alot might not even get there, unless they have a strong motivation to continue climbing despite all sewage water they have to swim through.
As for the end game contents stuff, yea, it’s boring, brainless, and personally when i used to play, come reset time, it feels awful to go through the dailies on alts. Eventually i did less and less, and quit altogether because i couldn’t keep up with all the gate keepers’ demands.
You’re eagerly awaiting the day where you will need a week to see one accessory you need on the market that gets snatched immediately by someone else.
But it’s ok, let’s hope more and more and more people quit. It’ll definitely make the game better
Oh so you quit the game because you don’t enjoy it. Kinda useless then to go through all that then
I got to the end game and discovered how bland it is. It’s not useless, it’s a lesson. So i can avoid playing these type of game in the future. Never have i played such a stupid game that force players to repeat the same daily contents on multiple alts, or a game built on having alts as the core gameplay.
Low contents, HIGH repetition to make it seems like there is alot to do. Nope, the content is as dry, short, and bland as can be. Such a pathetic way for them to artificially increase login time.
Honestly, can someone tell me how they can drag themself into a loop like this willingly??
Did you really quit the game if you browse said games forums for months seeking validation for your decision.
Kinda seems like you’re letting the game waste your time and you dont even have it installed.
Please do yourself and everyone else a favor and show yourself out.
This.
What’s wrong with reading the forum to see the state of it? All i see here are people claiming to be “dedicated gamer” with social issues whom stayed home on weekends and dont do shit with their life but gaming like it’s a job.
But hey, it’s my entertainment to read what i want, and commenting as i like. Who are you? Go farm on your alts. Did you finished your work for the day already? Got your payout yet? Dont forget to gamble it afterward for actual result.
Lol half your replies are commenting on people being a “kid” or the same thing about the game being grindy repetitive content yet you find coming to the forums every day to say the same thing entertaining?
Are you old enough to know what irony is?
The difference being youre enjoying wasting your time trolling forums of a game you dont play, whilst simultaneously saying everyone here- the same place as you- actually playing the game and enjoying it a “no life kid with social issues”
“Whats wrong with reading the forum to see the state of it”
This is sad.
I guess GW2 isnt keeping up with your entertainment nor are their forums XD
Ags rmting
You never know there’s have been scummy companies in the past that make believe.
E.g. those 200+ Grudge books could very well be Amazon, they would win either way crystal/gold or getting people that bought illegal gold.
Oops I shouldn’t share my views because if it doesn’t meet the nazi German mods views it’s considered “causing dissent” even though you’re sharing real life experience with/from the game that you’re faced with on a daily basis.
The people im talking about quiting, if you go up and ACTUALLY read what I said, are not likely to be the ones selling accessories in the AH, because they have to pass the content to get those accessories in the first place. And they cant. So if you ACTUALLY read what I said, and didn’t just take bits and pieces of it and get your panties all in a bunch, then you would know that your reply to me makes zero sense. Read before reacting. Simple.
Hahahaha nice! That guy is a clown for real. He quit the game because he got sick of being floor POV and being kicked from raid groups for sucking, and now he’s in the forums trying to make people as miserable as he is.
Lord not only is the game going downhill fast just look at this thread! Garbage game gets garbage forum posts as well I guess. Oh and there are bots everywhere as anyone can see now.
I feel like you’ve never played an MMO in your life if this is the breaking point for you.
The core point of mmos for the last like 15 years has been alot of repetitive daily content like Daily quests, Daily dungeons, Reputation grinds and then maybe 1 or 2 days of meaningful Raid Content.
I “drag” myself through the loop because I like playing my characters. The gameplay itself is great and I get alot of satisfaction playing my classes well. There is a constant numerically calculatable upwards progression that sparks that monkey part of my brain that likes bars filling up and numbers going up.
