Which build did you decide on

This is pointless rant, because you ranting about game that is free to play, this is the fate of every free to play business model MMORPG. The game is going to grindy, repetitive if not pay to win or progressive faster.

you know the biggest issue is that sg/ags gave players gun but they (players) reloaded it and started blasting - We can speedrun raid without los30 or full 10s gems. Community is bigger problem than sg but dont forget that raids are toxic af aswell . Normal modes should have fewer wipe mechs, give less amounts of loot but at least let me proggress (im looking at you purple elixirs). On top of that this f game lacks mmo feeling, im so ashamed of myself that i love combat and class design cuz this is the only thing that keeps me entertained (all progression systems sucks beside tripods lmao)

i come from WoW and i Still play WoW... and i play lost ark also from day 1 with tons of breaks... cuz u get burned out in this game rly easy.. i reached 1600 on 4 chars and i just dont wanna do elixirs or transcendace down the line.. anything that dsnt involve gameplay and takes THAT much time is garbage shoudnt exist imo, honeslty those 2 systems alone makes me wanna quit... i just play lost ark casually doing solo raids and some on grp finder but it gets tedious doing it with many chars a week.. Still i dont have LoS 30 with 2.5k hours in this game, im on LoS 26 and getting gatekept like fk ton.. And one last thing.. Raids Are WAAAAAAAAY too Punishing.. 1 guy dead whole grp resets etc etc... i feel like we have talked about all the known issues so many times but they just dont listen.

my first day when i didnt finished all daily on my alts was horrible(i felt like its gonna make me so behind ) but its ok now , I mosty foucus on one dps and one sup and rest of my 9 alts i care only if i want to it was process tho game is addicting and also time consuming

I would want like over 4 character in t4 that I dont play in t3, but I dont have nowhere near enough resources to do so. Hope that next new class release will come with a t4 event powerpass. Solo gold should all be bound to account and like 80% of the normal amount or be able to chose 0 mats and 100% bound gold, idk. Also, I saw many new players, but many dont have trusted status after the changes, so they cant use powerpass. They should just let you bound a phone number to a account and get trusted after and stay like that. Transcendence would be cool to be silver only or maybe time gated and be free

Honestly, I think they should get rid of the 6x roster raids alts system, as it's become so expensive to keep up to date on your main. Alts are dead for me, i have no plans of getting transcendence for them. Not touching that hell of a mini game on my alts. I can't decide if I'm happy about t4. I don't know if I'm excited about it. I think in our region, we seem more afraid of t4 than anything. One thing that worries me though is that we are moving onto t4 with the old issues(gatekeeping, support issues etc). These problems are going to affect us way more than they will impact the Korean playerbase. I'm just gonna remain cautiously optimistic about the outcome of t4. If it turns out well for us, we have a game to play. If it doesn't, there's other games.

I think they need to make a more casual raiding mode that dont require insane investment like it is right now in the party finder. Game is too hard and on top of RNG from elixir and trancendence are litterally killing the game in the West now. They should also add more solo content in the future. Taking this game easy is the correct decision , no one have a decent life can play like manica that have a 2nd job.

rested raids would solve alts burnout on anyone that cannot play hardcore

Kr may be able to split their (more healthy) playerbase between T3 and T4 and slowly let it progress to T4 but you can't with our version of the game, it's a death warrant. Behemot requiring 16 players is also going to make a lot of damage to the health of the game and on top of it they announced Aegir for October, only one month after T4 and Behemot's releases. It's insane, it's a absolutely insane schedule release. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with the new director who is actually try harding the game, with the QoL announcement for the August patch and the incoming modifications to the global version but at this point it's make or break for me. If those changes are superficial and doesn't address the core issues of the global version, I'm done.

In the end the community will be the group that kills the game, since gatekeeping is getting so much worse every single new content drop. For all my alts i usually need to support trade with friends to even get into lobbys. If they add a DPS ingame meter or smth that will just increase gatekeeping even more.

