#Let's Add Holo and Dark Holo Espial Numbers

I believe that the first ever made Holo and Dark Holo of each type of illuvial should also receive an espial finish #1 number. You can always look this up manually by searching for illuvials of that finish/stage/type and see which one is minted first, but I think the first ever made of each holo/dark holo should be worth more than the 1000th one made. First 10 should be worth more than the 1000th one too. First 100, should also be considered collectors items compared to the 10,000th one.

It's a collectors game. The more ways we can identify uniqueness and value among the collection, the more interesting and valuable our collections become. The more emotionally attached we are, the better. Adding these holo/dark holo espial numbers are a good thing--and should be rather simple task to add to the illuvidex.

EDIT: Sounds like the team is planning on implementing this soon actually!

This is already there, the data isn’t updated yet.

A problem happened in the migration that we need to fix, hopefully this week. After that, espial numbers and the new finish numbers (which is what you want) will be updated to their correct values 🙂

#

You should see this on illuvidex for newly captured illuvials. numbers are obvs wrong for now

So this is another prime example of the need for more communication from the team. In the beginning, I raced to create a holo illuvial in hopes that I will have a number 1, and I did. But when the espial numbers finally appeared on them, it was number 86 or something.

I was pretty pissed because I thought I wasted my money and effort and did not get anything close to number 1, not even a single digit. So I sold it.

And now, weeks later, you guys are suddenly saying holos and dark holos will have their own espial numbers??? Why was this never mentioned until now? If you (the team) had the intention to include it from the beginning, why was this never said in an announcement, warning people that it will be implemented?

All it would have taken was a little communication and I would have happily held on to my number 1 holo. Instead, I am now double pissed, once because I thought I thrown away money for nothing, and now again, because I did sell what is now the number 1 holo.

This might seem like a small detail to some, but it is a big deal for a collector. So please, take the request for more communication from the community seriously, even if it sounds like an extra chore.

(I'm not pissed at you, personally, if anything you are one of the most active team members, but I hope you can relay the message to the other team members who currently do not value communication like they should) Thank you!

Completely understand and not taken personally though i do shoulder part of the blame. In the post release chaos , i thought we mentioned it somewhere but we have so we can only apologise for that.

It did take some time to figure out there was a problem.

As for the comms, im going to make a personal effort to try and up the standards regardless of the IIP. Just made that commitment here: #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

It's something important enough that even if there was never an official espial number, I would still consider the first made of that type to be special.

Stuart, are the normal espial numbers supposed to be correct already? If so, do you know any reason why the first mint of a certain variety would not get the number 1 espial? For example, if you check all the existing exalted fire fliish, the one with the lowest overall mint number has the espial 4, the second one is espial 5 and so on. What happened to the first 3? Exalted nature atipo is even worse, it starts from espial 9. As far as I know there is no way to burn a stage 3 illuvial, other than sending it to a burn wallet? Am I missing something?
