Gold River's Quickly Forgotten Honesty about Lost Ark

Just because the content is there doesn’t mean you have to rush to do it.

I took this as him saying focus on the game and enjoying the content, instead of trying to compare what you have completed/obtained to what someone else with more time/money has completed/obtained, and then feeling “left behind.”

Mate the agrument fall apart when they didn’t release the missing mats content, if we are the fast track where is it?

Also where are the fix honing rates for T3? We have shettiest version of it. World’s first , the announcements are muted so even if they upgraded 20+ no one would know, most whales don’t even brag.

Character release , yeah it do be like da.

The other two points don’t really matter
Aka p2w and player Stability since if the above we’re fixed it would just be people complain about claases and skins.

No disrespect to the director , but something is afoot here.

Did it ever occur to you that not everyone follows these interviews, and many of the reasons people are upset are because he knew about the dead zone?

What world first is he even talking about? this game has been out for years LOL

That just makes me more upset at his excuse to milk whales. They needed to put out the other content before this. They literally made the same mistake as in Korea and it’s the reason people are upset.

Even if people watched the interview they wouldn’t have known about those dead zones unless they played other regions prior to the fix.

Technically, it’s an open philosophical question about whether or not we even have free will. So finger wagging at people about how they ought to involuntarily react to a given sense stimuli will probably not have the effect you think it will. But then, if this hypothesis is right, you’re compelled to do it anyway and I’m compelled to point it out. Oh well, carry on.

True

Thank god. This is the trashiest and worst part of e-peen stroking that was luckily left out of this game for NA/EU.

What argument? My post is directly from the director’s mouth. You can disagree with it or dislike it all you want, but this is obviously the direction Smilegate wants to take their game.

I don’t agree at all. There will always be people complaining on the forums about something. If they fast tracked materials for honing, the no lifers would beat Argos 1/2/3 in a week and then be on here saying “Where’s the content?!” “No content, games dead!” Anyone who has played ANY MMO knows this is true.

They are already saying where is the content regardless because they have to run the same thing on repeat to get to Argos.

New World tried the same thing by trying to increase player grind for the current content. It only pissed off players there as well and that game had legit zero content LOL

This game at the least needs to try and not make the same mistakes in our region as they did in Korea.

Argument that you showcased saying “it comes from the director , so everything else is invalid. “ Also speaks I’m fine with having shet amount of mats and not having the better version of T3 honing that all the other version got when released.

Also you deflect my last statement who cares if they complain about new content drought would just been other update in week or two after that. The point was that these specific complain would be resolved. Yes , everyone knows that would happen. There is more content too do in LA and you don’t like then maybe that’s on you.

Of course we have free will. Without free will we would be like robots and would only do things because of natural processes in our brain, how could you then even trust yourself ? The brain is just a tool we use like you use a computer, there is more to it than just natural processes but I digress …

Ah the copium topic. had to show up sometime.

All I see is that they gave us worse honing rates, less activities and less materials than in KR/RU. Thank you for the honesty and the “F2P”.

This so much. They probably went with “hey, what if we go full lazy and skip steps in order to just make it a really absurd grind compared to the original game to see if we can fish some whales?”.

And that’s where we are right now.

I don’t know what kind of mental gymnastics you’ve done to reach that conclusion, but no where in my post did I mention that “everything else is invalid.”

If my post had any meaning, it was direct toward the people who harness massive hate boners for AGS, and to point out that perhaps they should lay off the hatium and realize that these decisions could very well be coming directly from SmileGate.

I’m enjoying my time in game, and if I had anything I don’t like its missing timed events because they’re only up while I’m working. I’m also not gunning to be 1370 in a month or feel that I need extra fast honing though so…

Yup I remember all of this clearly and it’s why I can’t help but feel like the decision to not include certain content wasn’t on their side.
The creator is like yeah we’re gonna give you the whole game with the exception of Argos afterward BUT you’ll be getting access to everything you need to get you there! We hope you enjoy!
Game releases
Missing content, lack of communication, & a team of mods (whom I feel bad for) that have to sit on these forums and get their asses kicked because AGS or whoever didn’t release the game the way it should have been.
Now all of these “delays” give off the impression that players in the West just aren’t capable & can’t handle these monthly updates when the real problem is us not having access to the tools needed to get us there.

I don’t know what kind of mental gymnastics you’ve done to reach that conclusion, but no where in my post did I mention that “everything else is invalid.”

Hilarious that you think this. Anyway, we blame both of them for giving this carp version. In which they had two attempts on JP and RU server.

This guy is no Yoshi-P, he’s another Bobby Kotick trying to enforce the most predatory system possible.

It’s really funny how much changes from each response to what was originally said, via translator. This whole forum is literally one big game of Telephone at this point, and everyone has themselves absolutely convinced it’s not. Throw in the trolls, the fake accounts, one thread literally inciting a near riot, I won’t be surprised when the forums get shut down because people start thinking it’s funny to making threats.

These are the same types of people that used to swat streamers, the same ones that always come around to just create dissent.

Regardless of the situation the game is in, this absolute mockery of civil feedback is gross.
@Rhel
While your post should have been informative for some, I’m afraid the fire is lit and literally nothing is going to slow the blaze. These folks will beat this horse until it’s unrecognizable. Good thing the forum is representing at BEST about 15 to 20k of this group. Well and all of their “friends, family, pets” that all feel the same way they do.

I mean for real. This is actually the FIXED translation error. But literally three posts later:

All classes in 2 to 3 months WAS the translation error. But does it even matter, we barely made it out of the first month and it’s already doomsday.

honestly many players are just nearly finished with the game i didnt even play that hardcore and i did every single island and story quest just to now sit at 1340 waiting for honing patch and more legion raids its ok everyone can enjoy the game at his own pace but some players are literally done with the game argos is only highlight for them and many cant play it. The only thing im still missing in LA is collectibles but i was never rly a big collector and im only willing to put time in getting these if i see the game improve

Collectibles are like 80% of the game, and play a huge part in character power since skill points are tied behind collectibles…

Also, alts are a huge part of this game. They don’t give us two power passes or develop things like Knowledge Transfer for no reason…

alts a big part of the game for what reason…

It’ll give ya a hint as to why many are not thrilled with the lack of useful content.
