Yea when you look at it Lost ark has different publisher outside of Korea and all of them fail miserably. However, there is only one thing in common and that is Smilegate.
I remember those said ags can’t afford loa where they are now 
black skin control market chicken server can’t write code haha
The drop in playerbase will be massive post Brel as content will start to dried faster and many competitors release AAA games and burn out from players. The fundamental progression design of Lost Ark is flaw at its core and won’t last long outside KR market.
Well there is a reason for that
LA is marketed and precived as mmo but if you dont have static its pretty solo-coop experience, even with static which is needed to boost sharing through alts basically i wont say its that much of an mmo.
You cant even trade items in party as gearing is market centered.
Someone could trade you honing mats but it would hinder his progress in return so i dont think its that common practice somehow.
TBH at launch i have played with friends and they had much more playtime than me cause of work & life obligations on my side
And you know what?
in almost 2 months of playing while each day on discord we had one dung together…
I dont really like to drag ppls.
Thats how mmo in here feals in esence.
In wow i can catch up by doing lower tier content for week or two and thats acceptable for everyone as its usually doable in 3-4 hours each week and you can gear couple new guild members on top of couple alts
dont think so. pretty sure most of them like me arent going to play it anyway no matter the publisher. not everyone likes that assthetic of pure anime style game. ags being the pub just sets that fact in stone lol. they should make gamigo the publisher, that suck too but can keep games going long past their expiration dates lmfao. AGS aint that bad tho, they just aint too good either, like a nice uncle but he wont give u head pats or his credit card to buy RC
I’m I the only one who don’t get the hype around this game? Watched a couple videos about it and it looks like just another generic F2P MMORPG with pretty anime graphics, there’s no catch to it.

I gonna say this, “I am not touching any game which have AGS involvement in it”, AGS is so noob company and have no idea how to handle games and customers.

Great another freaking game ruined by AGS, they can’t even manage 2 games but are publishing more. Stupid ass Bandai, another game people are looking forward to but gonna get butchered by AGS culture. I wish I didn’t see this thread…really didn’t.

Okay and how is this weeb game relevant on Lost Ark forum?
It is not because of AGS, but the gameplay so far is kind of underwhelming base on the trailer. However, let’s see the end product maybe will change view. Was kind of expecting something amazing like their latest tales series.
On the contrary, most of the issue experience so far with the game Lost Ark is not due to AGS but due to the Developer. A lot of time AGS receive thing that is late which give them little time to test and quality control. Reason I’m saying this is because if you look at New Word their recent comeback has been good and did listen to most players feedback, so far review has been positive. Also, if you look in the market New World is close to free to play, you only paid for the game, but then you don’t need to paid for sub and the in app purchase does not hinder the progression and i think AGS has done pretty ok in this Western Lost Ark version vs KR one. They did as much as they can within the allowable limit.
A lot of thing happened in Lost Ark because AGS is not in control of the IP. Also, since it is a KR mmo, even AGS want to make this game more players friendly and the pheons stuff, it won’t change it since Korea players will rage and said unfair. That is the majors issue with many Korean mmo. It will always end up with a tarnished reputation on the publisher side since they are the one facing the client.
At some point Smilegate needs to decide whether they want this game to grow internationally with uncap potential or simply stay with the current model tailor to KR market with limit potential in term of top line growth. There is a reason why Crossfire not available in Korea but all internationally successful so far. The whole game and monetization need to rework, for sure in short term Smilegate might lose some, but long term the scalability is there. Just pick your poison.
just try tower of fantasy. if you play lost ark with all the P2W garbage, you’ll love it. plus it has bouncing you know what and no pallet changes.
