They have a problem with the service being provided, not the game itself that’s still a valid complaint. Especially when it impacts other games and communities they are part of.
My 2 cents, it’s not a bad game at all, the legion raids are some of the best encounters I’ve ever done especially Clown and Brel. However the management and communication are absolute dog shit.
Wouldnt have happened if AGS was a competent publisher, if people didn’t put those reviews i’m 100% confident this issue would’ve been dragged way longer than it is now.
Reviews are the only tool people have to fight for quality products in the game industry so try use your brain before typing bs.
I would complain with the Goverment if i somewhat get charged with a Recent Robery, when i didnt enter the store in a year.
Even if the charges are cleared, everyone would still thinks that you are a delinquent.
I have no idea why people here argue for any nonsense like the diference betwen Game and and VAC Ban, is the same shit at the end of the day.
But they are having issues with the product?? What else do you think this is an issue with? The publisher of Lost Ark, wrongfully banned the (former) players of Lost Ark. Therefore Lost Ark gets a bad review… It’s really not hard to understand. Should they be leaving a bad review for some other game instead? When this is the game they got banned from and have a ban record because of?
imagine still shilling for ags after all thoses huge fail 
i rly hope ppl like borbarad are paid by amazon or it would be way too sad .
The thing is though mistakes happen all the time everywhere
And the first thing people do when they see a game ban for a game they haven’t played in a year
Is just go straight to anger and outrage mode while frothing at the mouth over something you haven’t played in a year
Instead of using critical thinking for 2 minutes and just putting in a ticket to get it reversed, then doing something if no action was done
People are so fueled by outrage anytime something slightly bad happens so they go straight to being outraged instead of thinking things through
Don’t get me wrong, AGS fucked up, big time
But once they realized their fuck up tried to fix it as soon as they realized (which surprisingly was quicker than I thought, especially on a weekend)
This outrage would be warranted if not only AGS did nothing for like a week, but said “yeah we’re not changing it, deal with it”
Yet people are acting like this ban was there for weeks when in reality it was hours
It just doesn’t help your cause when people really look at it from afar and screams “this looks like prior review boming attempts, including those positive ones”
So you dont play the game and you enjoyed the game when you played it.
You stopped playing the game. You get banned after half a year.
You cant make a bad review of the game. You dont mind the game, you mind the ban.
Think, Think.
Critical thinking ? Hell nah fam, straight down to BAD REVIEW lol
Very annoying right now…
Having some friends that still plays this pay-to-win grindfest with more frustating grind than titties on characters I check every now and then what’s going on. This is what I think about the latest news:
ha
ha
HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
Hilarious.
Another mistake added to the growing list of mistakes… let’s see if they admit fault and provide people the compensation for loss of time.
I’d like remind you all that in the latest “celebration” from the developers they pretty much ignored anything related to western players. that’s how much they care I suppose.
No. They didn’t mention anything related to any region other than Kr. It has literally nothing to do with the west as the west is AGS’s responsibility and not theirs… A regional game publisher is the de facto dev of the game for their region. They have all the power of a dev when it comes to decision making for their region, it’s just that in the case of AGS, without a team working on the game, they make decisions and Kr does the work…
Please explain one simple thing. Where should the banned people leave a bad review in your opinion? Black Desert Online? Call of Duty? Counterstrike? New World? Guild Wars 2?
There is no logical alternative to Lost Ark’s Steam. And so that’s where the bad reviews go. No need to reply, you’re welcome. Your time is better spent elsewhere, like on polishing that shiny white knight armor you got from Amazon.
Tha it was Korean centric and should have addressed also to western players has been discussed and confirmed by both Stoopz and Zeals. no real point of discussing here nor defending either party.
It’s Korean centric, there is no discussion. The opinions of 2 players with cameras and cults change nothing. Kr doesn’t need to cater to the west in any way, it’s not their responsibility.
As stated, there is nothing to discuss, point finale. I don’t need to defend anyone, you just need to understand that Kr handles Kr and AGS handles their version.
Go get the definition of Publisher and Developer as well as how outsourcing a product or service work. Both Smilegate and AGS have to actually work in harmony together and is a joint effort, and are both mutually responsible.
Your statements strongly defend Korean way of creating and handling games, which numbers says it is not really working (sadly).
Still suggested that “it would be great if they could sue AGS for it”
I mean you might be annoyed
But you still said it
shrug
Buddy, what you think a publisher does is not what they do. A regional publisher is the de facto dev of their version of the game. Don’t post ignorant opinions where facts are necessary and educate yourself on what a publisher’s responsibilities are from the definitive career site used worldwide.
Saying that Kr should handle their version and AGs handle theirs strongly defends what exactly? Can you elaborate on what I am defending and how? It seems to me that you may be confused.
Hehe AGS was like how do we get them to stop talking bout Artist being delayed/censored. 
Game publishers are typically large companies that use their resources to finance, support, market and distribute video games. The specific duties of the publisher may vary depending on the type of company it is and the relationship it has with external developers.
This is what your link says. It does not include fundamentally code and develop the game. They do not create the upgrading system, nor the mechanics for the raids.
The defense is that Korean should do Korean things and forget about their international audience. When instead they should account that they have (soon had) an active and large playerbase that interact with their product so yes it should be their interest to adapt to newer audience and retain them.
Seems to me that you do not quite grasp the fact that Smilegate has a product that reflects local audience and did not sufficiently adapted the game for external audience.
Reponsibility of Smilegate are the tedious grinding system, punishing mechanics that wype raid, gatekeeping because of not perfect gear, pheons, balance updates, creation of new classes and so on.
Garbage servers, disconnections, bots, community. This is AGS field.
Whenever AGS says “we did X” remember that there is between the lines “because Smilegate approved and allowed us to do so”. This is how outsourcing of services works, in general terms, and for GaaS as well.
You like not to be addressed from Game Creators during their yearly conventions? please keep in mind that then certain frustrating elements will not disappear.
