Illuvium Arena / Overworld Deployment Complete! Rangers, The deployment of the Illuvium Arena / Overworld is complete! Update your game and you can jump back into Illuvium Arena & Overworld and enjoy the updated gameplay. Reminder: Season 3 is postponed for the time being. We'll provide more details in a future announcement once everything is finalized. Cheers, The Illuvium Team

Illuvium Arena / Overworld Deployment Begins Soon! Rangers, This patch brings exciting new updates and improvements across the Gauntlet game mode and beyond. Here's what you can expect: Key Updates: Lobbies for Gauntlet: Now you can team up and ensure you’ll be playing with your friends before joining the queue. Expanded Cosmetic Support: Cosmetics are now usable in both Survival and Gauntlet modes. UI Enhancements for Gauntlet: We've updated some elements of the Gauntlet interface, animation & sounds to improve clarity and usability. Gauntlet Ranking and Leaderboard: You can now access the leaderboard in the client and compete against other players Performance Optimizations: CPU and memory utilization has been optimized, particularly in the Overworld, for smoother gameplay. New Xenoprints in Overworld: Fresh new Xenoprints are now available for discovery. Bug Fixes: We've addressed multiple bugs to improve overall stability and user experience. Balancing Changes: To ensure a smoother and more balanced progression, we've made the following adjustments: Illuvial Power Level Progression: Adjustments have been made to align with Gauntlet’s economy and ascension difficulty. Illuvial Role Performance: We've fine-tuned how Illuvials perform based on their role: Tanks: Now sturdier, but with reduced damage output. Fighters: Balance between dealing and receiving damage. Rogues: Higher damage output than Fighters but more vulnerable to attacks. Psions: Capable of dishing out high damage but are fragile. Empaths: Provide excellent support with moderate sturdiness but low damage output. Illuvial Nature Adjustments: Attack speeds and performance are now more closely aligned with the nature of the Illuvials: Defensive animal types will be more resilient than the average for their role. Aggressive animal types will have greater damage output but may be less sturdy. Synergy Adjustments: Power levels of certain synergies have been adjusted based on past performance and the difficulty of attaining them. Minor mechanical tweaks to enhance the agency and playability of some synergies. Power levels are now balanced across Hyper classes. Augment Calibration: We've fine-tuned the power levels of the best-performing augments to ensure a balanced experience. Mode-Specific Focus: Please note that this patch is primarily focused on Gauntlet mode. While some changes may affect other modes like Survival and Ascendant, it is optimized for Gauntlet’s unique gameplay. Change Blog: We’re currently working on a brand-new balance change format. We’ll update these balance changes with the new format in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can check out the detailed list of changes here: https://illuvium.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/11014348143631-Arena-Overworld-v1-2-0-Patch-Notes Cheers, The Illuvium Team
