Don’t mind him. He’s the type of person that will leave the game three months from now because he can’t stomach honing failures at sub 5%

3 Months?
I love your Optimism! 
Nah there won’t be 5% upgrade rates, they will be way higher. 90% of the playerbase will find that repulsing in their own respective progression.
#sarcasm ends right here
It will happen. They’re already at 20% in T3 if you’re that far ahead. The way it will work is the following:
Super lose chances, though with new content it will be raised to speed people up on par. But current content will be disgustingly low. Not thinking this to be the case is being naive. This will be the case, i’m sorry to break it to you.
THOUGH, i should add: It won’t be as bad for as long UNTIL we’ve caught up to KR… At that point, yes. enjoy your time in gridlock for months.
Argos gear i.e 1370+ is when it get’s disgusting 
Sry edited my post to be more clear about my intentions
most of the people are not even trying to learn mech for t1 and 2 content. which is kinda strange tho. i mean you see that there is boss with whipe mech and you think the higher content wont have it? 
Makes more sense, though it’s sad that it will end up being the truth at the end of the day ^^ The day i hit a 1% honing success it the day i buy a lottery ticket.
T3 content actually have better indicators whether something is threatening or not. It’s easier to learn the game at T3 as opposed to T1/T2. Though that’s my opinion and it may be a bit based. I still strongly believe this to be the case.

I saw the comments in here, boy some of you have an bad attitude.
I’ll tell you what my opinion of ‘the problem’ is from a new player perspective and I’m not sure nerfing is the answer.
I stomped though everything in the game up until Tytalos just by dodging and keeping out of the red marks on the floor. Pretty easy stuff, mostly. All of a sudden, with no warning or explanation in game, everything changes. No more red marks on the floor, now there’s debuffs and a host of other things that kill you. No warnings of this or explanation, no build up, apparently you should have watched a youtube video on how to do this, and you should have known this before entering, somehow.

I am actually hyped to try that too xD
Let’s be real… Once they change that part of the game to a point it becomes a cakewalk I’m probably out. (T3 in generell)
Koreans nerfed and balanced it over the years to a point they seem fit. Honing, Raids and all the great things awaiting us in the upcoming content. Once they change that drastically it won’t be the game in awaited since i’ve seen the first trailer in 2012, i guess. And yeah thats also just an opinion.
Yeah visuals and tells in t1/t2 are the real problem that keep people out of progression.
I read all those comments about nerfing , P2W things in this game and its hillarious.
It just shows how ignorant , lazy and REFUSING TO THINK or even use things that are given to you (grenades, panacea etc) or even hints that pop up in the middle of fight to make it easier for you to progress through those boss fights which are even made in such way to actually help you learn for the actuall hard conent that will be added later its just funny.
Just like in real life in those games its the same
Only those who work hard , think, learn , look for solution , improve themselfs in order to progress and achieve something are at the top and keep going forward
And then we have those who dont want to do any of that and they just want things given to them
The data of only 10% that completed is a VERY sad truth of how remaining % people dont try to improve themselfs at all.
So its always in my opinion not the problem with the games being hard but with people not willing to even try improving themself or think a little because those games are designed for you to win
Small nerfs will not solve the problem for such people good example is WoW lfr in my opinion because I remember how such people were able to wipe on boss that had like 90% of his abilities turned off he was literally a target dummy with 1 mechanic and that also received nerf so yeeee… gl

There technically are guides to tell you about these mechanics through ingame guides, etc. Though most people skipped those and again is one of the reasons as to why T1/T2 is considered “bad” content.
its takes 3-5 minutes to watch vid about tytalos. there are even ppl selling raid runs , cuz its hard to spend 3-5 mins to know what actually you must do in the fight
I know, I died and then watched one. My point is up until that point you don’t need to and until you go in and waste everyone else’s time learning this, you have no idea it’s coming.
You get clapped, you live, you learn. Realizing that what you were doing was wrong is the first step into looking for solutions. These types of games don’t usually give you a very straightforward “Correct vs. wrong” approach like western games. Skipping tooltips of items is the biggest mistake western people do when getting into Lost Ark.

I should add, that I can almost guarantee that the majority here has not even begun to think to use the training dummy (taunter) for guardian raids. The amount of mechanics you can skip with this alone will become a valuable lesson to master down the line
Personally i always thought that it comes natural to invest time and effort into a game or activity you love or at least like…
I wonder how games like the Souls series that throw you under the bus became so popular regarding some of the opinions how accessable games should be.
True and wrong. The best example for this is Elden Ring. Massive, explosive growth at launch. Laughably large drop-off in playerbase - one of the biggest out of any souls-game ever to date. They got a strong audience, though “here, have a world” approach is very niché as proven with that game