Idk how they expect us to even properly Progress in t4 aside from Our Mains,doing trans on Up to 5 More alts ? 250k each, weapon trans on Main 500k+ , advanced and normal Honing on main and advanced Honing on alts. Like i dont wanna abandon my 1640 alts but i dont see how you can sustain a decent full 1640 Roster besides swiping. Never in the timeline ive felt so overwhelmed With the amount of gold sink systems It was Always Just Honing which was alright but having 3 insane gold sinks from 1620-1640 (Not even counting elixirs anymore) while all 1620s Go to 1640 for free in t4 is Just so Bad especially because behemoth has only a DPS Check and nothing else attached to it meaning atleast trans will be required. Imma be honest elixirs are a fine system With all the Changes and silver ones we got but i aint doing trans on 5 More chars, its a huge boring time waste and gold waste, they shouldve focused More on Something Like advanced honing instead of this Minigame bs eating Up your gold in t4. The issue is that these systems are a requirement to enter raids while taking way too much time and gold, honing in general should imo always be the priority and main gold sink like how it was up until voldis, having 1-2 at max gold sinks aside from it are from like current elixirs with maybe adv honing but trans on armor and wep with behemoth is just wayyyy too much and super unfun.

A lot of streamers say people love the raids but people can't get in to them. This is hard copium. The raids are too hard and people don't have time to waste learning them. They are too hard if they are not why is the game dead?

When comparing shit to shit Transcendence > Elixirs imo. Both these systems still need drastic changes if they wanna push people to tier 4 because without 100 trans min and 40 set youll just be getting gatekept beyond 1620.

I didn't play this game at all, but watched a few streamers go through the game and that was enough to keep me away. I'm not ready for that level of commitment to a p2w game.

true. true. mhmm. true

Private servers when?

Players aren't quitting because of easy grind. They quit because of the difficulty of some raids, in particular Thaemine and they aren't addressing it because hardcore players that get a lot of gold bussing it are very active in those feedback threads downvoting players who ask for nerfs.

I'm 290 hours in, my first looter shooter, compared to lost ark it's really chill at the moment. No dailies, I can grind progression materials at my leisure. No weekly daily lock outs. I never feel like I'm missing out for not logging in. No lobby simulator. Really good experience so far.

the game is already built to be toxic, just allow it. f cking hell

I left the game a month ago mainly because that a full time job is hard to keep up with lost ark (i had been playing since release and gotten every raid done always). The games been run on Bandages put on the wrong parts that only fix everyones hope for a little while not the problem. I agree with you i hoped it would get better or be at a point I could chill and enjoy but the latest raids without a static made me feel so shit it was not worth my time. My opinion is we all have to leave so they do something or it does (at least it doesn't bleed out slowly )

Pandering to the hard mode ilvl players really killed this game. Veterans have been so out of touch for what new players want and need. So much feedback that AGS got was about gold. Gold isn't the issue; time is the real problem. Everything takes way too much time.

AGS doesn't care about the west. It's time to face facts.

there is also a very qute solution to making people not care about dps meter stop making raids requiring high dps to complete behemoth is in t4 is going to be a shitshow even with the hp nerf that will come with it

Nice to see a new video. Trying to work on t4 roster, solo raids been kinda fun but have only been getting maybe half my gold earning done these days and not overly worried about it. Been months s8nce I finished every gold earning raid and that is okay.

I have 6 echidna's hms and if they don't 1 or 2 tap I just peace out. Groups that clear will 1 tap and the other reeeee's will be there for infinity. Remember if you are a 6 character andy, you have probably done echidna 36 times by the beginning of this week, there is no excuse to die upstairs, ever.

I feel ya with the transendence - even with the recent nerfs it's still miserable.

Let us hope they start chaning the game for the west , not copy paste things from Korea.

That's why i wish every content just come out with solo raid day 1. Even 40% gold i'm fine Dealing with people is tiring Honestly LA might gain a new player-base if they cater for both group and solo players. The foundation is solid enough for replaybility. Lots of most profitable MMO that're still alive thrive for solo content too. T4 is not going to save LA, in fact i believe t4 will kill NA W even more due to even more polarized playerbase. It basically just gut all your progression in t3 (5mil shards gone to toilet, solar gone to toilet , if you didnt overhone in advance honing)

i find it ironic about one thing You use dps meter which cause no harm to the company and economy -> get banned Everyone rmting destroying economy and reduce company's profit -> you're fine (kr dev allow kr ppl rmt) I dont get their standard rly . Seems like kr get their priority so wrong.

