Thunderbuddy its an mmorpg dude. Always the same! Its hows mmrpg works new patch new gear
people hone to have easier and fast raids and be ready for next content since they know what exactly is coming and what is the requirement for it people will start going for it some people are like that they want to be the first to anything
It’s a MMO. They all basically have a end-game loop.
First mmo?
guess this is your first ever mmorpg huh ?

that is the good question , whale don’t care , and i hone because i keep getting kicked out of pug
In games like WoW, the difference between tiers can be massive, like start of an xpac and end of an xpac the inflation gets pretty insane, and really what that means is your gear from the first raid is trashed with each raid you do.
What I like about LA is that the grind we put in isn’t trashed, but rather future grind just adds to our power.
Not everyone will go +21 or higher on gear, and so those who do will have an advantage in Brez, and prob do HM right away.
Thing is, with this game there will be a soft reset at brez and another at the new raid hitting KR.
That doesn’t mean I should stop doing what I am doing cause I am at the end of the day always working to make my char better.
First time playing an mmo?
that is why this is not a sprint, but a marathon, no one gives everything they got at the start, because it does not last just a moment. Marathon play style is do weekly and chaos, skip the time consuming stuff, log off, come back tomorrow and repeat. You progress at the pace of what abyss and chaos rng drops. Marathon runners don’t use the market or auction house. They intend to run 365 days for the next 10 years.
“Why keep playing when they’re just gonna make new content, like what is the point?” Is what I read lol, someone has obv never played a MMO before haha, welcome buddy!
That’s literally the only thing mmorpgs are designed for. You build up a character you do tedious grinding for stat boosts the account for 0.001% boost to your dps or healing or tanking and then a new patch comes out with better armor weapons and accessories. Like that is every mmo ever made.
Then again lost ark is a lot of peoples first mmorpg because they are mainstream sheep who play games big streamers play so no surprise they don’t understand the genre.
Higher Rates coming copium
you dont need anything higher than +20 think
20-25 is whale territory
Esther whale territory
They like paying for 1-3% dmg increases I’m serious
You realize you need to hit breakpoints just to enter the raid and get the soft reset right?
first mmo ? its not like that in every other mmo, you get completly new gear from raids and ur old stuff is useless
Even tho there will be a soft reset you get to play for half a year with your +20 gear, so isn’t that the point? Not to mention you will need +20s when Brelshaza comes out. Might as well get your main out of the way and focus on getting alts up.
Progression is in every MMO, not just Lost Ark.
If +20 is the max you can hone, players will quit after getting to +20 because there will be nothing left for them to achieve.
While on paper, it doesn’t sound enticing to have resets after spending a lot of mats and time getting to +20, it’s what keeps players sticking around because you play an MMO for progression.
to progress in mmo means, you go in circles and count the laps.
Lol. That’s the funny part. Why sprint to the next lap? There will be 12 more laps.
this system (assuming you’re talking about what we’re getting when brelshaza raid comes) is better than the alternative of “progression” when they have to increase the cap to keep people from not having any goals.
the alternative is they release an entire new gearset each time new content is released with rng drop rates and your old gear can’t affect it and becomes useless (which would really suck with our quality system we have).
