The fact that other servers have it way better than us pisses me off the most,now i could understand slowing down the process of progression in the first month to create a competitive enviroment and reward those who play a lot , but now that time is over and its time to make the game more f2p friendly,i can’t wait for the next update/roadmap i belive that will be the breaking point for a lot of people making them to quit the game,because if the update dosen’t offer players a chance to reach content then this game has no future in the west. Sitting currently at T3 1325 and having 3 T2 Alts and even if i get all those alts to T3 I feel like i won’t be able to do any content that matters.
If this game is ment to be played on multiple alts , which i belive is quite fun , i don’t understand why most upgrade materials are bound to character and not BOUND TO ROSTER.
Because we are getting a Fast tracked version of the game. At this stage we shouldn’t even have T3. But because the Western gamer likes to rush to be the most powerful the quickest they did that even tho the Content for real progression hasn’t even launched yet. There are heaps of other ways to get materials but they will come over time and as the players improve it will be easier. At this stage for the majority it seems Abyssal Dungeons and Guardians are still too hard. But given time people will learn to play the game and gathering will be more efficient with more sources…
A winning concept is 90% of progression & stuff being available for a free player with only aura. The aura is a way to get money for development and maintenance. Then sell aesthetics to players in loads.
The ammount of selling on all sides of the game at the same time quickly adds up and is a little bit aggressive with 80% of the QOL things being locked behind paying for it. I think this should be reduced somewhat. 80% of the QOL should be aimed at the normal players with just the Aura. A further 20% and millions of cool things and epic skins should be available to further give you money. This way people will stay longer in the game and pay longer in the game.
Playing without the QoL paymentgated stuff is difficult in this game’s current state. Thus I recommend for future QoL to be to all players or players with aura and a focus on appearancechanging things behind payments. This is a proved concept that we see works around the gaming world.
‘They will come over time’ well that’s the problem how much time and patience testing until they release those methods,well the roadmap will for sure clear every misunderstanding whether the game is going into the right or wrong direction.
Nothing to do with East vs West. Korea didn’t like the paywall/grind wall either when it still existed in their version.
Which is being fast tracked we are skipping alot of it.
Ain’t nobody skipping 1325-1370 zone without paying money or investing 20h a day of playtime in the most efficient way,since the resources in T3 are scarce and the honing rates are way too low compared to other servers.
I don’t think you understand we are skipping the major deadzones T1 to T2 to T3.
T3 is a deadzone due to it was the End goal for players. Content will come but the majority won’t reach that high because they are content locked like you see in MMOs… However we can get that stuff quicker than waiting 6 months plus for the big updates like Korea did. With Argos coming to start the Real T3 content and then alot more coming after it. T3 will get fleshed out but at this point it is meant to be the end goal of just getting to 1340-1370.
Well i do very much hope so we get content for T3 and they push this as fast as possible because the more i look at steam numbers the lower they get every day , you are right with the skipping part in T1 - T2 due to islands and that’s a very good thing now only if they could introduce those increased t3 honing success rates.
That is normal for MMOs the Prime of them has died off. Even Look at New World the game is still enjoyable and entertaining but alot of the players has left OCE had like 12 servers and now we are down to like 1 but that is the Hype Trainers and the casual players stopping. While the people who will stick around stay. You see it in all new games the first month or 2 will be crazy then they die off as Content creators leave and their communities follow. I’m sure we will see some Server Merges for Lost Ark in the future already some servers are impossible to progress due to being dead since they were only made when the main ones were locked.
you saying that wont stop the players from quitting the game.
Its not meant to players always do this to games they will play for a bit then quit. You see it with everything there is no way to stop people with short attention spans. Your target market is the people with the long ones who will stay longterm and not just play the game of the week or month. Or follow their fave Creator till they quit.
bro, you really think someone who plays the game 400-500 hours in the first month intend to play a bit to quit it? you are delusional and white knighting for reasons nobody knows
That is normal people binge a game then quit because they rushed all the content. That is modern gamers. Like in 10 days Tiny Tina’s will launch and I am probs going to binge 500 hours atleast then drop it till the expansion launches like all Borderlands games. You play for the content then drop it till there is something new to do. Or you take it slow and play casually to keep a steady stream of content.
Example for New World I’ve taken it slow still hundreds of hours left to play and it will last the dead periods around games you rush like Lost Ark.
No you don’t get it , the problem is the content is hard locked over a paywall that 99% of F2P players / even low P2W players can’t reach and it is very concerning over the direction of the game.
you’re still wrong. the issue is we are pay or grind walled (whatever you want to call it) to even get to all the content. i don’t understand why people like you don’t acknowledge this - like it’s “our” fault to play as we want to play. it blows my mind.
once you’ll get to the same point you maybe see the issue that you’ll never be able to reach valtos if they repeat the same shit
THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE SPAMMED ALL OVER THE FORUMS
I agree and it feels like people kinda ignore it for the moment , but it would improve the QoL so much.
exactly my main is at 1340 gs and i still have sooo many t1 -t2 materials left like wtf just let me share them with alts srsly wth
todays hotfix told us that they don’t want care about this while influencers with insane reach create videos like those. it looks really bad boys
