Have spent over 3k hours in this amazing game. Would have quit a long time ago if it hadn’t been for the rest bonus on Chaos Dungeons / Guardian Raids and Unas tasks. We can take advantage of rest bonus to sacrifice some gains for less time commitment.
Please implement this concept in Legion Raids as well!
Legion raids are the best thing about Lost Ark in my opinion. But 18 raids on 6 gold earning characters is very grindy and causing massive player fatigue.
You have already created the perfect system in game to help reduce player fatigue. Implement rest on the legion raids just like all other repetitive tasks in game. This gives players another option to play the game. Lets the existing hardcore players continue their min-max grind for max rewards. But gives casual players and players experiencing fatigue an option to continue enjoying this great game at a different pace.
Please consider this as a great solution already in the game that you can take advantage of to relive pressure from players and entice a more casual new players to come enjoy.
you doing 18 raids on 6 characters cus you want the gold, rest bonus wont help you since you will lose gold from the rest bonus and you wont run rested if it was implemented cus if you would run rested you would just drop a character or two since it would be the same effect gold wise.
exactly- you doing stuff in lost ark because you want something from it- like progressing your roster, and the best efficient way to do so is to farm gold as its the most valuable ressource ingame.
so this is your priority #1 (for majority of players i guess).
therefore you ask yourself which sources give gold- raids, una’s weekly completion, gr, cd (gems), etc. and you work on your priority list, by doing time efficient stuff first or stuff, which gives the most value, regardless of time (e.g. running brel gate 3-6 for extra gold, although its not time efficient).
so for example, if 1 char at 1560 is able to earn 4500 vykas + 4500 kakul + 10500 brel = 19500 gold per week, a rested bonus would give 66% = 13000 gold per week.
so instead of implementing rested bonus, you could also just run vykas+kakul+brel gate 1+2 for 14000 gold, or just on 4 chars instead of all 6 (6x 19500=117000 - 6x13000=78000 = 39000 diff; 2x 19500 = 39000).
i think the main problem is the fomo tought - if there is the possibility to run 6 chars, or having a roster of 24 or to run daily gr/cd 2x, then people think they have to do it all, otherwise they wont catch up or lose something. but this is not sg’s fault.
theoretically, you could also have the fomo tought by not running endless cd after the first 2 per day.
