well, I need your opinion. I know lots of you guys invested lots of time and resources into your EUW roster, so for most of you guys “switching to EUC” is not an option. some people will prefer to quit the game instead of starting in another region.
the question is: will you make a character in EUC if they release 1490 hyper express?
let’s hear my story: I have a really good roaster. 1512 Artist, 1520 Destroyer, 1520 SF, 1540 Glaivier, 1540 Gunslinger, 1560 Wardancer. at this point, except for my WD, which is my main, the other chars almost reached their goal. honing them above this level requires lots of time and other resources. For example, my destroyer and SF have 6 set brel but they got gated by silver, and acquiring silver to hone them is actually pain. So, for me, I have little tasks to do after this point. I just want to play with my friends at this point. but almost everyone has left the game. I know lots of you guys don’t want to spend hours doing dailies and weeklies and repeating them. I don’t like too. so I prefer to keep my roaster as it is and just do weeklies on main, and probably start 1 char on EUC. through discord, I found some friends that play on EUC so I think they don’t mind if they play with their low roster lvl friend who only does weeklies for one character.
I’m not talking about completely leaving your roaster and making a switch to EUC. I’m not stupid enough to start all things from 0, make 6 chars again, collect every collectible, skill points, etc. I used the 1445 hyper express one my EUC character and honed it to 1455 for now. I’m not playing with that character until one of my friends in EUC wants to do any raid. who wants to get gatekept?
At that point i think is better to just go to a new game and be done with lost ark. You dont really realise how bad and painful is to get horizontal content stuff that is sadly important to your character back
Id wait and see what the new changes coming to horizontal content are about.
If the new player experience and the catching up experience gets that much better as they say, it might be worth the shot (i doubt it will be something that major though.
Genuine question though. Are things that bad on EUW ? Can you guys do raids etc?
already finished 6x vykas. 5x clown, 1 1-4 HM brel, 2 1-4 NM brel. in prime time, you can find people to do content, but not many.
but what’s the catch? all of them with pugs… most people in my friend list didn’t come online for 6 months or so.
It’s just 2 servers: Nia and Aelyn. Plenty of people to play with but not enough to sustain real region. Not too many lobbies, but enough if you have decent roster to raid in peak time. It’s auction house that suffers the most, barely anything on it and also hard to sell items other than most anticipated BiS accessories. It’s not dramatic yet, but looking at the rate LA is bleeding players out it may get pretty bad anytime soon.
EUW was being set as a default server if you create an account a while ago, so we have a nice influx of new players, but hard to say how many of them decide to keep playing.
Biggest guilds are doing well, giving the circumstances also we have less bots than other regions and decent gold to crystal ratio ( 1700g/90BC last I checked ).
We have one thing in common, we’re looking forward to get merged with EUC so we could finally buy and sell things without sniping AH for months to get anything with class engraving on it. We don’t have any founder skins available to buy, EUC has plenty priced around 30k. We would gladly pay 100k for it if we could.
Just like the guys before me said - we can manage but it’s far from being ideal.
if people wanted to restart on the better region they would have already done so, if you are still on euw you are there untill you quit. Since the last person quitting on euw will happen before region merge/transfer.
I don’t care for the hyper express. Even if it’s 1490, this will not help for anything. 1490 character with 300 skills points, 4x3 with low roaster lvl and no titles. With the gatekeeping no one will take me in any raid. No point. I would move to EUC if they give me my horizontal content, cards and all legendary books i have. Without them the hyper express is pretty useless.
no. I’m not insane. also, I’m not actively playing on my EUC account. no dailies no chaos. nothing except vykas valtan with friends, and only for 1 char. won’t want to start all things over again.
For me it goes fine every week, i pug everything because i just dont wanna be on a guild or statics and usually finish everything on saturday with not that big of an issue
Auction house can be a bit painful sometimes, but once you find it, you never have to touch it again so its not a big deal
