowing you might have to take a loss and play on the edge if your deck doesn't add up

[hot merlin]

Right, had a brief read, what I get is that some are bitchin cause they are loosing and think that some are cheating by sharing screen shoots lol is that right?

[young willow]

Can someone explain how the hero (girl) gets an affinity? Sometimes she covers an extra nature or earth or fire, im trying to work that out?

[smoky python]

shift + rightclick on her

[young willow]

ohhhhh

lol

[smoky python]

Don't worry its impossible to figure out without someone telling you

[young willow]

okay that makes so much more sense now lol

[thick heron]

I had like 30+ runs before reading the chat here and seeing someone mention it

Had no clue

[young willow]

Yeah ive been playing all day

[bronze canopy]

figured it out day 1 wave 1

[young willow]

and ive been trying to work it out

[thick heron]

You sir, are a master at unintuitive beta gameplay.

[bronze canopy]

you know it

[brave moat]

I like the discussion about sideboards, but do you think that if we play PvP with mastery points, that allow us to max out at like 6-9 illuvials, then we'll have the sideboard included in our main 20 card decks. So maybe we're overthinking stuff from the start, without the whole picture known.

[smoky python]

Yup definitely a possibility

[lilac grail]

I was thinking that the 1v1 mode would be hard to manage if this was like TFT, Like APM the last second to do your last placement and the fight.
But what about to have a "Defense Phase" and an "Attack Phase" for each round.
Defense Phase would be that you know the opponent that is in Attack Phase will be able to see your placement and counter you and then you switch.
and then detect to see the difference and who deserve to win the round.

[smoky python]

From what I recall things like Augments, ranger items, etc will also be 'cards' ion your deck

[brave moat]

I think augments are cards, but ranger items aren't.

[smoky python]

Ah ok

[brave moat]

I doubt we'll see the ability to play 20 cards in 1 pvp games at once.

[brave moat]

So we'll have different "Hands" that we can play out of our deck.

[lilac grail]

But that way will be retard.. like mind game and full random..

[smoky python]

Thats what the initial idea is

And its not random

[lilac grail]

Augment and item that could compensate a bad placement against the enemy ?

should be impossible. the placement is to much important.

[thick heron]

Alright, seems interesting. So I haven't seen items yet but if they influence the game as much as other autobattlers, then reveal of placements first then items is an interesting twist

[smoky python]

That was a very early flowchart design

Things could change as well

[thick heron]

I think it shouldn't change much as items are gonna go on your appropriate carries / frontliners regardless, placement is the most important and that's blind

Unless there's some deranged op cc items

[smoky python]

I'm sure there will be plenty of OP items haha

[drifting ridge]

Just going to comment my personal opinion on some of the conversations I've read recently in this channel.
I'd prefer reading conversations from the top players that are competitive but respectful. I would love to see players in the DAO that we could be happy to have leading the way in tournaments, not just through awesome player skills but also in terms of being real champions that people can look up to. There is enough toxicity in the world that we don't need to bring it into our gaming space at Illuvium. No matter how good someone is, doesn't give anyone the excuse to act like a jerk. Not calling anyone out, nor do I care to even remember who was acting this way. Be as competitive as you want. You do you. Just stating my personal opinion.

[reef basalt]

lol 397 atk spd

[smoky python]

Real fair

[lean ivy]

I totally agree and will do my best to be a positive impact on illuvium.

In fact, I think we should not boast anymore and/or share wave screenshots. I'm guilty of it, but from now on I won't do it in this server(I think that should stay in the guilds). It builds the reputation of good players, but it also makes people who can't do that well feel inferior. Some even feel hesitant to post in this channel because of it.

I would love to build a gaming ecosystem that doesn't feel like league or Dota. Those games are some of the most competitive games, but they can be so Toxic. You end up only playing because you are addicted to the competition and hate the game.

This should be fun and engaging. I hope the other Leaderboard players will do the same.

[lean ivy]

If he actually becomes a phantom this will no longer be a thing...But Umber as a slayer could permanently stay in the shadows lol

[mossy swallow]

I am suffering, do you have some strategies to make yours teams?

