Hello LA!
Please understand that I love this game and I want it to thrive!
I wanted to give some feedback from my LA’s journey. I’ll start with my background. I’d 2500 hours in the game, six characters, four of which were my mains. All 4 cleared Brelshaza normal gate 6. And two were above 1415.
I’m not a free to play, I spent money on crystalline aura and some skins and mounts. And I enjoyed every moment untill around week 4 of Brelshaza, the community became strict and less forgiving. I get it, the fight is one hour long, punishing, and unfriendly to casuals.
I had a good guild, but they slowly started to play less and raid schedule wasn’t working any longer. I tried to switch to another guild, but I didn’t feel welcomed and decided to stop playing.
I hope and wish that developers consider the solo option, the moment you hit the required item level, you should be able to solo Legion Raids. No gems, no cards. no tripods. Gems, tri-pods and cards should be “extra damage” to make the raid go faster if you have them, and not required.
I believe having the option to play solo will fix some issues. Book prices will drop, players will complain less about the “gate keeping” problem.
I’m sure someone will reply with “it’s an mmo it shouldn’t be solo and easy”
- I said I wish for an option to solo.
- It shouldn’t be easy, but doable.
I’m aware that this might takes time to implement, but please consider it.
Just some feedback that I hope it will be implemented with the graphic overhaul and you can call it Lost Ark 2.0
Hopefully, having the option to solo will make new comers interested in staying. And I’ll gladly start playing again, this time solo, at my pace, no one to point fingers at, argue with, and complain at.