By the way , i hop you read gaming news , do u know how many people in gaming industry lost their job ? How many Studio closed ? in current situation smilegate/AGS living like a king lol

Most MMOs these days are seasonal , people play new games and come back for new sesson (myself just finished elden ring dlc) 20k-30k people in west is very healthy , like warframe etc , always in top100 best sellers is over 2 year !! , no matter how much some people hate it but this is a very successful game in general and with a bright future .

I think the game in the west might be getting better but it won't recapture the amount of players ever again with its current systems :/

Uh oh; post-PSO2 depression is back again. Hmm. I don't know how I feel fully about T4 either. I don't think it's bad, but it's still just a soft reset. Maybe a semi-soft. Personally I'm not remotely ready for T4 as I've been too lazy to try to find learning parties ever since my static split in May or June. Don't get me wrong, I like learning raids, and Thaemine and Echidna seem like good first clear raids, but seem more like a chore to re-clear. They also don't seem like ones that are fun to prog with random players that you're not remotely familiar with. I think things are looking up overall, but content is coming too fast as per usual. Too fast for me anyway, someone who isn't hitting up G2G nor doing whatever it takes to keep up. Besides, T4 is really just T3.5 after all. I am more looking forward to dragging a few friends to the express servers in (probably late) September and seeing how that goes. If it goes.

I clicked because of the thumbnail. And i regret nothing. I wish i got the 2xko (stupid name) key, but Europe didn't get many keys as it turns out :/

Kuiper is easy. it's gold thats a pain

After 130 hours, I only got 1 activator, which I have not used yet. I basically am using Gley and thundercage all the time because I don't have the items to use more variety, which is very annoying and causing a little burnout. I have beaten everything, so that's cool, but I would like variety, and it's annoying. My friends are constantly getting activators, but hey, it is what it is.

You deliberately skipped the boosters in the strore which is pay to win. Let's be honest 30% gain on kuiper, gold, exp, translates to saving time, and paying for convenience is always p2w.

is foraging rlly the best? ive only hunting leveled up cuz its expensive and used for upgrade mats no?

So you played the game 6 hours a day on average. Thats your problem. Most people dont have 6 hours a day to spend on any game. If you are bored thats your fault. Play less.

great game for shutting of your brain for couple hours and chase stuff (210hrs in so far) , my opinion is trading is not going to work most players have got tons stuff that they do not need or already unlock (looking at you normal descendant parts) like i have 5 freyna 100 % codes and unlocked first week of launch . currently chasing my 4 ult descendant. by the way you have to play every decendant even the normal ones if you want mastery leveling .

as this game mirrors War frame its easy to predict future systems, in that all those double ups of codes and other descendant resources would later be sold for in game currency via an auction house so im saving them for now but i still dont like the RNG within RNG to get some items

Now a day EVERY videogame feels like a chore, because they are internet linked.

you don't have to do stealth, that just gives you a chance for double amorphous drops. maybe not as fun but definitely worth it.

here's the fast version. fun to play but gets boring real fast the end. oh also yet more predatory craft times and pricing fuck modern day games the all have gone backwards in what people actually want in a game

Yeah I've stated in other videos I didn't like this game's grind and got blasted about not liking grind in a Korean grind game. Not all grind is equal. My problem is with a lot of this game is uninteresting grind. Then when drop rates even up to 20% fail you constantly you almost always lost all that time to nothing. It's not challenging, you're forced to play other descendants, and hours feel wasted without having had any fun because I got my 10th copy of a descendant blueprint

have u tried fishing in platinum field?

Regular characters into ultimate versions of same character should be a thing

Yeah very mid game , biggest problem which i have with it is weapon sound !! Just compair rifle shot of lost ark GS and this game , its so bad !! ( listen with a natural headphone and amp/dac.)