[brazen quarry]

If you can get granite, that is always a good start. In this version of the game it's also good to put a shield on the ranger (shift + right click)

[worn thicket]

🙂

[mossy swallow]

¬¬

¬¬

¬¬

I liked that granite + granite I guess, that huge tank with that purple, invulnerable for 4 seconds

[lean ivy]

I could help you out, I do my first runs at 8am CET if you're awake. I could give you some tips to get past some of the early waves

[smoky python]

I could help you out too

[worn thicket]

yeah me too, or so would a lot of ppl. But this is not a place to self prom guys 🙂

[drifting ridge]

While these types of self-promotion posts are not allowed, you can write your promo info in your profile. Then when someone asks, you can simply refer them to click your name/pfp and they will immediately see that you are a coach. That will keep the mods from deleting self-promo posts and you display your info / channel etc. via your profile.

[zenith bough]

In the spirit of starting a conversation around the PB1 what everyone’s top 5 composite?

[worn thicket]

depends, talking about their innates or including the ones we'll be able to enable later (ie. 2 mystic)

[vernal forum]

Just got back from vacation to discover I got the Beta email while I was out. Cant wait to get started!

[zenith bough]

You choose good sir

[worn thicket]

So here's my top 5 composites that we know the effect but havent been able to test yet:
Mystic, Wildfire, Slayer, Harbinger, Tsunami

[worn thicket]

Hey! congrats! Hope you'll enjoy as much as we do 🙂

[zenith bough]

Interesting. Is this the raw composite, or does it also factor in the Illuvials which have it?

[worn thicket]

raw composite effect

[candid galleon]

I'm interested in berzerker. but mostly because I just think that playstyle is fun.

[worn thicket]

i am too.... but just because of Ryplance xD

[lilac grail]

Wildfire ? You speak about what trashbird actually has ?

[worn thicket]

"trashbird" as you say is actually like turtle, if you know the techs it does the job 🙂

[lilac grail]

Glad that we play together soon to learn me that. But it Will be hard to convince me !

[worn thicket]

just a bit expensive for what it does tho have to agree

[lilac grail]

As its like a late unit and you spend already 40min to go there.and you loose wave every time you put in. I dont try anymore

[worn thicket]

that's because you never had Ryplance, Teeantee, Blazenite on your board, all 3 of them survive till the end but Blazenite is top dmg with 6k damage and healed more than Archeleon

[lilac grail]

Teeantee ? Why is it here ? Hahaha

[worn thicket]

because there's Goliant in the board too

but i was talking about dmg dealers i had in my comp

[lilac grail]

👍

[brazen quarry]

Aha, I never used the fire bird

[lilac grail]

Dont try if you want reach the leaderboard. As synalph

[worn thicket]

i requires a bit of effort to learn HOW and WHEN to use it. but if you succeed it's pretty rewarding

like today Fernite makes an amazing job on my way to 30

[zenith bough]

I think Zep is trying to confuse us all here

[brazen quarry]

He wouldn't do that, I would remove his beta access

[zenith bough]

But. You don’t have the power? 👽

[brazen quarry]

Only 1 DM needed

[worn thicket]

small sample from my 20 today 😉

[brazen quarry]

I see the bird! 😄

[lilac grail]

She does no ? Seems to saw a lucius message about it

[brazen quarry]

I don't have time today anyhow

[zenith bough]

I think you put the bird in right before you took it out again, so you would have some ‘proof’

[worn thicket]

yep if we f around too much she can tell them we're bad boys and we get no more game 😦

[lilac grail]

https://tenor.com/view/popcat-wen-gif-23885304

[brazen quarry]

You might be on to something 👀

[worn thicket]

😂 imagine you grief the screenshots on purpose just to trick ppl on discord 13h later xD

[brazen quarry]

Advanced tactics, yes yes

[lilac grail]

Could we write an iip for it ?

Remove beta to zeptyle ?

[worn thicket]

Reason? Too good ? 😂

[brazen quarry]

You can write an IIP for everything, just follow the right steps 😉

[lilac grail]

Then its the council that vote for ?

Easy

[worn thicket]

i mean hopefully at least one of them stands for me xD

[zenith bough]

You need 3 though

[brazen quarry]

Haha I don't think it would make it to a vote, there are steps that have to be followed

[worn thicket]

i'm happy with one, not sure i deserve more xD

[zenith bough]

When Zep is gone, only 20 more to go before I claim top spot. Nice nice

[lilac grail]

Mmh that give me the 3rd place instead of 4th

[zenith bough]

You’ll be booted too, just wait. Need an angle though 🤔

[worn thicket]

so you expect yourself the 4th best player around @lilac grail ? 😉

[lilac grail]

Just follow the actual leaderboard

[zenith bough]

And actually, only 16 is needed for me to claim top spot!

