Lost Ark has hit a few bumps in the road, no one is denying that. The issues have spiraled out of control, so much so, that Amazon Game Studios and Smilegate RPG are sitting down to discuss the best way to move forward. This is a make or break moment for the game, and this next patch means everything to the future of this promising free-to-play MMOARPG

by the time they release all the classes i want to play i'll be too disengaged to get on every day or even at all per week
I'm so happy I got over the feeling that I need to rush in games. Just hit 1050 with minimal pain and everyday I log in I'm overwhelmed with the amount of content we have.
Honestly, I don't see how people can cry that they are releasing all this content early, you don't need to rush it, it just means there's more for you to do.
Note on honing:
Or they could just fucking remove BULLSHIT RNG mechanics in places they have no right being – IE in gear progression.
Just increase the required materials and fucking REMOVE RNG from shitty places designed to ramp up p2w sales
I've been bored for two weeks. I hit 1340 today and the daily grind is just too dull for me. I'll leave after the giveaway and I'm sure I'll return later in the year.
YOO BOTS ARE NOW 1370 RUNNING INFINITE CHAOS DUNGEONS. RIP EU/NA SERVER. WELCOME TO BOTS GAMING. THIS SERVER REGION IS DOOMED.
Botting making materials more expensive??? HHAHHAHA
Release all content, and increase base honing chances. Why bother with books etc? In truth delete all honing success materials all together and increase success to 100% constant, even with the scarce materials we get now, that would be acceptable. I just failed a 77% weapon, then 88% weapon and a 90% weapon honing, that started at 45% base, just.. Where is the fun in that? Every time I push the hone button I expect it to fail. When it doesn't I just get apathically, huh, well.. Good. Just have to do it 4 times more until I am 1370 with honing percentages dropping even more.
A usual day: Login do daily chaos dungeons, watch 3-4 failed honing upgrades, best case scenario one of them succeeds. Switch character and play alts. Once per week I do abyssal dungeons too and occasionally raid guardians, when I get rested bonus up but thats it. Leaving level up mechanics to RNG and p2win elements! just have honing percentages to constant 100%, DONE!
They're going to introduce more ways to get honing materials but that's not really the issue, which is honing itself. If your honing success rate is 10% and you have 1k materials, acquiring another 1k materials isn't going to help much is it. Plain and simple they need to buff honing rates, imo anything below 50% is terrible…
T3 really sucks the wind out of the fun. The game also loses the feeling of guidance in where to go or what to do once you reach 1340 or so.
id rather have them make an event where we can earn silver aside from cubes and dailies lol
They need something in the game, maybe a tutorial or instruction to direct people to do islands. I reached T3 without a single sweat by doing islands and I have so many T2 materials left.
I really enjoy lost ark as a F2P. The "P2W" aspect feels more like "Pay to skip time gate" than it does winning. My major issue though is with skins. I want to buy the skins because some of them look great but there is no way in hell I am spending $50 on a skin set I can only use on one character. $5 sure, $10 maybe. $50?! That has to be account wide then. But nope, only available to one character on one server. Really disappointed in that.
Everything else though is pretty great. Maybe it is because I am not a whale, but even spending damn near 12 hours a day for 3 weeks playing the shit out of it I find the progressing very natural. I recently hit T3 and noticed the significant dip compared to T1 and T2 but that gives me more time to focus on my alts and collectibles which is quite nice.
Really wish I could choose the gender of my class though as well as play the Glaive Master. In time though I'll get one of those desires.
I also think that they should get rid of that spamming messages from the chat that are selling gold for real money… It s annoying af…
I still want the reaper on lost ark. Literaly the only class that made me wanna play the game cuz diablo 4 isnt out
lol what it has to do with botters that u cant buy your material? thanks to bot the mats are damn cheap lmfao…..
anyone know where i can find out what the best cards for sorceress igniter build is?? thanks
We can call a spade a spade. It’s been a month since launch and folks are upset they can’t reach max, be the best, dominate something, etc. That’s more telling of the person. These are the people that time travel in Animal Crossing the moment content is coded in so that they can take pictures of it on their island and get brag likes. Immediate gratification gamers are rampant.
