Honestly, matchmaking for pvp takes 5 minutes alone sometimes. And dailys take forever as well.
More often, I discover new island where I was not, or go to pvp islands for fun.

what about island dailys, chaos gate, kaltherz slaves etc.
thats not the “only” daily content. i think 1,5hours for a “main char” including everything is pretty spot on.
alts would be much lower since alot of it is “roster” gated.

Pvp islands are great, i have tbh.
Yes they are but carebears who go there are not, they take this game so serious xd
Im quite respectful. I know some people are only there for souls, i usually ask if someone wants to fight lol
Lol me not xd Red is dead.
Bahahaha. Ill keep and eye out for you then in case youre on my server. Dont wanna get caught slipping lol
Doubt anyone here is defending the crazy release schedule, that’s a valid argument but multiple points made by the OP are non sensical and have more to do with the genre and game design than the schedule.
It’s crazy how Koreans, RU and JP can survive months on an update and we’re all doom and gloom in a month when people who play more than a full time job’s schedule run out of things to do 'coz they don’t like alts, time gates or horizontal stuff.
Holy crap dude if dailies take that much you should look up a guide or something, you’re doing something wrong.
I can finish up 3 of my alts’ dailies in that time.
I do not rush, when I go to islands and I see pvp island I must go there and gank other players, between dailes I go to Arena, or visit other undiscovered before islands, mostly before I finish all my dailes I already played like 2-3 hours xd Sometimes I had situation when I wasted 2 hours fighting in pvp island xd
That’s 2 hours doing a bunch of stuff with dailies sprinkled in between.
Your post made it look like mere dailies take that long
Yea thats how I play this game xd As I understand your gameplay is a problem most of the players who treat this game as a job xd
A problem is that alts and horizontal/collection type play are both niche playstyles in the Western MMO market. The core of the Western MMO market is progression – it’s by far the most common reason people play MMOs. There are significant portions of the MMO playerbase here who also like a lot of alt play and who like collections/completionist/horizontal play, but those are both niches compared to the core that is progression-oriented.
Lost Ark really forces you to play those niche playstyles, whereas most players in this market are used to games that permit those playstyles and facilitate them but do not require them in order to further your progression or to enjoy the game for more than an hour or so.
It’s another aspect of the design of Lost Ark that isn’t a great fit for the Western MMO playerbase.
I do daylies on 4 Chars. Takes about 15 min. So what daylies are you talking about “taking forever”?
Same, just take it slowly would be the best way to explain the game. As if lately ive been pushing daylies etc because i realy want vitrue and some chars in T3 to try them in a more consistent way, but otherwise yeah your way to play sounds liek the healthier
I’m 400 too ( although a chunk of that is queue time due to EU servers) and I’m using only 1 char mostly. When I log in 1 do Una tasks, grand Prix, 2 X chaos, 2 X guardian, whatever is on the compass that day, cube etc if I have tickets and finally some islands and PvP if I have the time which I don’t quite often.
Maybe I’m not as efficient with my time in game as I could be but I also have a job so there’s that. If you’re playing 12 hrs+ a day and aren’t into collecting everything or PvP then I could see that ALTs are your only alternative but that’s the same for any mmo really.
If progression wasn’t time gated you’d be at max GS and bored anyway and left with alts. No MMO has enough PvE content to keep people that play all day and night busy unless they do PvP.
Depends which quests u choose near Punika u have 3 quests which u can under 10 minutes. Maybe he does not know which quests he should complete.
the game really only becomes alt friendly when you reach T3 and have enough gold so you can skip the story on alts. i have 4 alts but i don’t wanna do the story again on them so mats they can get is not as high. they cant help my main that is in t2 because my alts cant get to t2 before they do the story.
Yeah doing 8 x Chaos Dungeons instead of 2 x = 4x the fun