Noice noice.

[worn thicket]

today or the monthly?

btw what does the actual leaderboard for today look like? is someone playing?

[bronze canopy]

3 playes 30, like 4 players 24 and the rest 19ish

[worn thicket]

really? oh lemme check you make me too curious now

wait... was 24 even hard?

[bronze canopy]

cant remember

[brazen quarry]

Sounds like it

[worn thicket]

just looked at the screenshot and... nope not much actually, ppl just need to make sure they solve all the threats quick enough

[lilac grail]

Haha let me come back from work and start to play xD.

[lilac grail]

Oh didn't saw the today leaderboard. Happy so 🙂

[bronze canopy]

nah it was actually not too hard, scoriox was in the forn if i remember

i overfocused the dualeph

[worn thicket]

yeah looking at it doesnt seem too hard and tbh honest once i solve 19 i just never lost till 30

because what makes it hard before that is just the lack of MP. once you can play whatever you want it gets pretty easy

[bronze canopy]

yeah, but when i get to the stage of being in mid 20s

im just exhausted after 7-9 hours

ill go for a few more runs

[worn thicket]

did you consider taking breaks? i honestly don't know how you do to keep grinding the same waves over and over all the time like you do

[bronze canopy]

I always consider taking breaks, I am just unable to

i have an addictive personality

it can be anything really

[worn thicket]

actual leaderboard who was PerkArchos ? can't remember

[candid galleon]

That's @late lagoon

[worn thicket]

oh GG @late lagoon ! 👌 welcome to today's 30 club!

Today i'll be your host 🍾

[late lagoon]

I was there yesterday too. Might be making a habit of it!

Ooo is that frobei on 29. Surely he will play again lol

[worn thicket]

yeah but yesterday i didn't play enough time to get there so i wasn't able to host you 🙂 what do you drink ?

https://tenor.com/view/celebrate-champagne-splash-pop-party-gif-5502137

[late lagoon]

Everything 👀

[worn thicket]

yeah it's him but he's busy this evening from what he told me so i hope for him he can replay later

[worn thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/day-drinking-zach-galifianakis-maragarit-time-gif-21586263

[late lagoon]

We have pretty good rng kill count anyway so hopefully safe 🙂

[worn thicket]

bruh xD 202-201-200 is mad! xD tie breakers today went nutz! if frobei or anyone else gets exactly 203 i'll be pissed ngl xDDD

[late lagoon]

Yeah it’s almost not worth him getting 30 just to stay in the same position 🙂

[worn thicket]

i mean Caveman has pretty bad tie breakers tbh

[late lagoon]

Yeah think he was top yesterday tho out of 6 ppl so swings and roundabouts

[worn thicket]

like somehow frobei killed more units on wave 29 than Caveman xD

[late lagoon]

Skills

[worn thicket]

didn't Martini end up in front of him ?

[late lagoon]

I didn’t think so might be wrong though

[worn thicket]

my bad xD @coarse echo is the worst ever at tie breakers

[late lagoon]

I need the rng I’m a bit behind on the leaderboard. Struggled the first few days this month

[worn thicket]

yeah Friday was tough iirc

[coarse echo]

Good thing I was the only 30 day before that and didn't have to tiebreak 😉

[worn thicket]

haha i win tiebreakers today because i was the first reaching it

[lethal widget]

Rngesus doing work

Re the competitive vs casual leaderboard: if casual is removed from the leaderboard separate waves will be needed for that mode, otherwise

• people will just learn the waves on casual and then move them over to competitive
• we’ll get the same end result, just with lower quality of life

Not sure how much automation there is in wave generation (I.e. how easy to implement), but would give us effectively 2 wave sets to play a day (double the fun for us, double the info for the team) and delineate the modes more clearly

[brisk agate]

what is good to play vs nature ?

anyone have that chart handy

[fair hemlock]

Fire = +2, Earth = +1.
Fire burns nature, while you can throw rocks at plants to destroy them as well.

[brisk agate]

thanks !

[bronze canopy]

i throw rocks at everything to destroy it

air? eat a rock. Leaf? rock. Fire? Ima rock on it. earth? Eat rock bish

[fair hemlock]

Take that Mr Plant!

[brazen quarry]

[brazen quarry]

What did @warm kraken do wrong

[fair hemlock]

Everything.

