Maybe because its in the game and everyone knows how the class plays?
Is your brain not enough to think about the possibility some people has been playing this class for months or years by now?
Of course they can main any missing class, did you just forget you are playing a cheap version of this game, ruined by dumb western publishers.
That’s fine and those people can also play the character and not come to the forums to cry that they don’t get a free powerpass with their now expedited toon!
it’s the same game just made easy due to people crying that we had to work and grind for our stuff they cried and cried until AGS just handed us everything. so yeah I think my brain is enough to comprehend what you said and it’s also enough to know that you are wrong no matter how you word it!
Already did! Got a couple of power passes, considering getting a couple more while there is still a discount.
SEPTEMBER - PART 2
The second update in September will be the major content update, including a new Advanced Class, Legion Raid, and events. This update will also include some server merges.
^ this is what she was referring to… server merges.
Yes, have seen and corrected it in another thread,
It will come after the merges, so probably Oct/Nov. Thanks for pointing it out!
Because the raids we are getting all ready exist. It is nothing new.
The goal was to catch us up to KR which isn’t going to happen before the game “dies”.
We knew there wasn’t going to be one for Machinist, and knew since Arcanist was released.
Define “dies”. MMOs are measured in months to years. if people can’t handle that then they should not have gotten involved with MMOs type games. Sure the content “exists” already but they already tried the whole “FAST” track method already. Lemme refresh you incase your new. They released ARGOs and pretty much everyone and their mother got FOMO and cried P2W P2W so loud. SO they slowed the release down (which is STILL faster then KR). Like KR wasn’t in Argo’s 1 month after launch let alone being at CLOWN in 7 months.
The MAIN catch up happens when KR has content DROUGHTS that last for 6months or more. THAT is when the main form of catch up happens as the western release can cut that 6 month drought to 2-3 months instead. Anyone expecting the game to be equalized by the end of the year doesn’t know how things work. You can’t cut 3 years of content down to 9 months and ESPECIALLY when people cry foul when the general populace cannot keep up. Nor do you introduce essentially a complete skip of the content for the sake of keeping up as well.
And KR already has A LOT MORE raids then us already. What is it, 5 or 6 now (Kuku, bral normal at 1520, Bralshaza HM at 1560, Elgacia’s dungeons and now Akkan at 1600. Just because their 1650 ilvl cap isn’t that far from our 1575 cap, its actually pretty massive. Even the content jump from 1460 for ours at Vykas HM to Akkans 1600 might not seem like a lot but it actually is a TON of content. still. Were not even at one of KR’s main alt parking spots yet. Thats what 3 years of being delayed brings and we already shaved off what about a year and some change already in 7 months.

the raids exist and so did the express events.
You guys are really straw polling this stuff so hard its ridiculous. No one can explain the reason why every other facet of the game can be expedited except honing.
Hell they werent going to give us 1460 SH research with vykas until everyone complained about it, when the other regions got that as well.
The exception is money, which is fine- but stop acting like that isnt why. Lol
And then if the game does die, it’ll be because of shit like this, milking the playerbase for what its got instead of just building a playerbase that can last long term.
Skins, ark passes, etc are all things people are generally more than happy to throw money at but when you make people feel like they need to swipe to keep pace (Argos), they quit.
When people feel as if they are getting milked for the sake of milking they quit.
Ive been clown ready for months and I still think not having these express events with the intent to “catch up” to KR is the dumbest move yet
You’re just going to end up with the hand full of players who will swallow whatever AGS shits out
How about a paid express pass then?
I am tired of pushing from 1302/1370, it is just not fun.
which would lead to a much more significant number of powerpasses
How does that work if the same number of classes are released with the same number of passes? You don’t magically gain more from thin area. What is going on here LOL. The most blatantly blatant lie I’ve seen so far.
Can’t tell if straight up lying to player base or is delusional.
I agreed with this! That sentence from them never make sense for me. Why is it that NA/EU who trying to catch up to contents, have shorter time to upgardes and save materials, shouldn’t get a pass. But other regions who have more time to save and prepare should get a pass? Make no sense. And how is it that we would have more? It’s the same amount of class for all region? How are we gonna pull significant more number?
the gated classes and power passes is a bad move that will result in the loss of players and the grab of low new population cause the regular new player will not grab the class you are releasing and the average already playing person wont reroll or try the new class cause the story is not worth running again for the sake of a new class and using knowledge system is a loss in gold and time.
you want to increase the rooster so new players have more to choose from and for already experienced players to grab a new alt or to reroll a main.
at this point every class up to artist should be out and aeromancer should have been your winter announcement.
So AGS planned preemptively to not appreciate their playerbase? This is purely a market strategy to try and squeeze money from the playerbase, why else would AGS introduce paid passes and the growth pack while slowing down class releases so that any current event/pass ends before a new class releases, and refusing to release a free pass and event with each new class release.
This just feels like AGS is just straight up giving the middle finger to the playerbase.
I think from a business perspective holding out on classes can be a good strategy (even if we don’t like it) because it has the potential to be profitable. HOWEVER, the way the class releases are being handled is anything but good for business. They also dropped the ball hard on player retention, so we can conclude that the strategy has backfired.
All the white knights on here can get as emotional as they like, the numbers don’t lie. Yet, lost ark is probably still printing money for AGS and Smilegate, so we can expect they’ll ride this bitch like they stole it and let it crash and burn when it’s no longer profitable. These people aren’t passionate about gaming like you, I, and even the white knights. That will be the downfall of what otherwise is an ok game.
I expect these forums will become more useless as time goes on because the people left will be too financially or emotionally invested to generate an unbiased assessment of the situation. When someone would rather pay for a powerpass than get one with the class release… they just want to cling on to whatever shred of artificial superiority they can find in their otherwise pathetic existence.
First it isn’t AGS decision, they are NOT the game developers and any changes to the game and content is ultimately SG decision, even if AGS wants something to release if SG don’t agree it won’t happen.
Secondly, I too wanted the Destroyer power pass to be release as that is my main class, but it didn’t happen, so what I did was play the game and now I have my Destroyer at 1477, so if I was able to do that anyone who wishes can do the same with their Scouter.
You guys can’t pretend to have a power pass for every class release, that is just insane, start farming mats and gold so when scouter releases you all can push it to 1370, use your stronghold knowledge transfer and get it to Punika or buy power pass or just play.
So many options so stop already.
Because other regions are already on Brelshaza and beyond, so it would make sense new players can push to 1415 easily, we are not even on Kakul-Saydon yet, also content release is SG decision not AGS.
AGS not the game developer.
SG game developer.
what’s KR parking spots for alts? 1490?
