Secret Dungeons (maps) Bugged? Too Easy?

General Discussion General Discussion

I am curious if those things are bugged or it was created for korean playerbase where they just want to get it done with the least effort possible. Basically AFK content.

Like Chaos Dungeons or Chaos Gate are. First one is only place where you can use AoE skills and make them relevant, other one is just run with the crowd and pop few buttons with no thinking.

Why not make Secret Maps work like “Click to open to receive rewards” ? Why do we have to force socializing aspect to type "LFG [Secret Dungeon Map Rift Light] " in area chat?

Why do we have to waste time on another loading screen and go through level 1 monsters and kill boss in 1 skill to get honing materials as rewards?

What is this kind of content we get here? Can’t it be more fun or harder?

Yeah I want another daily to take up time :clown_face:

Yes. Finally, someone said it. I want to spend at least an hour just to get mats. I don’t need to do real life things. I want to be in a metaverse, not the one made by lizard people, but with the one by the korean golden god.

Best part of Lost Ark: Combat Mechanics
The things players try to avoid at all costs: Combat

Most people only gear up just to outlevel the content, so they wont actually have to deal with combat.

If you like the combat so much, go do infinite chaos dungeons.

Nothing is stopping you.

There is no reason to add another chore.

Thats why I would like to open the Secret maps and got rewards right away.

Why go through the braindead dungeon to waste even more time?

8

What if you could get more rewards that scales with players and make it infinite but also fun and challenging?

Why only Legion Raids should be most challenging , fun and rewarding activity in Lost Ark?

Why not improve upon Legion Commander Raids? And add more varied content designed that way.

It could become the biggest player retention since legion raids ! Think !

Because it is an Asian centric “MMO” where the primary demographic is a playerbase that doesn’t believe in platitudes like “work life balance” and since in Korea, more than 25% of the playerbase of Lost Ark are adults over 40 with careers, the content will not be content that is for nolifing basement dwellers.

If you wanted an active endless grind ARPG play something else.

10

But they have like multiple alts and doing multiple chaos dungeon runs and guardians per day?

You mean doing 10 chaos dungeon runs per day was made for adults over 40yo with careers and families?

How does it even compare to nolifing or saving precious time?

Why not make 1 dungeon to be like worth 2 runs ? Why run it 2x times and waste time?

man thinks every single person on KR has 24 characters lmao

‘Go play something else’ is something players often hear about, and guess what? They DO.

There are even people to this day on New World forums still say that :joy:

Hell I think I saw someone telling others to ‘go play something else’ in an 11 year old MMO with 300 people left, with few active forum threads that mostly talk about how to bring back players.

13

This is not a defense of Lost Ark or a condescending usual “go play something else”.

It is literally a statement of go play something else.

This is all you will get. It is standard for the genre and unless you plan to ship millions of dollars to the Korean game industry to tell them you want something different, your opinion is worthless.

14

Korean players spend more than you ever will on this game. There is a reason if you watch the Korean streamers, they will tell you the economies of the Korean servers fluctuate heavily at the beginning of every month because that is when the credit card spending limits reset.

Don’t talk again until you understand the KR game industry because you are otherwise a waste of time.

15

Dont speak as if you are the only one who plays KR MMOs. I have been playing them since 90s. I am not sure if you were even born back then. KR MMOs never had an issue with challenging & rewarding combat.

Those maps are things left in the game from its early development time (heck you even get them in very low lvl content way before lvl50) and devs never got the priority to polish them up.

At this point, maps not instantly dropping the rewards is just stupid design flaw that was introduced in very early stages of LA and forgotten. Alternatively they could lead to actually challenging and more rewarding fights.

16

To disguise that it’s just a time sink with no real gameplay.

17

Secret dungeons are basically loot pinatas, not meant to be hard it’s a reward

18

that is why we need to make this a button smashing game, most players want that

19

Can we make that for chaos dungeon, chaos gate and field boss also? I like to just click a button and I got my daily chaos dungeon mats. Come to think of it, can that apply to a lot other things, I want to one click loot everything please

Thank you, this explains all.

But instead you get called out to look for different game or “le dont waste my time more”

Lets hope in Lost Ark 3.0 will get more revamps to older systems, as many of those feel outdated.