[bronze canopy]

what didnt he do wrong

[brazen quarry]

wow

[brisk agate]

where can i find that image that someone made about wich synergies was good against what

[candid galleon]

there is a good tool on IlluvialMaster

[brisk agate]

thanks

[brazen quarry]

I personally use the one from infoluvial

[bronze canopy]

i drew mine on a piece on napkin

still works

[brazen quarry]

I'm gonna throw T0 Illuvials against my wall in the right order

[bronze canopy]

🤔

this went over my head

guess its time to sleep

[analog carbon]

@dark scaffold @bronze canopy @fair hemlock @lean ivy are we going tomorrow for that sweet little contest again?

It was actually really fun

[bronze canopy]

sure

if i am gonna be last again gonna do 500 sit ups

on stream

[brazen quarry]

Maybe I’ll join

[analog carbon]

We also need @smoky python as commentary again 🤣 was so much hype and emotions 🤗

[coarse echo]

what time was this? I went to sleep early last night, but would love to see it happen again.

[coarse echo]

I believe they said there will be a separate set of waves

[lethal widget]

Awesome

[brazen quarry]

Correct

[analog carbon]

It’s 8:10 am german time (I think utc +2)

[smoky python]

I'll be there

[olive hull]

Hey can you link to this?

[candid galleon]

Cant post links, sorry. But you can just put it into your browser or google it.

[vale moon]

I cant wait for the overworld.

[vernal forum]

Is there a quick reference guide somewhere that shows details like every strength/weakness pairing been searching and youtubing and not having much luck

[fair hemlock]

you could check out the pinned messages! there are a lot of charts there for affinity advantages (Hyper charts) 🙂
#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[vernal forum]

thx, that's what I needed

[fair hemlock]

This one is a little more intuitive but can't be used as easily for the composite affinities.

[vernal forum]

Oh man, client crashed while I was putting together the winning build for wave 12. All progress gone 😦

Other than that, fantastic stuff so far!

[iron patio]

happened to me at wave 13 😦

[iron patio]

its fun playing. Failed at wave 17.

[smoky python]

Decent run

[bronze canopy]

did you guys already do it or is it in 30 min

[brazen quarry]

I believe it's in 30 min

[bronze canopy]

ah i thought sjud is gonna join us as well

[bronze canopy]

aight ima hype myself up with some naruto AMV and lets do it

[analog carbon]

Good morning dear friends 🙂

@brazen quarry you gonna join today? 🙂 (i mean playing also?)

[brazen quarry]

Sorry, I can't

[analog carbon]

😦 no worry my dear

@lean ivy @fair hemlock @dark scaffold @smoky python waiting on you guys 🙂

anybody else that didnt played already today and wanna join our little contest? (playing simultanously, competetive mode, who can go the furthest)

[smoky python]

@analog carbon Sorry was in the middle of a deep run 😦

[analog carbon]

sorry i hope i didnt disrupt you 😄

[smoky python]

haha nope all good

[analog carbon]

well all but shabim are still sleeping i seems anyway 😦

[coarse echo]

ah, I forgot about the comp, was gonna check that out. Maybe another night

[brazen quarry]

Who won 😏

[bronze canopy]

those who showed up 😏

[shrewd venture]

I want play it too 🥲

[lean ivy]

Ya Sorry had a meeting come up and could not make it. 6amUTC is perfect time for me most days so ill try to be there.

[vernal forum]

having to start over after losing in this beta mode is extremely frustrating and painful. The client should allow you to try again with your board as it was at the level you are at, or move backward a level or two in case you need to change your buildup in order to get thru the tough level. Having to start all over again is way too time consuming and you are going to frustrate users long-term to the point they wont want to play IMO

[brazen quarry]

There will be checkpoints in the next version

[bronze canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-stewie-griffin-gone-crazy-insane-letter-l-gif-17135412

[tribal glade]

When are we getting hearts ablaze though! That’s the real question!

[zenith bough]

Just treat it like: okay, not good for enough, gonna get better. And analyse every level from new to try and beat it ‘more’ than the last time. It’s actually quite rewarding

[vernal forum]

Completely disagree, and so do the devs apparently as they are planning to implement checkpoints. I played for several hours yesterday, and while it's easy to tell yourself this the first few times you go back to the beginning, it becomes quite boring after awhile and I'm certain gamers will not tolerate this long term. Additionally, for beta testing I assume the bulk of the interest lies in how the more complex scenarios perform, and wasting 10-15 min to replay levels 1-10 every time I have to restart is telling the creators nothing of interest either

[lean ivy]

We all agree with you. And this has already been leaked for the PB2. You can find how the checkpoints will work in the #🚰〕leaks channel. But I will mention that you can learn a lot from repeating the early waves, As @zenith bough stated. Some of the 1 on 1 match-ups you can test will be useful not just for Survival but for PVP when you need to know who will win in a match-up.

