An Intellectual: Man this game sucks, it’s P2W af or you have to grind super long and the content is bare bones compared to 2022 games and it’s just straight up dumb. I’m quitting this trash.
The Lost Ark forum Whiteknight: WHAT’S YOUR VIRTUE LEVEL, IS IT NOT AT 500? YOU CAN’T TLAK THEN. WHAT’S YOUR MOKOK SEEDS? NOT 1K SEEDS? DON’T TLAK THEN. WHERES SKILLPOINTS? NOT MAXED. YEAH DONT TALK THEN. THIS GAME HAS MORE CONTENT THAN EVERY OTHE RGAME THAT EVER WAS CREATED.
This is more or less the type of energy these forums have.
When someone tells you they’re bored of the game’s leveling and honing, what on earth makes you think they want to spend additional hours of their day spamming G for roster quests, doing MORE time gated content like rapport or even farming skill points lmao
The horizontal progression in this game is like a cheap Samsung mobile game at best, it’s equally as uninspiring as the actual vertical progression itself of playing a slot machine to upgrade gear to unlock content.
I think if people complain the game is boring, the proper response should be this:
"Just quit, it’s not for you."
This simple phrase alone is powerful, it conveys all the Whiteknight emotions while simultaneously acknowledging that you’re too deeply embedded into this game to ever quit even if it reaches New World status.
More people need to adopt this strategy, I think it can save us a lot of debates on these forums.
I understand that not everyone likes the system of rapport, seeds and other activities besides dungeon. After all, people opinions are different but the game is built on that. You can’t expect it to not matter when it’s fundamental to the progression of the game.
And the people you called white knights, me also after this, are right. If you cannot withstand the system in LA then LA really is not for you.
I think this game will be super niche and maybe settle at like 10 - 30k players sort of like current New World which there’s nothing wrong with that at all.
Maybe updates will come 4+ months from now or whenever they decide to do release already released content and it’ll spike to like 60 - 70k players and I think even then people are going to be happy with it too.
Not every game has to be like 100k+ players, it can still be relatively successful for it’s niche audience in the West.
They say those things because they are all part of building your character. You get skill points, perm stats and other things from collectibles, rapport & the other game activities. Why run to the end, hone & complain when you are missing 200 int or strength because you didn’t play the game? Or missing 40 skill points making your spells weaker? They suggest it to try & help you see there is more to the game than rushing to 50 doing a raid and saying, “that’s it?”
For real and I don’t intend for this to sound mean but maybe this game isn’t for everyone. There are dozens of ‘get max lvl minmax sit in town on mount & complain’ games. LA is much more than that.
The game has a lot of horizontal content spamming G and not reading the story is someone’s own personal issue the islands quest a lot of people recommend to read the story lines they are actually good. There is tones of collectibles islands etc etc if you don’t like it quit the game isnt’t for you it’s that simple if you can’t make it past Tier 1
Lol you don’t even read the current post and have no idea what ur talking about 4 months from now ? They intend to get everyone caught up to Korea by in a years time i think 20k players lmao NW was a disaster cause its all copy paste no content broken back end etc
This is literally what 90% of the population does in LA.
Just because there’s other ways to progress doesn’t mean it’s going to be fun for people or make up for how lackluster the content is for people, that’s sort of the point.
I’d rather tell these people to quit than waste their time.
Bravo Well said, honestly just quit is what i’d tell people also!
Didn’t you see I said other activities? Or you just randomly pick one so that u can twist it to your liking?
Other activities give u skill points, stat potion etc isn’t that help your character?
Like I said if u don’t like it then don’t do it no one forces you to do it :3
I just arrived in Rohendel and I’ve liked the story so far. As far as mmo stories go this has been good and the reason behind it all (finding the ark) is good too. The side quests & mini side stories really help flesh out the world, the people, their motives. I don’t get the “story is trash” comments. I mean it’s not the best of the best but it surely isn’t the worst.
Low key Lost Ark story is trash but FF14 Realm Reborn is somehow on par if not worse, Jesus Christ that story literally killed their game and they had to completely remake it lmao.
That’s where people need to say to themselves “this game isn’t for me” and find something they like better. There are plenty of players worldwide who love LA just the way it is. Instead of trying to change it into a snorefest copy of the dozens of games we already have some players will have to move on if they don’t like it. Changing core game mechanics is not the answer. Players who like this type of game deserve one game they like too.
Well said, honestly just quit is what i’d tell people also!
