Dear developers,

Considering that you decided not to add the Leviathan mode to Illuvium Premier Liga and only hold separate tournaments for it, I propose to fully separate these two modes.

1️⃣ Hold two separate IPLs. Casual fans will train in their preferred mode.
Leviathan fans will train in their preferred mode.

2️⃣ Why is it irrational to ignore community separation?
Because these are two completely different modes. New players who just heard about the game might think these two modes are identical. But they are not.
When playing Leviathan, our brain forms habits that are useless in Casual.
When playing Casual, we forget those habits.

A few examples:

  • In Casual mode, we don’t need to constantly re-check Illuvials by level or rearrange them. But in Leviathan mode, without this habit, we might accidentally use a useless level 1 Illuvial.
  • In Leviathan mode, the value system is completely different. I mean drone upgrades, augmentations, the Illuvials themselves, and the builds. Our brain remembers the value system of one mode and then finds it harder to adapt to the other mode.

3️⃣ We listen to different player audiences. Because of this, the final product turns out worse than it could be.

It is important to clearly define the audience for each mode and pursue their interests as well as the economic interests of the project.

💪 The main (not the entire) audience of Casual are esports players with high skill. Most often, Illuvium Gauntlet is their main income. Their job is to extract money from the game with minimal (or no) investments.

💰 The main (not the entire) audience of Leviathan are paying players. Most often they are mature enough. Most often with low/medium (rarely high) skill. They compensate for their lack of skill with their wallet.

they don't have money for it

#

levi mode should be x2

#

need rework stats and levels or you play ranked with single players or you play levi mode with sponsors, organization, guilds, who will buy the best iluvs and hire the best players, but not this 5%
need 250k for renaked tournamnet + 100k on promotion
we don't have money for it

#

so we will see small tournamnet without leader board and maybe in 2026-2027 with mobile will see leaderboard for levi

Also a ranked ladder only works well with a lot of players, having more ladders means poorer matchmaking, slower queues and it brings elo (points) problems. The team has to choose and it seems f2p is the way for now

#

I like levi btw it's just it really is one or the other right now

We are looking into something like this. It would have a different format because it’s a different audience.

Stay tuned.

# valid pecan Cool! Can I ask — should we expect this later this year or next year? I’m reall...

It depends when we can fit it in. One of the good things about me funding a decent amount of the IPL this season is that it means the DAO hasn’t used much.

This is why I don’t understand people saying we are wasting money on f2p people. I’m funding a lot of this. And we’re doing it to boost everything. The value of ILV. Illuvials. Etc. and get more players in. More matches. Faster queues. Etc.

we thought that all this would be taken from the treasury

yea... i think it could have been mentioned in the announcement.
It's i think special to sponsor basically the whole league as a founder and it kinda got burried in the #🎮〕illuvium-arena chat.
I guess there are just a few people really being aware of that and it in my opinion sends a strong positive signal aswell to almost every group is it investor, player, someone that just started getting into illuvium or however else connected to illuvium

I've set aside a fixed amount of ILV for this. So if we go to the moon then the prizepool will be huge.
