Predict The Future Of Lost Ark, 4 Months Out

  • Persistent white knights will still be roaming the forums to defend, ad nauseam, ASG and the game even as it is burning (much like NW)

Future?

People still saying "it’s not THAT bad…"

Bots are no longer an interference, they are a feature.

Cash-Shop is more Pay-to-Win than ever.

Whales are dominating GvG and the Market.

Seeing a legit player is like spotting a Unicorn.

Me still grinding for 1370.

i kid.

You dont get it. There is a reason why players quit, if 90%+ of the playerbase leaves so fast, it means there is something seriously not okay with a game. Ofc. “100k players are enough to keep this game alive” You are right, but it doesnt change fact there are still reason why peoples quited in first place. These “100k” (50% will be bots if nothing changes) are the ones that just doesnt care how garbage game become, how much p2w etc it is.

if they let us dye our fuking skin i am good for now. Everyone looks same jeez

  • Valtan and/or another legion raid is out, honing to be able to unlock it is locked behind an intentionally frustrating gambling system just like now for Argos, people that swipe watch guides and clear it in an hour
  • same players go right back to forums and cry how game is too easy, there’s no content, AGS sucks, Korean version is better etc etc
  • bots stay winning, maybe AGS will take the PUBG genius idea of fighting bots with their own bots. Cheaters completely destroyed PUBG so the developers had the bright idea to add their own brain-dead AI bots to fill lobbies from all the players that quit lmao. Bring on JeffyBard the loveable support for all your queueing needs.

ill predict the future, i can see myself still playing LA :v

Since for fun, please don’t take seriously:

  • AGS is fired by Smilegate, whom has decided to self publish
  • Since Smilegate doesn’t want to associate with the Streamers that Amazon sponsored, they look to other “Popular” streamers, knowing very little about the Western streamers
  • Hololive is pretty popular, maybe we’ll get some VTuber streamers to sponsor to bring players in?
  • Admiral Bahroo and Bunny. Gif are hired
  • All hell breaks loose, there is no god, final straw, everyone but the bots leave
  • The sun is going down and it’s cold, the last server light fades to black.

Edit: If you’ve seen the latest Twitch drama, I hope this gives a chuckle.

it’s not really bad, for a kmmo with that kind of system it will be fine.

make this a post lol. People need this dose of ice cold reality

+100

I mean, of all predictions, this is probably the most accurate.

Wouldn’t be the first time Korean Developer did that. Altus and Persona 5 Royale anyone?

Roadmap still under development.
Still checking data and have found most players are at 1400 so here an unreleased 1700 raid.
shop now has 3 skins per class but paladin has to wear sorcs for some reason.
12 people play to support the bots.


where u see 175k-200k peak at 24hr and 125k-150k current ? EU time btw

I just want dungeons and other fun things to not drop basically nothing or lock me out after my initial daily/weekly playthrough of said content.

Id like to grind for materials and gear without tedious lockouts. Heres my breakdown

Chaos dungeons - fun content but after the 2 daily runs its just too low of mats and anything else to even bother.

Abyss content - really fun and i wish that it wouldnt lock you out and maybe just have reduced drops. The gold lockout could still be a thing because idc about that.

Guardian raids - same as chaso dungeons except there is no point at all past the initial 2 a day…also some of these dights piss me off too much lol

World dungeons- these too should have better drops and should be farmable more than like once.

This games flaws are basically the reason i never play mobile phone games and starting to wonder why i am still playing lost ark atm.

If Legion Raids not out by then, I’m kind of disappointed and lost hope of catching up to Korea within the next few years. Other than that, hopefully it’s still enjoyable enough that I will still stick around.

In accordance with the adjusted roadmap, we can announce that our third class release will be coming with the September 15th patch! This means the Summoner will be returning from Beta next week.

The graphical bug darkening the Shadowhunter’s demon form is also slated to be fixed in this same patch. Transformation skins remain slated to release in NA/EU region in November.

Other good news:

The character slot limitation will be increased to a total of 18 (including the 6 initial slots) so those of you who held onto your slot tickets will be able to redeem them.

In response to player feedback, the minimum market listing price of an item will be changed to 0.01 gold. This better accords with the data on total gold in circulation.

The unintended interaction between the Mayhem engraving effect and hp potions is now resolved. (For sure this time.) Using a % health effect while your maximum health is reduced will now respect the updated numbers. Other effects that measure % health remain unchanged for now, but we are closely monitoring the data.