Chaos Dungeons are really the only part of this game that feel a little tedious to me but even then that’s on classes that have unfun chaos Dungeons (Scrapper CD are torture). Guardians are still fun for me but I’m biased cause I managed to cut all my yohos out. Also a certain program my friend runs lets me track my dps which fullfills that toxic part of my brain to confirm how well I’m playing compared to everyone else. Turning Every descaluda into a dps test is fun to me
This is the 1st MMO i’ve played that forced the creation of alts to repeat contents, and by contents, i mean the 2 boring modes of chaos dungeon and guardian raid; Outside of these 2, 5-6days, there is nothing worth login for.
The 80% that left disagree.
Yep 6 bots = 100k players

Some of the more popular mmorpgs have a bit more to them than lost ark does.
FFxiv for example has dozens of dungeons you can get in your daily roulette to add variety, dozens of trials you can get in your daily roulette to add variety, hard modes, raids, mount farms, 2 repeatable towers that are optional and can be run as many times as you want every day, glamour (transmog) farm, professions, housing (legitimate housing that can be customized), quests, gold saucer, etc. etc.
WoW is/was pretty much similar.
Lost Ark’s daily loop is 2 of the same exact guardian (no variety), 2 chaos dungeons (feels the same in T3 as it did in T1), and una dailies.
Field bosses, ghost ships, chaos gates, and adventure islands aren’t daily, legion raids aren’t daily, abyss dungeons aren’t daily, tower has zero variety and can only be completed once per character (per difficulty) , most islands can only be done 1 time, professions have a limit, etc. etc.
Lost Ark really needs a lot more daily variety like other mmorpgs to even come close.
They have scaling for the guardians already, they could have a random (optional) roulette like ffxiv to spice things up daily instead of just the weekly 3. They could add some interesting stuff to the islands to make them somewhat repeatable. Many other things can be done, but right now the gameplay loop for Lost Ark is very very shallow compared to the more popular mmorpgs of the last 10-15 years.
It does have really nice combat, good vfx, good sounds (mostly), decent customization when you have skins and dyes though.
people care way to much about numbers i doesnt matter if 10.000.000 or 10.000 play the game aslong as u can complete all content without major porblems (waiting 5min is not a major problem)
I largely do agree that a randomized roulette for the guardians would do alot to spice up the gameplay.
I would argue tho as someone who’s played literal decades of WoW. WIthin the first few months of the expansion every dungeon becomes the same unbearable slog. The only things keeping me going in WoW for the longest time was transmogs as even the raids become fairly tedious week to week once you get your first clear. My motivation to keep raiding drops like a rock once we clear it and it disappears completely once I’m fully geared. I looked at each dungeon with the same boredom regardless of which one I actually got and this extended to mythic+. It technically got worse cause there are some mythic+'s that I just wouldn’t run cause they are so unfun. it wasn’t a case of “these are all fun in different ways” it became a “these are all dull as hell now and I REALLY don’t want to do these in particular”
Now this is just my opinion and I’ve been going through the cycle of getting burned out by WoW year by year every time there is a new expansion or patch. I do think the benefit of Lost Arks cycle is that I am at least doing the content on different characters that have different gameplay loops. Spending 2 hours across 6 characters that all play differently for 30 minute spurts feels more like playing 6 games of LoL to me compared to playing 2 1 hour games of DoTA. I get the variety in Lost Ark from the characters rather than from the content which I think is valid even if it’s not for everyone.
I agree with what you said about WoW, I don’t play it anymore because the game got really stale for me and I really really didn’t like how much they changed up the core of the game in recent years.
I think FFxiv has a better daily loop because of the scaling roulettes, so you get the same rewards no matter if you get a level 20 scaled dungeon or a level 50. That’s just personal preference though, I still think WoW is fundamentally a better more optimized game but the systems and abandoning of content has really hurt WoW.
I know that every single game, mmorpg, even life itself has stuff that you have to do day after day, variety certainly helps things feel less same-y.
I also agree that alts that feel different can add some spice and variety.
hopefully SG works on adding some variety to the daily/weekly loop and add more reasons to do some of the content that isn’t really “repeatable”.
