Just a few more item level to 1415. Thats when you get access for the main content: Raids.
And thats when you will experience why is this game so unfriendly with beginners.
This is a good game, honestly. I mean the combat and raid is really top, but everything else will slowly feel a pain in the ******* and badly designed.
When as a beginner you want to join a raid.
When you will build your first 5x3.
When you need the first 7/7 stone.
When you will see toxic player in every third party.
When you see 100 bots fishing.
When you have to overhone for a content because nobody will invite you. (eg need 1475ilvl for Kakul raid, but nobody want to invite you on 1475 ilvl)
And I can continue this.
On 1355 ilvl you literally not even started the game. Seriously. Its like you just installed the game and now you will start it.
Enjoy the journey till it last.

The catch-up is fast enough that the game feels good at that point. I personally just spent 5k gold on a single item trying to get from 1447 to 1450 on my alt, and that’s without the fusion materials since I had them pre-made from SH throughout the week. It’s still not upgraded, BTW.
My criticism and frustration with Lost Ark since I first started complaining has bee consistent in the opposite way, actually. The only reason I am even on these forums, is that Lost Ark is the most love/hate game I have ever played.
I absolutely love the gameplay of my 4 primary characters.
The world, islands, sailing, some of the NPCs, etc…I’ve grown fond of.
There is some fantastic group content you can do with friends pretty easily.
However…there are things that make me absolutely hate the game as well.
Ultimately, vocal players won’t fight for a game that don’t care about. If I had nothing good to say about LoA, I’d have quit silently like many people likely wish I would do. Too bad for them…I love parts of LoA and am not gone quite yet.
Some game forums complain about balance and QoL; Lost Ark forum complains about fundamental problems with the game’s core progression.
There is a big difference, far as I’m concerned…and SG/AGS have apparently taken it seriously, but we’ll only actually find out after the roadmap.
It has less to do with “making sure we get new players” and more to do with "I hope Lost Ark becomes a game people want to stick with.
Your observation is not technically wrong, but if a game has flaws, it…well, it has flaws. No amount of ‘perception’ can fix that.
Sorry for skimming; the wall of text was a bit much and I wanted my reply to be even shorter than this. I’m also just venting that I lost 5k gold to a single bloody item on my alt…

Don’t listen to other ppl to tell u not to enjoy this game…
But keep in mind u only play 90 hours of an MMORPG.
No offence but everybody who sub 300 hours in a game is more than likely in honeymoon phase of a game, which means everybody is nearly 100% deluded in regard to actual perception.
More power to you to enjoy the game, but don’t disregard the opinion of vets when they have 3-4k hours + and you have 90.

Btw man, don’t look at other ppls opinion on whether u should play game or not ^^
Play a game if u like it, if u don’t, don’t play it 
I play games that are far more “dead” and have way more negative community than LAO (Soulworker, BnS, PSO2NGS, several niche gacha games), bcos i like them, couldn’t give two shits about what a youtuber says or ppl in the community say tbh
Hope u have fun, LAO does have some truly great content for a f2p game

U prefer we lie and say theres no bots and the game is fine? XD
I don’t blame you for not reading my entire post, it was really long so I will say again in short form for you:
Only Complaining = bad, Complaining + Appreciating = good
People do appreciate altho it is unnecessary, obviously theres good stuff abt the game or we wouldnt still be playing XD

Just a matter of time young padawan !!
from someone who did over 10 fails at 90% for honing t2 equip !
If you are starting from scratch, I’d only recommend to get to Argos, try it and see if you want to continue that loop. Because that’s all there is at end-game, just different raids.
Argos will give you an idea of the problems people mentioned a lot and I’m sure you seen a lot of when it come to raiding.
Now, if you want to save some time and have a wider experience, then use the current event to boost a character directly into 1445, then you can experience pretty much the end-game. Keep in mind with this, you will skip a lot of horizontal contents, etc.
There is still some time until other games release this year, so a bit of time sink into this isn’t bad. Do I recommend you to sink 100% effort & time into it? No, quit while you can.
Argos and Valtan are very fun ngl and perfect difficulty
the irony is u havent said 1 positive thing about the game other than “its a blast” and ur issue is tripods. Dont spoil it folks he got probs with tripods at fucking ilvl 1355!

See, this is exactly what I’m saying everyday. Stop complaining and just quit in silence if you don’t like the game. Why ruin it?
You’re totally right. Also, feel free to ignore the complaints and see for yourself. To me, it’s all about the mindset. If you like the challenge and enjoy the game content and/or feeling of accomplishment, no amount of gatekeeping or anything will stop you from playing.
An advice coming from a player who has 4k5 hours and still loves the game: run away from this forum
The game has these flaws but has 5 times more qualities. Except that on the forum, you will only find players in perdition who only see the negative sides.
Have fun, from laughter to tears, the game has so much to offer

I glad you enjoy the game as we do. We complainers on here …sorry some more than others …only complain because we demand and expect better…for all of us…otherwise why would we spend our precious hours of the day writing a comment on here. We love the game …we push it forward to excellence.
