Appreciate AGS taking the initiative to being the game to the US/EU, but the player base really needs some regular communication to build some faith with the community.
Eastern games have aomg history leaving western audiences high and dry… And the challenges of AGS other games don’t build confidence. People want to know their time and money spent won’t go unsupported.
New World team has started releasing videos and patch notes to bread crumb their audience and Lost Ark could benefit from the same.
P. S. Inability to solve bot issue quickly is generating a lack of confidence.
I’d personally like a way to convert the Bound Honing stones/shards up to the next tier.
I think having them roster bound may negatively impact the player market. Because i would never use the market to purchase them ever again lol
For example, lets say i have an additional 20k green shards left over each time im done leveling a character to 600, i would have 120k green shards left over from the base 6 character slots. Even if i had a 10 or even a 5 to 1 conversion rate (from green to blue shards) that’s still 12k or 24k blue shards respectively. That way theyre still useful past their current upgrade tier.
Not even going lie didn’t read it too many words, just writing cuz disagree with send them good vibes. Imagine how it feels when the KR side gets the notice , care and attention . While NA just raído silence. No disrespect to the director , he’s amazing guy, but both ASG and SG have done nothing to even attempt fix anything.
players would like to feel the same love and care that KLOA players receive from the director and devs teams. We want to mirror the great service provided by smilegates HQ.
If you’d like to leave a small motivating comment for Smilegate devs, the director or some of the AGS staff please do!
It would be an awesome surprise for them to see some support overall and lift their spirits! We need to remember that the people working behind the scenes are human too and as time goes by we learn and build off one another.
Glad to hear people supporting the game, I love that aspect.
I’ve played a lot of KR’s MMO’s that have released to the west and let me tell ya they did not giving a single care for us, they treated us like second class citizens. My apologies for being spectacle for thinking anything would change. The game is amazing nonetheless, f2p friend and the company seems to care a lot so I hope they can move foward in good direction, that benefit players and game.
Thanks so much for your input Blanc it means a lot!!
I can’t wait for the day that our concerns as a community are heard and addressed, I’m sure at the start it might be slow to progress, however because right now is in theory a low point, the best direction to go is up!
I will continue to pass on this feedback through every channel I’ve been able to network with and get visibility on it :).
I need the communities help to get the word out about this thread and get it up on a big LOA streamers radar so they can use their platforms to help our voices get heard that would be amazing!
As always everyone, keep it positive, we are all on this ship together and let’s make it sail!! We got this.
One thing I would really like to see is the original character customization options that were taken out of our version of the game. While I understand that this was done so that more diverse customization options could be made available for our western audience it would have been great if those new options were added on as additional options to what was originally available, instead of being added as replacement options. As an example of what I mean, a few of my friends have tried using character presets from other regions (KR for example) and it seems as though the presets do not work due to the actual facial/hair options being missing from our version of the game.

Thanks for the inclusion in the main post! I’ve updated mine to be a bit more concise, but also added a less concise edit with further ideas for how they could implement some help for those of us who need controllers to play. Also wanted to say thanks to you for posting and curating this thread for us, it’s a big help to the players, and hopefully to the AGS/SG staff.
You’re very welcome and thank you for putting so much effort into your feedback and suggestions!
