My old boss tried that horses**t line of logic too. That we were a team, and in it together… blah blah blah. That’s never the truth. There’s always the people who make the decisions, and then make others obey those decisions. Or else.
The double middle fingers I showed to my boss’s face came as a surprise to him, but nobody else. Someone always makes the rules, and you know as well as I who that is.
Isn’t that already too late?.. If the heart stops, you can still try to reanimate it, shortly afterwards, it feels like Lost Ark just lies there cold and lifeless for quite a long time…
“Be patient”… “Soon”…“Soon”…“Soon”…
After the PvP system fiasco (not just the MMR problem, much more that an old frustrating system is being introduced, which is felt to be insufficient in KR and RU) the air is finally out (at least for me)… Even the frustration gives way to resignation… Either the Arcana will come on April 14th (the class I’m waiting for) or I’ll just let Lost Ark rest for a month (or 2-3 how long it will take), maybe even completely (the competition has become enormous, especially in 2022).
Of course, that’s just my opinion and point of view… But I have the feeling that your strategy with “soon” and you want to do it right is going too long. At some point you have to start resuscitation… Death doesn’t wait
(The resuscitation metaphor should clarify something, it remains a game…)
It’s sad because you’ve been waiting for the title “Lost Ark” for a long time…
We dont have enough content to warrant certain things within the KR version of the game. (Honing buffs, Bridge, Challenge abyss.)
We are missing heroic guardian raid though.
It’s not too late. Game is free to play. Youre welcome to leave and come back when it satisfies your personal agenda of the game.
It’s a dangerous mind game… We no longer have the early days of online games… The best example is Wildstar… Such a good game, but it had initial problems… and since there are enough other options, the game is dead .
I think Lost Ark is great in itself… Only at some point it doesn’t cover up the many small and big mistakes anymore…
It’s not about “if you don’t like it then just go”… the forum is about an exchange^^
I dont think the game will fall under what Wildstar’s issues were and cause the game to die.
I dont even think the game will die here in the West.
Were just reaching a period where people are realizing the fundamental repetitiveness this game actually is and realize its not for them, which is fine in my opinion. Every other region is like this too, which maybe a few extra weekly content to satisfy them. I will repeat: The game does not need to be westernized. People also need to realize this game isnt something you can no life to progress. Take 2 hours out of your day to play, log and do something else. Then youll feel less frustrated. Western players are so engrained on the thought process of putting in more time reflects progress in the game. Not with most KR MMOs since you are limited through dailies, weeklies, and weekly vendors.
We will get honing buffs, and other things later down the line when we have the content to back it up. There is no reason for T3 honing buffs at this time when we only have one end game raid and were sitting at least a month until the first Legion raid.
We may have misunderstood each other a bit :-)… I’m totally on your side in the aspects… The nerfs and requests for adjustments to the chance rate when upgrading are ridiculous… How long did it take me in WoW Classic because my item didn’t drop, months. That’s the concept of the game and I like that…
What bothers me are aspects like the PvP system where an old one is introduced which is considered insufficient… That classes people played in KR and RU will not be published here (or very very very VERY slowly)… If the game were new “ok” but many have already played it on the other servers…
Likewise, the way Amazon has been in New World is frustrating and shows a bit of the stubbornness to do their thing and not learn from previous online games and their mistakes and successes.
So you are saying that you don’t care about the feedback, nor are you considering what players are actually asking for? For example…
Instead we get the following:
It is not the consumers job to fix problems, it’s our job to recognize them and inform the creators.
Still no roadmap, they need to at least say something literally TODAY.
The crappy honing system is what is killing this game the fastest in the west (NA).
Getting 15 straight gear hone fails in a row in T2 feels terrible. And then it quadruples in T3.
I get Amazon wants to make it’s money back after spending however much getting it localized for NA, but still… this is ridiculous.
Founder’s packs? Yeah, nothing special. Those founders packs should’ve given us T2 & T3 honing materials to save for later. Especially since those materials are a “gold” grab in the shop anyway.
This game is going to die fast if AGS and SmileGate don’t step up and realize NA doesn’t do things the same way Korea does.
Yikes.
Get a hold of yourself OP.
Reread what you wrote. You were totally all like:
“The whole game is going to be RUINED and never be saved…Unless you do exactly what I say”
Keep laying out those hard truths, Chicken Little.
Yeah. I wouldn’t be holding my breath on that.
I expect something tomorrow, though… APRIL FOOLS!
Who’s ready for an April and May roadmap in June??
It’s really not hence the title of this post. Smilegate would do better responding at this point than Amazon would.
Don’t worry. They will be sure to rename it “August and September Roadmap” by then.
wish lost ark would have just released korean version to us. no one wants to play old patches.
You would not want that. There is some screw up in term of how the game was manage during Argos Patch, but I definitely believe Amazon is working hard with Smilegate to fix this.
Since this is a new game in EU and NA, there are thing that they are implementing now in the game so the game won’t suffer the same issue in the Korea version. If you do play the Korea version the honing rate are even worst than the NA version post Valtan and each honing cost per gear is at least 14k gold due to inflation. I think the mess up part was just unrelease classes and skins.
If people complaint about honing rate, wait until you start to hone post Vykas. It is even worse…
Lost Ark Na will be on part with Korea just Trust Amazon and SG.
agreed, I mean crying about skins ffs, especially when several were released in the past 2 weeks
This “Korea has harder honing” argument is really bad, because I know its true that its difficult to enchant your gear later on, but there’s so much stuff to do in the game with legion raids you get more gear and more engravings and you get better gear sets so you don’t feel like a snail like we do now, so most content you do the in the game just feels smooth and better to grind, you’ll be taking your time to enchant while at least enjoying the grind.
Most classes in the game at the moment feel unbalanced because we already have the KR balance update which is balanced around end game engravings and gear sets, that’s why classes like Wardancer and Striker just feel incomplete to play at the moment.
