4.5k hours, played since 3 day head start. Things that would massively improve the game

For hardcore gamers the ONLY reason you run chaos is for shards + silver. Ofc you have to cound them as the part of chaos gold?

I like how you say this instead of for swipers lol. Don’t be ashamed if you are gonna spend money on the game. Anyway unless it’s a brand new character that you are honing from scratch you aren’t ever going to run out of shards honing on mats you farm so no it’s really not part of the gold at all. Have never had to and will never buy shards in this game. Out of my stockpiled recourses for artist shard boxes and bags are the mat I have way more than any other.

Maybe I am just confused to what these self proclaimed hardcore and pro lost ark gamers in this thread are? I have multiple characters doing brel 1-6 and brel hard ready over 2 months before it releases only ever doing rested content and never buying shards. Is the only difference here I don’t need to compensate lack of skill with ilvl so im not force rushing my self to go 1570+ for our current 1520 content? What is your goal? To clear raids 10 minutes faster? How does that even out if you spent hundreds/thousands hours more farming in order to do so lol.

I do like the fact that I have literally half the game time play only rested so never burn out and we are still doing all the same end game content with the same results but “im playing wrong” :rofl:

No they are forced. If they miss a single chaos/guardian on one of their 15 chararcters it’s game over shut it down uninstall thats a few hundred gold of mats lost.

These whining babies don’t know how well they have it. Most f2p mmo, hell even most paid mmo don’t have anything like a rested system where they can literally skip a day/do half the work and get most of the rewards. A daily is a daily in most games you miss it too bad bye bye rewards. LA you miss daily? oh well do it tomorrow and get most of the rewards no problem.

I always cringe watching people play games like jobs then hiding behind “casual and hardcore” excuses. You aren’t hardcore you are literally just playing wrong. Respect to people who want to go all in doing every daily un rested every day. Respect for them because they enjoy it because they aren’t whining for change. If you are doing it while crying for it to change then it’s a job to you simple as.
“I have to make 10+ alts” “I have to do every single daily never go rested” “I have to play 10 hours a day to get as high ilvl as possible despite casuals just catching up every gear reset anyway because honing chances go way up” how does anyone with that kind of mindset ever enjoy the game? Or honestly I feel like these people have never played a game to simply enjoy it and not stress them self and slave them self for nothing.

More reduce chaos and guardian to 1… Then this very same OP makes twice the characters to fill the same amount of time it took daily for him to reach 4.5k hours… :joy:

This won’t happen and SG already stated it won’t happen

SG won’t make change that would negatively impact KR casual playerbase

Gold river already stated that they won’t do that for lost ark.

Yes, good idea.

They either need to reduce Chaos/Guardian from 2 to 1 per day or introduce something like a daily task/adventure.

Daily task/adventure could be either Guardian or Chaos or Random Abyss? You get a random daily task/adventure like kill a guardian, when you complete it you get rewards same as (2x chaos/2x guardian). The overall rewards weekly should be the same if you complete it daily. Same idea as SG Combinding Cube/Boss rush and reducing dailys to 1 per day/char.

Reduce gold characters from 6 to 3 per roster, increase gold earned by 100% from raids. Also introduce the free bonus loot on 4th alt and onwards just like KR will get.

With more content coming and more weeklys/dailys and other chores, we have to accept it and reduce the homework by reducing gold earning characters.

Didn’t gold river leave because of health issues?

I guess you dont bus, I would like to get a picture of your roster. As a light spender (50eu on char slot/1 ark pass) the only resource holding me back from honing is shards silver on everychar and to push my main (for fun I buy all big shard pouches from mari)

I can bet you’re roster/gems etc isn’t even close to mine, so funny you say we have the same result.

while u guys arguing how the dailies system broken
and im about to having burnout symptom

i play every day only doing unas
1x CD everday
2x GR only when 2 rest bar fill

The only major change that is worth wild isn’t so much reducing gates or guardians. That isn’t the problem, the problem is how few resources you actually obtain. It takes like 1-3 alts of doing both, to tap once or twice. That’s a problem when a singular character doesn’t even make enough resources to tap more than twice a day. Given the metric is sub 5% the stronger you get. Those statistics are mind-blowing to see and experience. Mean while a person who spends 20 dollars essentially obtains your whole week gains. That’s 2 hours of work cutting out nearly 40 hours of grinding. That metric alone is redundant, the issue is resources. If a player grinds 40 hours at least increase the gains near the metric of the money. But Like I tell anyone, 50 dollars saves you like 2 weeks of grinding and you have access to rested and you can finished horizontal for 14 days. I just simply use disposable income because the grinding in this game isn’t worth it I’d rather work a few hours and pay into the game.

gold river didn’t say anything about that stop spreading misinfo

I don’t know whether you are just arguing against for the sake of pointing out how they are “questionable” or because you genuinely think the game should stay as is.

By reducing it once per day for maximum award means it would benefit all of us. Since you already do that regardless, you don’t need to change how you play either, it just means you get the benefit of receiving maximum reward instead of reduced.

So why do you hate the idea so much? I for one, would push towards changes that benefits me lol. I don’t see the negative of reducing to once per day instead of 2 - what is it you hate so much about this changes they want?

