So this is it from now on? Just new crappy raids that feed toxicity and gatekeeping? No new challenging and rewarding islands/ story content? Just bad raid mechanics?

yes

seems your brain got an “error_404” indeed, “crappy raids” :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:, just because you suck or can’t get the gear and everything right, doesn’t mean the raids are crappy, get a reality check :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

spoiler of sorts

they have found the last ark already and its only the beginning of the story

Ok good to know. Since I don’t follow any KR streamer and only read the patches I didn’t know that, that’s why I just guessed.

lost ark was dying raids are the things that brought people back and kept them to stay @Error_404

It was pumping with players…then the raids started.

I mean … It’s litteraly what the game is based on.

We never had any of this. Its always “do stupid chore for tokens and mats” from events or shallow as fuck islands that only make you get there for a shitty rng token,

that is false

the debacle of maple story made people come to lost ark

stop parrotting your favorite streamers

Rowen comes after Brel

ah! interesting opinion. I am quite critical but for some reason I really enjoy most of the islands. They tell cute little stories and have fun cut scenes.

What is the RPG part then? Is a raid the RPG part? Or is Lost Ark just a MMO?

yeah man, the gatekeeping and toxicity of the raids will downsize the population to 10- 20 k players. Mark my words. And I do not predict this with joy, I really love this game a lot.

The South Korean developers, are the ones who have the team that runs our version.
If you dont want to look at their version then dont, but this is what we get.

Yup, they did away with the idea of horizontal exploration and pretty much anything that isn’t just a more gimmicky legion raid from T3 onward.

LA will be do your daily homework, kill a weekly boss, sit in Punika and /sway.

All while the community gets more and more stringent and toxic towards anyone who might be a late starter or even new to the game and didn’t have half a year to practice.

Islands are literally generic extras, something you do on a side when you have nothing else to do in the game. No one cares about them for a reason, badly designed system, RNG slapped on most for the sake of dragging them out.

You’re playing a Korean game lil bro. The devs are SG, not Amazon.

NA/EU version is only less than 8months old. Translating and having it developed for NA/EU audience takes time. You dont just copy and paste it or have google translate to translate everything.

And if the NA/EU version disappointed you. You’ll be one of those who quit but not rememberred.

huh what does a mobile game have to do with this lmao, “parrotting” streamers huh what i said is what smilegate showed off in their own “loa on” stream that they do every 6 months for kr roadmaps, they showed numbers that more players came back and stayed after valtan release

The only thing ill ever agree with him on is the fact that people stayed because of what happend in Maplestory.

It was just luck legion raids were releasing at that time, and Smilegate didnt get overconfident and played their cards right, thus they maintained the playerbase that came.

The main reason people went on Lost Ark was maplestorys fiasco + they were still early into Season 2 so the game was getting a lot of updates.

Of course in public nobody from smilegate will tell you that.