I feel like i'm the opposite of most of the player base, I've got 7 characters i play daily. 3 in T2 4 in T1. And just taking my time. After watching this it feels like I should rush to T3 so I can sell my honing materials.
I'm two upgrades away from 1340 and I've spent zero money. I've been robbed on my weapon upgrade so much that I have 4k blue vs my zeroed out red materials. I'm being gated by gold now because you get robbed of gold on each failure on top of your materials.
😂🤣 one update is not a make or break update for this game, come on man. Lost Ark is here to stay regardless what this update does or doesn’t do. It’s not that serious.
All you say… is good and nice. (however, some feedback)
However, most people are not those super hardcore I-have-to-win PVE-now-FAST type of guys. Heck most are not even T3 yet: The devs revealed it themselves: Most are T1 or T2, I know even a few personally who are <49 (met one at his place just yesterday). So from my experience, these people might try some streams/videos, but quickly get away. When they see the stream just cares about or even "influence" you into hardcore play (players)…, and rather adresses super endgame assumed "issues" or rather said concerns. Hardcore players, which are – let's be frank one moment – a bunch of over-actives and demand a we-must-progress-faster! / Read in casuals eyes: They must get even more distance to all the filthy casuals.
A vicicious circle, of where less and less casuals like to visit forums or participate in videos or streams.
I.E. I know some that liked to chat in the discord about LoA casually, however it gets more and more uncomfortable there (…). Similar to forums or stuff like video streams/comments. A few even left those discords fully (…).
It sometimes comes down to some over-actives liking to make it "their" place…
BTW: These casual players simply "play to play" the game. Of course with a direction of progress in mind, but more appreciating the content, indulging stuff, finding or trying some stuff themselves rather than going minmax immediatelly, and more. (play to play)
So with all above, I'm just SAYING: You – anyone – get a wrong impression from just listening and reading stuff in your videos or streams. And this is sad, because devs – some times / more or less – also get only the impression from loud people and might think that's our playerbase… No.
Somewhat good news: The fact that they point out their knowledge people being in T1/T2 shows they are at least aware of this "issue" (and thusly feedback being… one-sided). Perhaps as a HINT to you rather hardcore guys, on why some systems are in the game… and more.
Of course this is countered by an Argument, that once you reach Argos you get even more far ahead and faster. And the devs wouldn't have done it this way if not for P2W… (slightly more positive in their news some days ago) So it's not a clear topic. But certainly overall (I mean the dev + hardcore state) it's demotivational to casuals:
– that people feel not valued in their time being spend with the game, simply having fun. When being confronted with videos or comments/chats that just push you to go through and devalue the way-content basically. (as hinted at before)
– that casuals see others spend like $5000 into the game and bots ruining the market, and thus their even casual "investment" becoming even less of worth (which is kind of made up by not caring about it too much, but still…)
What about some occasional other videos:
– This is how you can get the most fun out of the game from T2 to T3 (i.e. here are the coolest but still useful activities at ilevel 802 to 960 / this is how to best enjoy this part of the game… etc.)
– similar for Being fresh 50. Not a fastest route but an effective route where you also meet all kinds of funny content.
This is also fostering long term viewerbase, IMHO.
(i.e. one might click on clickbaits "best class" but perhaps not in the future anymore, after hearing and/or experiencing about all the circumstances and/or hurdles)
With that being said, there goes also also my hint. It was quite an effort to write (I'm not a native speaker), but I hope it helps a little; because I like your style and guild.
The overall idea of your channel is good.
Make the t3 mats from the extra events available to everyone… Less rush more choice more freedom.
There is no reason not to, if you already show what is available. (usually this is not the case)
My friend was even surprised there is an ilvl of much above 800 when he explored the event rewards… He really enjoyed the game UNTIL then. Bummer.
So originally, this step by step system is really well designed for new players IMHO. I don't know why they ruin it now with those seemingly rushed events. It should rather be build into the game permanently, IMO.
Exploration should be FUN. Incentivized but not something you want to stress… Makes people leave…
Ppl play it in their free time you know, not to have a 2nd job. (at least most of em)