[bronze canopy]

yes, first 20-22 waves are usually haarder than the 22-30 ones

1-22 waves *

[zenith bough]

I understand what you are saying and I am looking forward to the checkpoint system too. A lot! It what just a comment on how I cope until that stage. And for me personally, the setup now is already really rewarding and interesting.

[stone haven]

Interesting, would have thought it'd be the other way around!

[orchid cobalt]

What's the ETA on waves going past 30? (i.e wave 50, 100, 500, etc) I'm guessing PB2, or maybe open?

[turbid osprey]

Yes by ~22 you have your best team and enemy team is almost maxed too, they cant scale much more at this point (unless they put a scoriox in the middle 😄)

[naive mantle]

omg im actually on top of the leaderboards
too bad it wont stay that way xD

[worn thicket]

2 runs today... and i can already tell you... GOOD LUCK with 21! xD

[worn thicket]

GG yeah 15 caught me offguard 1st time too 😂

[vestal vault]

Hi Zeptyle, big fan here

[iron patio]

Game Crashed twice at wave 13 😦

[spark dagger]

@worn thicket come at me bro

[worn thicket]

hahaha G Fucking G ! i only did 2 runs tonight, done till tomorrow 🙂

[spark dagger]

I’ll bask in my win as long as I can then 😉

[worn thicket]

yeah you deserved at least that 😉

[smoky python]

21 is definitely a hard wave

[worn thicket]

hey thanks man! appreciate

[coarse echo]

I did a thing

[late lagoon]

Woop congrats

[smoky python]

Easy 30 day

[iron patio]

Amazing

[smoky python]

Bullshit RNG

[iron patio]

Any Tips for wave 15?

[smoky python]

Same as always. Play good units

Once Titanor goes Hyper it makes things so much easier

[iron patio]

Yupp , I will give another try.

[worthy storm]

So that would mean the strategy element need to be pushed to next level? Ie combinations benefit needs a buff?

[smoky python]

No certain combinations are definitely needed but you should still be playing the top tier units that fit within them

[worthy storm]

Oke thx 🙂

[smoky python]

Don't play a bad unit just because it might fit your synergy better

[worthy storm]

Building high over broad which one you think works better?

[smoky python]

Because there are a limited amount of Illuvials right now there are a lot of bad ones out there

[worthy storm]

High means expensive, broad means more units

[smoky python]

Depends on your experience level in my opinion

It's easier to play a lot of units and not mess it up

If you only play a couple high cost ones and you mess up the positioning its a lot of wasted mastery points

[worthy storm]

So basically if you can kill something on there side of importance invest heavily, otherwise dont?

Im gonna try your approach, thx

[smoky python]

Yup

[worthy storm]

So whats your approach wen there is not 1 target you want to kill?

[smoky python]

There's always a target I want to kill

Just gotta be able to identify what they are

[worthy storm]

I will let you know how well its going for me in the future, usually i came till wave 20 or something.

[tight bluff]

wen pb2

[analog carbon]

3rd run of the day

with totaly no help of @hallow gulch 🤣 🤣 🤣

❤️

[hallow gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-elf-buddy-the-elf-throne-of-lies-christmas-gif-3580667

🤪

[late lagoon]

@hallow gulch do I try again to win the tie break? Or enjoy a day of not playing for 5 hours

[hallow gulch]

wow same time and kills as @coarse echo thats a mad level draw

[late lagoon]

Yeah il take it. Need those illuvialmaster leaderboard points!

[hallow gulch]

enjoy the rest of ur day

[hallow gulch]

yeah thats what im playing for, really wanna try and get top 10 for the month on there if I can

I've improved a ton over the last few days, hadnt really played for a few weeks before that, sometimes taking a week or two off and then getting back in helps unlock new stuff

[late lagoon]

Not sure I can play for the next 3 days so ul overtake me easy enough anyway

[hallow gulch]

if u know what i mean

[late lagoon]

Yeah it’s the same when I’m grinding a day a couple hour break makes all the difference

[slow iron]

Is it going to be a day when entire top 20 is going to wave 30?

