Overview:-

This proposal aims to introduce a new leaderboard system specifically for Alpha Illuviars. The goal is to provide additional incentives for Alpha holders and potentially stimulate interest in future Alpha sales.

Proposed Changes:-

Separate Leaderboards: Create distinct leaderboards that exclusively for Alpha illuvitars.

Leaderboard Types: Consider implementing alpha leaderboards ( Team can decide on the structure around it).

Suggested options ( it could be finalised by community and team and not limited to below options)

Wave-Specific Leaderboards:
Each Alpha wave would have its own leaderboard.

General Alpha Leaderboard:
A single leaderboard that encompasses all Alpha Illuviars, providing a broader comparison across waves.

Benefits:-

Stimulation of Future Alpha Sales:
The prospect of exclusive leaderboards for Alpha Illuviars could generate additional interest in future Alpha sales, potentially leading to increased participation and revenue.

Community Engagement:
The introduction of new leaderboards could foster greater community engagement and discussion around Illuvium gameplay and competitive dynamics.

Implementation Timeline:-

Given the upcoming Wave 3 Alpha sale on November 21st, it is recommended that the development and implementation of these leaderboards be prioritized to ensure they are available in time to potentially impact the sale.

Community Input:-

This proposal is open to feedback and discussion from the Illuvium community. I encourage members to share their thoughts, suggestions, and concerns regarding the proposed leaderboard system.

Comment from @barren fractal as per #🎮〕illuvium-beyond channel: I would not make an alpha ranking for each wave, but simply a general alpha ranking that lasts over time, so as to also valorise those who own wave 1 and wave 2 alpha and at the same time make the market more active with a correct price distinction between alpha and non-alpha. This wouldn't be to my advantage because I have few alphas but it would be more fair towards those who immediately believed in illuvium and beyond.

Sorry, I don't like to do it, but I chose to vote it down.

Alphas were only ever meant to be a 1st edition, and that's it, no additional in game benefits and I believe that we should stick to that.

I believe the value of Alphas will take care of themselves over time without intervention of any kind. Just need to let the market do it's thing.

Also, as Alphas are marketed at a premium (which I still disagree with 😅 ) and are seen as a collector piece, people wont be rushing to start bonding these, so they aren't really the best candidate for promoting bonding/leaderboad participation.

I agree with Alexa for most parts mentioned.

Alphas = Illuvium's first edition equivalent

Many prefer to keep their Illuvitars "pure" (unbonded) and with the added importance for Alphas, this would encourage bonding them, which many may not want to do.

The one thing I agree with is having various/additional Leaderboards implemented for Wave 3. I shared something in private Council channels around how leaderboards should be updated for Beyond in Wave 3. This would not be the place to share the idea and will most likely share it in #1020759212172775464 to garner feedback from the community to fine-tune the idea

Got it guys. All good 👍. I agree that alphas are not meant to be bonded and therefore LB is not the best option here.

It may have been ok to have alpha collection rewards but LB is not the best option.

@lofty granite and @wind oar , Do you think that collection rewards for Alpha should happen where bonding is not requited?

You mean the "account bound" rewards that was hinted or you mean rewards/leaderboards?

I don't believe there should be any exclusive rewards/leaderboard items for Alphas. They are simply 1st edition Illuvitars.

If you compare to "Holo" & "Dark Holo" illuvials, aesthetically they are different, like Alphas with the stamps, however they have no advantage or benefits in game - in this case, the benefit would an exclusive Album and a separate leaderbord/reward

I was thinking similar to account bound rewards but for Alpha collection.
