First, i want to thank the art team, they are in my opinion one of the best teams i ever saw in an nft project.

The things i want to suggest, is to make beyond illuvitars more impactful. Right now, the illuvitars seem too small. In loading screen the pfp should be bigger.

Also one big change i would suggest, and i know alot of people will be against it, is to make full body illuvitars.
The art in beyond is beautiful, and exploting this art with full illuvials and maybe some background (pokemon really did a great job and yes i am influenced by that) will have a huge impact.

Let the art team show their full potential 🔥

Also, i would get rid of accessories. They ruin the beauty of illuvials. And you can argue, but i think 99% of owners put accessories just for the power.

This can start with wave 2 maybe, so the first wave will be a legacy and hold more value in the future for people already having wave 1 illuvitars.

I know alot of downvotes will come with this, but i am hoping i can get a glimpse of "maybe" in someone 😅

Those that know me are well aware I love Beyond.

But I will say we've put ourselves in a weird situation, and here's why.

Beyond's artists are amazing and they've done an awesome job with the illuvitars.

But we added this idea of bonding accessories into the illuvitars that completely ruins the art, and on top of that we've created a leaderboard for competition that is based on the illuvitar's power which is propped up with the accessories.

So we ended up in this weird situation where ppl don't want to bond accessories into their illuvitars cause it ruins the art and they would rather keep them clean, but at the same time they're incentivized to do so in order to compete for the leaderboards.

Not to mention the huge pile of work it gives to the team by having to match all the different accessories to every illuvitar.

I would like for us to figure a way to solve this by set 2. Even if it ends up eliminating the accessories all together so be it.

I'm in agreement Filow - I love the art, not a fan of how the art looks after accessories... I also feel like it's more work for the art team to match all accessories to all illuvitars, and would prefer to remove that workload or just make more illuvitars/variants

Absolutely! IMO the best.

Agree 100%

I like the idea, but in the games current state I don't think this is possible.
I know that you are suggesting the removal of accessories from Beyond, but whilst we have them this appears to be a no go.

Also, i would get rid of accessories. They ruin the beauty of illuvials. And you can argue, but i think 99% of owners put accessories just for the power.

This is true and I also agree, but without this aspect, there is no need for a leaderboard and the current game/reward mechanism would cease to exist.

To even consider such a move, another entirely new game mechanic would have to be presented, but not only presented, fully conceptualised and built in time for set 2, of which there are only 2 waves left of set 1. It just seems a highly unrealistic expectation at this point considering the current workload/situation.

I know alot of downvotes will come with this, but i am hoping i can get a glimpse of "maybe" in someone 😅

You may be surprised. I don't think it will be as contoversial as you may think.

I know it requires alot of work, but either to have it in mind for the second wave, because if we propose it then, it will have to be postponed or the 3d wave and so on
Also, if they plan to change anything, better to have the changes early
The leaderboard should have another way of giving points.
The first legacy wave with accessories should give extra points in order to reward early participants.
Also the first wave disks will be worth more.
If new players will be present one year from now or whenever wave 2 comes, i hope a beautiful concept will be awaiting them.
Accesories are not great. Maybe a few love them, i dont think they catch and there is certainly something better instead of it.

Also i took inspiration from lol. When you load into a game there are 10 players and the champion avatars are really big and have a nice frame around them.
That is what i had in mind with our ranked and illuvitars

Nahh... I like that we can have some choice with Illuvitars. Albeit limited by the current accessory choices, I wtill like that we can bond illuvitars for both power and subjective aesthetics.

I would love to see alternate versions of Illuvitars though... like Pokemon have different artists/styles for different promos or rarities. Full body is cool too...

If anything I'd give the option to rebond or unbond with a Fuel cost.

Working accessories into full body art could also be an extremely tricky task, it would still be limiting to the art department as each accessory would still have to be compatible with all of the art styles.

For me, I think the only way that full arts would be feasible is if we transitioned to a full on TCG or something of that nature, complete with album/completion rewards etc, but leaderboard would be for competing in the game, the art would then be limitless. I hope we do go this route, but for the reasons I stated above in my previous comment, I just don't think it's feasible just yet.

For now we are writing things up on paper for a tcg like game.

But before that would even start any sort of work, many more things need to happen.

Turning illuvitars into full body images is going to be a nightmare 🙂 not going to happen i think, sorry. The task to do that would be gigantic, and we dont have the crew to do that. So for now, itll remain portraits.

But theres many cool things to come.

If we do all that we'd have cool art but nothing left to gamefy. Would we just assign random power numbers to characters?

I am not really a beyond type of guy but even with the few illuvitars I own, I also dont want to put accessories on. Is it a possibility to have a switch to turn on/off the visuals of accessories from the illuvitars? So having the power increases stuck to the illuvitars metadata but the image itself is without the accessories?
Maybe that can even go further and each accessory slot has its own switch if you want to be flexible.
