It’s a good thing that exchange ratio of gold to crystals is going donw. It should never been so high if not for bots and RMT.
This means gold is more valuable, meaning every bit of gold you get from abyss dungeons, chaos dungeons, and AH are more value. It means you can buy more stuff with the same amount of gold. This is overall a good thing.
The event got me from like 1353 to 1362 im pretty damn happy with that.
I dont mind that im not 1370 its an mmo and gearing is supposed to be a process
I agree that crystal prices going down is good for where we are in the game right now. Or rather, where the majority of people are. Previously crystals were inaccessible to a large part of the playerbase due to people simply not having gold. Most people are still in T1 and T2 and therefore are only earning a couple hundred gold per week from abyss dungeons which is the primary source of income for most people so this deflation helps them get more value out of their gold. Once the majority of the playerbase is in T3 and starts running T3 abyss, legions, and other contents that provide gold then crystal prices should go up again due to inflation.
Honing changes would make people get to 1370 way too fast for how little content there is in the game atm. They would all raid log, they need to enjoy the other parts of the game to be able to have fun at endgame or itll be just like wow with raidlogging
People are also realizing the game is not suited for them that’s why they also quit slowly. You can see a lot of people on this forum. They just whine about the core systems of the game and don’t understand this is an MMORPG. It’s fine wanting what Korea has for material but whining about the game in general like doing daily chaos dungeons and stuff is just them not liking the game. Also, some players may already be waiting. There are also players like me who aren’t playing as much and doing at most 3 hours a day since they’re on their daily cycle which also effects the numbers. Material injection was fine when helping people get over the dead zone. Some people were just unlucky in upgrading though but that’s just how the game works.
388k yesterday, AGS are just slowly killing this game. What a fail, the game had so much hype and now we will be thankful for 100k players in month and long queues for matchmaking.
oh god its the Population Police!
Oh god its the Population Police!
Honing rates patch will bring more players back, not more materials for people to fail on their enchantments.
Not saying anything definitive here either way about the games performance or AGS handling of it…
But it is weird that after a relatively big update that was communicated in advance with lots of freebies and materials that fewer people logged in they day of, and after, the patch than before.
Majority of bots were banned so you can tell people did come back because it moreso evened out
You say that but the amount of bots on Vykas appear to be identical to before the update. Same gold seller spam, same speed hacking gold farming bots.
Come on. Even though it doesn’t help to point this out, you don’t need to be disingenuous about it. Lost Ark is having problems of players bleeding out. This is not just the hype is over and it’s normalizing. the game has been out right decline even after 1 month of release.
i would rather have 2 little content added (but good) rather than getting a huge update with BAD content
I’ll never understand you people, its like you doomsayers move from launch to launch and scream about player loss and completely forget this happens for EVERY GAME, did you actually think Lost Ark was ever gonna retain 600k+ people? If so, you’re plain delusional. Even games like FFXIV bleed players constantly.
atleast on my server because of this patch the gold prices have halved and deflated a lot
You dont need honing chances anymore and doing so will cause market prices to drop more. The tailoring and metallurgy books are more than sufficient now. Its not supposed to be a gimme. I leveled to 1370 today mainly with saved up untradable mats from 1355 - 1370. I bought a few thousand blue crystals off the market and that was it. 1355 - 1370 can easily be acheved in 1 week now. That’s perfectly fine IMO.
Id been at 1355 for 2 weeks and I was selling all tradable mats, if i was to of used the tradable mats i could of done it in a week.
Players are leaving because theyve hit a wall, it happens in all mmo’s but you can make it so you fly through 1370 when the majority of the content is under 1370. Before the patch the pacing was definitely off, now its just right. I hope before the next content drop smile gate and amazon get the pacing right.
Yes more skin definitely i got bored without it
Yes new skins are definitely needed asap. I don’t understand why they dont just release nerias dressing room. That will give loads of options to players and still leave room to release other skins on a monthly schedule while still not having everyone look the same.
New minimum 353k, not good AGS.
Meanwhile I made 1370 yesterday I still enjoy game a lot, but not all as it seems.
