I would like to propose that we bring back Leviathan Acendent arena instead of Leviathan Gantlet. I do like gauntlet but not as a Leviathan mode where you not only need to own all the Illuvals to play but also need to have luck to actually get the team together that you want and also need 8 players to be able to play which with how gauntlet currently is I don't think would happen. If we went with Acendent we would not need 8 players per game, there for almost no wait times. It would be easier for people to build a decent team to be able to play, as they would need all the illuvals. And less luck involved (which I would like at least). Also we should increase the XP gains after matches. Let me know what you all think.

Fully Agree 👍
Leviathan is more made for ascendant to really go all out against an opponent. It would feel terrible if you have some really strong illuvials which you might have bought for a high price but can’t really use them because of bad RNG of the shop. We all know how bad and weird the shop is in gauntlet.
Regarding gaining XP it can also be pretty bad. Let’s say you want to level up your rhamphyre but can’t really because you never get to him in gauntlet.
Ascendant itself needs more work to be in shape for live play.
This would take time and keep devs from finishing gauntlet and/or working on the mmo vertical slice. (Where it looks like from leaks, that you can play 24/7 with just your fav Illuvial)
So even tho a 1vs1 might be better suited for some people, i don't think we should put the time into it now.
I also don't think we should wait that long for Ascendant to be in shape, to kick off leviathan rewards.
We need to incentivize holding NFT's more asap, so people start buying fuel to grind and reactivate the marketplace for Illvuials.
I also don't think gauntlet is that bad of a fit.
Illuvium is a collection game, having a full collection should be the Goal for most customers.
I am categorically against this idea.
I am also categorically against it, we have an exciting Gauntlet mode, which should be brought to perfection, and only then we can work on other modes
Yes. I’m not against the Ascendant Leviathan mode. But that doesn’t mean we should abandon the mode we’ve been waiting for so long — Gauntlet Leviathan.
To me, it’s clear that there should be four modes:
Gauntlet Leviathan / Ranked
Ascendant Leviathan / Ranked
I agree with you 100% @dusk trellis
I'm sorry, but this post was needed a year ago. Only the people who like gauntlet and didn't hunt illuvials are left now. You are 100% correct in your assessment, just wont get any traction now.
Ascendant was in a great position, and did not have a lot of bugs or issues. The only thing that turned people away was the late nerf to full empath teams. Then no other updates...ever. all resources pivots to gauntlet.
I was also a big fan of the original Ascendant, and hope we can rework it a bit and fit it in after Gauntlet and Gauntlet Leviathan. And I agree there should be
Gauntlet Leviathan / Ranked
Ascendant Leviathan / Ranked
But I would also add Survival mode to the list and maybe even before reworking Ascendant, as I think it would make sense to polish it up and make a Leviathan version of Survival. (could even add some "mini bosses" and some of the other "critters" to later rounds at some point) It's defiantly something I would play myself, and it would be a good mode for encouraging people to improve the collection to push further for higher waves. (might also be easier to get done with less need for balancing). It's also the mode that's been with the game since beginning, and people still play it.