[smoky python]

Yup

[brazen quarry]

I didn't even play yet today

[naive mantle]

Do the waves max at 30? Or for some reason no one can make it further?

[brazen quarry]

For now 30 is the max

[naive mantle]

Dang. So yall would keep going. Ugh 15 is such a struggle for me

[brazen quarry]

I only played 1 game today but I think I also died on 15

[quasi rivet]

Keep in mind after the early 20s you will have the best your deck has to offer mp wise. So then it just turns into positioning and gets easier.

[late lagoon]

Yeah after 21 today it was fairly easy. I died on 15 twice today I think too.

[brazen quarry]

I just did 15 but then got rekt on 16

[olive hull]

made it past 13 today, gettin better for a non gamer lol

[quasi rivet]

This was me today. Played two rounds and 16 rekted me both times.

[idle light]

Hello guys. I just tried the beta for the first time and I have a lot of questions 🙂 I will appreciate your help.

1) Is there any visuals about synergies where I can see what counter what? Like water counters fire, etc?

2) Can I change my in game nickname?

3) I set up all graphic settings on "epic" but my game still have bad graphic. Is that normal in beta? I also have lags. Can the problem be with resolution? Or maybe it is problem with my computer? I have MacbookAir with M1.

4) My mouse cursor is getting stuck all the time. Almost every time I click on something my cursor gets stuck. I need to click again to unstuck it. Is this regular problem or only on my side?

[late lagoon]

1 have a look on illuvialmaster website on affinities page.
2.no til private beta 2 by the looks of it.
3.might just be your computer put the graphics on lowest settings and see if the lag goes.
4. I havnt had that problem so no idea but maybe your graphics card isn’t quite good enough. But def try the graphics on lowest possible and see if that helps

[idle light]

Oh nice website. i'm going to check it out. I will try to lover my graphic and I hope it will help. But the thing is that even with top graphic settings the graphic is bad

[late lagoon]

The graphics are fine on low quality too. It will be your graphics card having a meltdown I recon

[idle light]

Can I affect somehow that my Illuvials will attack a specific enemy?

Does positioning matter?

[idle light]

Shit I hope I will be able to play the game...

[late lagoon]

Yeah I had to get a new laptop for it so good luck 🙂

[idle light]

I gues there could be some graphic optimization for the full game 🙂

[late lagoon]

Yeah they said they would be optimising it and eventually playable on mobile so most laptops should be able to handle it eventually at lower settings I’m guessing

[idle light]

And this?

[late lagoon]

Oh yeah basically they attack the nearest opponent. Same with your rogues but they will jump to the back line.

[idle light]

I changed my graphic settings and it is working fine...

There are so many affinities 😄 Impossible to remember what is powerful against what and the opposite 😄 Crazy 🙂

[smoky python]

Tough day

[olive hull]

Yep.. first day past wave 14 for me so I’m proud!

[split egret]

Can anyone tell me how do I equip shield on my character?🥲

[brazen quarry]

shift + right click

[split egret]

Thx 🙂

[iron patio]

Wave 17 🙂

[slow iron]

Looks like wave 17 is a tough one

[gray steeple]

Do we have an idea of DAUs for PB so far vs number ofpeople who have access?

would be interesting tosee what % of people are playing

[tight bluff]

I also would like to track retention #s

[bronze canopy]

at least one is playing daily

[restive marsh]

Well done 👍 - I am just trying to get into double digits (wave 10-12ish). Have made it a few times over the last few weeks so learning every time I play.

[smoky python]

Keep on improving

[restive marsh]

I try to play every day or two (usually just one pass - don’t have the time to grind). What’s your guess of % playing?

[brisk agate]

any tips on wave 12 with 3 rogues ? i get rekt

[bronze canopy]

this is one way to do it

[noble hinge]

Have you checked out TSG's videos on YT? He has a series with Illuvium coaches. I've watched Zeptyle, Caveman and Frobei so far. I am not a gamer and they have been super helpful. He has a new one up from yesterday that I have to go check out, not sure who it is with. Anyhow, these guys are amazing and they give lots of great tips.

[tribal glade]

Appreciate you sharing the love! Yea those sessions changed the entire way I play the game! A lot of useful info in those videos!

[worn thicket]

Wave 17 today

https://tenor.com/view/goal-keeper-football-soccer-sport-gif-22004876

Thanks for the positive feedback man! Appreciate!
