Hello everybody!

I wrote this in another thread:

Usually I’m a one game guy and this week I spent more time in FF14 than LA because I did the daily stuff with my Gunlancer and switched games (I don’t like my alts and have stopped playing them) This doesn’t bode well for my unhealthy relationship with this game.
So I’m seriously contemplating quitting Lost Ark and waiting for new stuff to come out. But this also never works for me because once I quit, I’m done for good. And I reeeaally want to see what comes next.
So I’m sitting here, pondering over quitting the game or suffering through another couple of weeks hoping for betterment on the part of AGS/SG. And hope is fading by the minute.

As you can see, I’m facing a decision and I bet some of you guys and gals do too.

My journey started on Asta during head start with some friends. We choose Asta because they are German and wanted to play with German speaking folks. Well, you know what happened on EU servers and we made the switch to Punika when the second EU cluster opened. Again because German. My friends left, EUC felt empty so I switched again. This time I started on Kadan, awesome server. So 3 founders packs and 3 starter packs were lost but my new journey began. For the third time… I didn’t mind, I had fun every time. I even managed to buy a Cerberus and the founders armor for my Gunlancer on Kadan.
I love my Gunlancer to the point that I don’t enjoy other classes anymore and I have stopped playing them. I feel good logging in and jump into daily content but when I’m done, I feel disappointed because it makes no sense to play my Gunlancer anymore.
My itemlevel is a bit short of 1370 and to be honest, I don’t care. I feel like I’m progressing slowly but I don’t feel like I’m missing out since there is nothing to do except for the goat. So 15 minutes of raiding a week is not going to satisfy my need to run against a brick wall… again and again and again until it cracks.
I enjoy side content, completing adventure tomes and collecting mokoko seeds is fine. Blackfang is standing in my stronghold and I’m a couple of pirate coins shy of the Astray.
Mounts, outfits, pets… that’s the stuff I crave. But there is barely anything to earn (or buy) in the game.

I wish I could tell myself it gets more enjoyable but the longer the wait, the bleaker the outlook.

If you feel the same, let’s mourn together. Or maybe enjoy some similar stories and hopefully reach the right decision for ourselves :slight_smile:

It’s sort of a landmark moment in history though. Amazon really can penetrate every single market besides gaming. It proves that the games business has openly rejected their bid as both a developer and a publisher.

—fast forward past numerous failed projects—

They make temporary profit: a game about puritans and get a lot of shade for using the slave era so they’re RUL WORRIED about that controversy… so they, and you cannot make this shit up, buy rights to a KMMO Coomer game. Just reskin it guys! to look more, uh puritanical. it’s quite the spectacle.

This is the games market saying no to Amazon, repeatedly. Hopefully someone writes a book from the inside someday.

No, no, no. Please for the love of God, stay in your lane as internet Walmart. Leave games alone. The industry has enough enormous shitty bullies. Consumers are speaking, it’s why the AGS fucking CFO and recently, CEO left.

AGS is a five billion dollar trainwreck and counting and Amazon won’t stop trying to hone it into achieving marginal ROI. Wave at history, we’re living in it.

1375 Gunlancer here, the only content that is fun on my Gunlancer are abyss raids, but with the weekly lockout+the ilvl limitations, the only option is to make more Gunlancers, which no one wants to do. T3 is so boring, easy, and unrewarding. Honestly that’s not even the worst part. What really bogs me down is how much this is reminding me of Maplestory Reboot, endless botting and rampant cheating in both PvE and PvP. With the more effort being put into squelching their player base, rather than actually solving these issues.

Maybe, just maybe if the game was more of an MMO I would be able to stomach it for longer. There just isn’t anything in the game that slows you down enough or forces you to communicate. The closest I came to that was pre-nerf Tytalos, where in which I was 3-manning with two other players who were new to the fight.

I feel like this is fitting to the topic:
