Help I cannot get into any groups and I’m stuck at 1490

Except… the first clear reward chest from Clown gives you silver, chaos stones and legion raid special honing materials only. This isn’t Brel.

So he has to clear G1+G2 for two resets to get his first Level 2 set piece… which is 12 trumpets BTW, 6 per week. :upside_down_face:

(You can get a full 15 trumpets per week if you clear G1-G3 with bonus loot + the chest bid at the end!)

Calling me bad without knowing how I play shows how incompetent you are. Prejudice is not a good solution. I’m not lying to you here. I tell the truth, I have no reason to lie or to exalt myself and belittle others. I have reported my bad experiences with pugs and in the reclear and achiment lobbies. here i do my best and i’m pretty good at not making mistakes i have no stats. I go in with pugs every week, even if I don’t stay in jail every week, sometimes this happens, for example, after 3 weeks, this week I spent hours at the clown vykas and brel doors. You’re going to blame me here because it’s easier to accept the truth than to blame someone else. You can’t claim to me that you complete every raid flawlessly every week, even with your static, and you can’t make assumptions. But it’s not my fault the players are bad. they’ve had regressions in situations where they’ve been making the same content that’s been around for 8 months and normally need to improve on memorizing all the patterns and making a quick counter move. this is the source of what we are living right now. I make mistakes too, but the mistakes I make are not major mistakes. repeatable mistakes are not. Mostly when I die, I die because I was unlucky. For example, I joined the reclear lobby today and when we came to the shandi mechanics 6 people were outside and two people were inside? In this case, who is at fault, me or them? Or because they didn’t know what to do, they made such a big mistake and forced us to start over? Or when I told someone to put the meteor that will appear after the shandi, 12 1 77, was it my fault that someone put 11 and broke the tile there?

Everybody is being gatekept from hm g6 atm, even supps. Don’t worry, it’s not just you. G6 can be true jailge, so people are gatekeeping hard behind pet/5 clear achievement.

Almost sounds like… a static or a guild is the right choice? :thinking:

i joined those lobby too the result is the same

Thats not called gatekeeping. Thats called playing with the same tier of player i am. I cleared 4 g1-g6 this week within 10h. All locked behind 5 clear achiev/pet. Is usually a one tap all gates max 3 wipes on g6 and max 1 on g5. Someone who spent over 30h week 1 brel hm on g6 deserves to play with ppl of the same level.

It doesn’t matter and nobody cares about the trumpets. If he wants to do clown he needs to learn clown and the rest will come naturally.

That is called gatekeeping. That is literally what gatekeeping is in this game. Lol

If you’re pugging every raid. That’s on you mate. Tryn pug latest content is foolish… using your argument against you, you’re blaming everyone else except accepting the truth. Why don’t you take the time and find a static that’s tailed to your needs instead of pugging every run? I’m just trying to understand you. If you’re such a dedicated player you claim to be, you should have no issues finding like minded players. My discord’s overflowing in LFP/LFG. Almost none of them are jail runs. I will agree that public matchmaking/ pugs are terrible and Brel HM accentuated that. The way I see it is, Clown G3 made sure that everyone had to be mechanically skilled, i.e able to do complex mechs but DPS didn’t really matter. Even on ilvl you’d be very unlucky or bad to hit enrage. Brel G56 added a layer ontop of that. Now you have to be mechanically skilled and also know the patterns enough to keep up your DPS. I’ve had runs with people in the static who unfortunately were parsing way too little damage to carry on. Had to replace and we eventually cleared. Even in statics sometimes things don’t go as planned. No its not your fault that someone misplaced one meteor, but this is the game you’re playing. It was made this way. Plenty of people think the raid wipe mechanics are far too punishing and I think that’s an okay opinion, just that mine differs. I played Lost Ark on the RU server and JP server before global was released, I knew back then and still do now, Lost Ark is a niche MMO.

low roster with good engraving but only 4x3 i guess? i dont mind carry and teach you, but that is the summary of lost ark player.

little did you know, many alts also use4x3 on clown and brel, but they running it with guild. and or have high roster

I sent you a DM if you want some help running clown tomorrow.

dont try to join reclear groups

Clown title is heavy weight, Im autopicked and non question asked on brel normal/hard as prokel with my clown title and im also running 12 clowns a week since esther mats

This week I honed a lil gl in my alt roster to 1490, I have 4 lvl 7 dmg gems and rest 5 there, he has only 3 pieces set lvl 2 and I joined a 7/8 brel group lf prokel… Killed prokel, got out, crafted a piece, honed to 16, ran gate 3-4 and profit hes now 1503, so I can join any party no question asked, Btw that alt roster lvl is 128 BUT I have los 18 on it hehe, also the liltte gl of course use my clown title

If you are from EUC there is a discord group that has learning parties.

you talk wayyy to much about gatekeeping and how you are not being rejected
and then you come out saying you play on euw lol
do you realize you have no clue about gatekeeping? and you never really experiance it like many others here? your server is dead, the gatekeeping is way lower and even nonexists if you compare it to euc
sorry to brust the buble for ya lol

no it’s not

the difference is 5-10% dmg which can easily be covered by other aspects of the build for the content that you are gatekeeping

we were doing vykas with lvl 3 tripods and 55> lvl characters without any issue

now if you want to have a juiced run thats completely fine
going on a 1460 to do vykas and only taking lvl 60s?
sounds like broken priorities to me

Your best bet is using the 3rd party app discord to find a guild or join some of the learning group discords (Official Lost ark one and the unofficial are a good start as they are huge). Sad I know…that we have to rely on a 3rd party app to have a chance at playing the game properly.

However don’t get your hopes up. I’ve joined all of the teaching discords myself on my server and the people teaching are incredibly limited and the demand is high. Groups barely get formed outside of teachers and even when you try to form one you usually end up pugging most of the players anyway to fill the rest of the group which means long wait times. Sometimes you can get one going but having everyones times line up so you can prog for hours is incredibly hard.

Finding a good guild that will actually help you and runs at times that line up with yours is also an incredibly stressful and tiresome task. I wish you the best on finding one because I still haven’t found the right one.

If you don’t find either a guild or static your play experience is going to be incredibly shit. Take it from me. All my friends quit and my static died because nobody wants to play this game anymore so I’m stuck pugging. Pugging in this game has to be the worst experience out of any MMO I have ever played. The requirements are wack, the demands are wack, the people you come across mostly seem angry, stressed or usually very rude, mistakes barely allowed, gatekeeping up the wazoo. It’s just not a pleasant experience and to top it off barely anyone stops to say gg or thank you at the end of a raid/group content. They just zone out after the rewards as fast as humanly possible. Feels like a zombie community that’s on auto-pilot toward an end goal tbh.

If you do find these you’ll have a good time. I was when I was in my static since I didn’t have to deal with the pug scene but now every week makes me want to quit sooner. I will probably quit if they don’t make changes to the game soon and if nothing to address the current issues is shown during the LOA ON presentation this year.

Many upcoming MMOs on the horizon even coming this year. Ain’t nobody going to stick around in this mess and continue to play in this environment. Best of luck khepera033.

Like region size is related in any way to the gatekeeping. Do you think people on EUW like to get jailed just because we’re smaller than other regions?

Irrelevant arguments again Tal.

what you said makes no sense

why 1460s can freely join vykas after artist release?
no one will gatekeep as hard late at night when you are 30 minutes + waiting for dps and then someone not so perfect applys, you will think twice rejecting him

ofcourse less supply - less gatekeeping, even euw player saying this

We rarely have any ‘late night’ lobbies. You either raid in the peak or not at all.
