Dude. I'm no LA fan, but you must have quit after an hour lol. The combat is amazing and it's an ARPG. It sounds like you just don't like games like Diablo. The major issues with this game don't present themselves until max level. This game is p2w as all hell, and I hate it, but dude. You gotta atleasy play an mmo for a few hours before reviewing it.

I applaud your perseverance - I loaded this, got across the light bridge, started whacking the cannon fodder which I guess was supposed to get me used to pressing buttons like maybe I didn't know what a keyboard was, and was so underwhelmed that I just uninstalled right there. A game that relies on that many bright lights three minutes into the game is not a good bet.

You know what they say: "just... just get past the first couple levels and... it'll be GOOD!" XD Actually confusing this, I only heard that Lost Arc was such a banger and people loves its gameplay... and that is super "pay-to-progress" (which apparently is a new term for pay-to-win...?) or grindy to the point that you lose the ability to live a normal life outside the game... But yeah, from what I've heard, they butchered the story in the western release by Amazon... but there wasnt much story to begin with, so yeah... But thats third party hearsay, I never touched the game myself, so... yeah... This certainly doesnt make we want to pick it up any time soon...

Yeah, the levelling process and 99% of the quests are really really bad. It starts being kinda fun when you unlock the weekly dungeons. Then, you get a few tens of hours worth of fun, upgrading your stuff and unlocking harder dungeons, until things grind to a standstill.

@@TheNichq it feels really weird when people say lost ark has amazing combat. To me, warcraft 3 custom maps are able to achieve the same satisfactory feeling of pvm, and that comes from 2003. No, it's not long term rpg, but in hour long bite sized games, but using 7 unique abilities and auto attacks to make a powerful build is the premise of many many maps, and they feel just as impactful to me (yeah, I couldn't care less about the graphics)

Lost ark is the only mmo that I constantly go back too , I love it so much , but I’m too scared to do vykaas and vultan so I’m at 1400 and just don’t know if I want to continue due to being a solo player and no one to teach me the raids , other than videos and pugs idk I love it so much

I do love how much you hated this game. For the month I played it I enjoyed it, it is very mindless with flashy lights, but I am a magpie. Also when you get to the raids in it we found a graphical setting to turn off others spell effects because they get even worse later on!

I downloaded it yesterday and feel like i wasted 2 hours on it. The only good things about this game are the storyline and the allies you help and /or run with, and the fact it has no lags, even on high performance settings. I wish Last Epoch or Path Of Exile had the same smoothness.

I have about 300 hours in this game. It turns into the most repetitive mmo I've ever played when you get to tiers 1-3. Logging in everyday running chaos dungeons 3 times to get an attempt to upgrade gear gets old quick. You can literally buy gold from the in game store if that tells you anything. Just use gold sellers if you want gold. Much cheaper. You have to buy gold unless you want to spends months grinding. That default sorceress skin at the start of the game costs 10-20k gold FOR EACH PIECE. Absolute p2w cash grab. This game would be so much better with a 15 dollar a month sub and have players actually play to progress instead of everyone buying gear. Most high ranked players have paid real money. If they say they did it all for free, they're lying.

this game was supposed to be good, i remeber waiting for like 10 years for it, some of the developers are from the creators of chrono cross and final fantasy series but its sucks, too korean for my taste, same goes to tree of savior, that was from the creators of ragnarok online, you should review Tree of Savior (2016) imo was good at the beginning but some of the updates screw it and ppl stop playing it

The combat isn't the problem. The game is insanely p2w. It's also on the extremely grind side. I can run mythic plus in wow all day, but I don't even wanna do 2 chaos dungeons a day cause of how boring they are. If the game had a monthly sub and no cash shop, it could have been a big hit in the US.

@@TheNichq Maybe for you it seems like a pay to win experience for me it doesn't seem like it at all because I played Korean games in my youth. more than 10 years ago I played metin2 that you can say is really pay to win. It took me about 2 years to get to the content that players were at when I started. and when I got to level 80 a level 40 player who was paying money, I can say he was beating me no problem. At least in this game I have caught up with the content without any problems and it's really fun. but anyway, everyone plays what they like and what they think is best for them. but from my perspective it doesn't seem like a game