Smilegate for sure would not want to implement it because they wana keep the fomo aspect of it in the game to keep the players. It is actually part of their features where they intentionally have the fomo part in because they know the psychology behind it. The longer you stay on their game, the better - hence they told the Korean community “no” regarding this topic.

But you? Why? What is it that you hate about the changes? Or do you just enjoy writing about this topic to call out other people’s decision making?

Double agreed. I have +30 boss rush tickets and +30 cube tickets on each alt and I just can’t see my self doing it. I have one alt doing boat runs for those runs using Stronghold but that takes forever and the rewards are much less than doing them your self but I just can’t. Cube/Boss are so boring I almost fall asleep doing them xD.

CD+GR being only 1 per day would be much more healthy for the game. It’s too much time spent every single day without no end on sight until you quit the game. Some new games are coming soon in future that I’ve been waiting for and because of the CD+GR will make me not want to play Lost Ark during that time which will end up in making me quit the game. I usually play 2-3 games but Lost Ark ‘‘wanna make you play dailly’’ makes it very hard to play more games than only one. Devs need to realize that ppl wanna be able to play more games.
Lost Ark will just make people burn out very easily.

I play Maplestory and that game is much more grindy than Lost Ark but at least the daily ‘chores’ only take like 15 minutes and they are actually really worth doing plus you are not time-gated on grinding you could take a day and just grind away with no time-gating on grinding while in Lost Ark your grind is logging in everyday and doing CD+GR, time-gated grind… there’s no freedom of how you want/when you want to grind in game compared to Maplestory.

You do brel 1-6. I do brel 1-6. Idc if you have higher ilvl or gems it just shows u need more to compensate for lack of skill to pass raids.

The point was that went over your little head is that I can spend 2k less hours and no money in game to be doing the exact same end game. You factually do not need to ever do 2x daily on any character do end game easily in lost ark.

I don’t hate the idea. I wouldn’t be like “omg if they changed this id quit” I hate the cringe cry babies who treat games like jobs constantly saying “I MUST DO EVERY DAILY OR ELSE I MISS SO MUCH” like shut up lmao.

Facts are you have 0% say on if this gets changed as a western player they don’t take your feedback on things like this from the west. I am just giving you facts that instead of crying and burning out that you can easily do everything in this game with the rested system that already exists. It’s always the same old boring whining from people with 10+ characters. The game wasn’t even designed for that it has 6 by default the gold cap is 6 it’s made for 6. You have to pay money to even create more. Imagine paying money to create more work for your self to just complain. Job gamers lol.

And the fact you call losing a few mats “fomo” by doing rested vs none rested is nothing to do with smilegate it’s that you have lost it lmao. No one with a healthy mind has “fomo” over something like that you don’t even realise what you are saying is insane. Don’t fool your self that you are being sane because there are a few other people in lost ark forums who think like you and zeals a streamer who’s entire life is lost ark never leaves his basement and says stuff like I quote “I want my reaper to take a sh*t on my chest”

You guys need a break to fix your minds. But then next you will be like another post “I can’t take a break from lost ark I will never catch up wahh” so delusional.

Can you send me a video of you doing brel 3 man on 4 of your characters? And I know a casual or noob don’t care but I like to be competetive with the whales and I doubt you ever MVP. Just stop talking stuff that isn’t relevant :slight_smile: My discussion was never about 2x daily is bad or you should do them. Just that for US (NOT YOU) hardcore gamers we need those shards+silver so obviously we count the value of these in CDs. Stop talking like you are someone that know shit when you are just a casual that dont kno anything.

(You dont even dare to send picture of your roster ;))

This wouldnt afect ANYTHING, why you ask? cuz this is not a game problem is a you not beeing able to control your FOMO problem, if they reduce the chaos and guardian to 1 you would just make more alts and get at the same point, im also at 4k hours and i even deleted 1460 characters full reliq set and ive decided a long time ago my max is gona be 9 characters and doing a full rested 3 characters per day rotation.

Yeah but why do you care?

Who cares? Let people complain incase they do make the changes loool. See this is what I am confused about, why do you care? Do you actually care about people who have fomo problems or you just enjoy the superiority complex of having the ability to tell other people to: “do this, do that like imagine not being able to.” Or “Imagine doing this when you can do this” statements? :thinking:

I seriously do not care about people with Fomo cz it doesn’t affect me personally. If the whining works and it is reduced by 2x per instead of 4x, great! Like good news, it benefits me in the long run.

From what I can see, I dont think you care either except you find yourself in a upper position by intentionally telling the people with fomo they have a problem lol. I mean, if you genuinely care my bad - you do you cause you might actually help somebody, but they way you put it e.g:

no one is gona listen mate. If you do care, you might want to change your wordings - if you don’t care and you are just saying your opinions to put yourself in the upper pedestal… understandable have a nice day loool.

I, for one hope the complaints continues regardless whether you are in the west/korea/jp/ru because it will benefit me in the long run. The Korean region also wants 2x per not 4x, and if both Korea and West wants the same thing, who are you to say it will never happen? It may actually have some impact.

This I see it happening, like 100%. The fomo people who didnt ask for 2x per vs 4x, will definitely do this. LOL But for me who actually don’t care and looking for self-fulfilling qol changes, 2x will definitely make me happy LOL.
