The feedback is appreciated – we will be sure to share it with the team for discussion
finally, we need a fix quick please, this is very sadening…
the fix is easy, just let T3 chaos dungeon gear to be sell able, it is in other regions, idk why it isn’t here
I got my last piece of chaos on the 3rd day, but this whole mechanic triggered me so much I’m still going to post about how dumb it is.
I can see the potential reasoning behind making the blue dungeon set items untradeable - as it would open a whole market for people selling them for the tripod bonuses, beyond just selling them for set completion. I’m not saying I agree here, especially since this is a Western exclusive design, so clearly it worked before.
However, if you’re going to restrict items like this from being traded for a specific reason, you then have to COMPENSATE for it by offering an alternative method of obtaining the gear. There are tons of different ways you could have done this:
- Add a one time purchase for each set item to the chaos currency vendor, so you can continue grinding towards them after expending your aura of resonance.
- Change the drop rates to guarantee at least one of each item, there are several ways this could be done
- Introduce an item exchange vendor, where you can trade any set piece for a different one. It doesn’t even need to be 1:1, we’d all be happy if we could do a 2:1 trade since many of us were/are sitting on like 6 pairs of pants, but naked from the waist up.
They’ve managed to double dip in failure here, they’ve both removed a system that wasn’t broken for an unknown reason, and neglected to replace it with something that respects the player’s time and commitment.
So far out of a dev post, and multiple ticket responses, I have seen nothing to suggest they are even thinking about this problem, as they haven’t even specifically mentioned that they VIEW it as a problem. “Thank you for your feedback” may as well come out of web cache for the New World forums.

Couldn’t agree more. I’d be fine if the blue items stayed untradeable as long as you could grind your way to an alternative source instead of being RNG timegated out of content that took a lot of effort to get to for 1-5 days. Had a guild member go 4 days without getting his final piece of gear and missed out on the weekly reset rewards because of it despite hitting T3 content 3 days before. Your suggestions are good ones and I don’t know why #1 and #3 weren’t obvious and easy solves. The systems were already in place, how hard would it be to add 6 items to the chaos currency vendor like you can already purchase jewelry…
EASY fix to this, make gear droppable at a low % chance after aura of resonance depletes. Makes the game playable and not just a HARD stop if you have bad luck for a day or two. But having the 1100 gate to unlock T3 story line followed by a hard gate if you don’t get your 1302 pieces is just extremely irritating.

Can’t agree more. Was blocked out of the T3 content because I’ve been missing a chest piece. Dude I don’t think you understand. Any other RNG mechanics is still playable because I can still grind for it. But what are you expecting from this? I have been blocked out of T3 guardians, Abyssal, Dailies, and even going into a secret map dungeon. You basically are asking me to take a day off from the game because there is no meaningful content at all during this transition phase. This may be an unintended consequence as you making the T3 untradable but you need to fix this! I m pretty sure there are players quitting the game because of this hard stop gatekeeping mechanics and there is basically 0 customer experience here.
I am hoping to see a solution in the next 18 hours though I know the chance is slim.

Single biggest wall I’ve hit in the game. This is an absolute travesty in game design, and has ruined the excitement I felt upon finally reaching t3. I’m now being met with having to wait a third day to play the tier of content I grinded so hard to be able to access, and have lost pretty much all motivation to do anything but log on and do my chaos dungeons to maybe get gear.
Like, come on. We all suffered through honing, we did everything in the game, and NOW we have to wait for the RNG gods to smile upon us in order to continue progressing at all? Send whoever implemented this back to the New World dev team, please.

Any update or anything? A friend and I are both stuck here. Both are missing one piece for no reason. What even is this crap?
only thing we can do is keep waiting unfortunately. closest i am to 1302 right now is 1279 ill get closer the more i + my 1302 gear i got so far but without that last piece dont think ill hit 1302 at all
I bet this might be the biggest reasons in end game why people want to stop playing this game.
Day 4. Still no weapon drop. What is this?
when the majority hits T3 they will fix it as a high priority.
Its really anoying, I did 4 chaos dungeons and still missing gloves, maybe Im lucky today, Its really sad cuz today is weekly reset and I missed a lot of stuff.
This is absolutely infuriating garbage game design
Typical bullshit response from Support. I’m cool with a couple of days of it. I’ll be on my 5th day tomorrow.
Me [10:26:44] : Issue: Lost Ark - In-game issues: Something Else
Me [10:26:55] : Hi Andres I hope you’re well
Andres [10:27:12] : Hello, my name is Andres. I’m here to help you today. Tell me are you contacting us about Lost Ark or New World?
Me [10:27:20] : Lost Ark
Andres [10:28:18] : Thank you, tell ne how may I help you today?
Me [10:29:03] : I’m stuck in limbo 4 days after finishing the Punika quest line. Unfortunately as items are not tradeable in T3 I cannot progress and have wasted four days of time not being able to play the game
Me [10:29:13] : My weapon has not dropped once from 8 Chaos dungeons
Me [10:29:23] : Yet I’ve had literally hundreds of other drops
Me [10:29:58] : Whilst I do appreciate there’s RNG based scenario at work here. Thats utterly insane
Andres [10:32:12] : Oh I see, sincere apologies but in this case I can confirm you the drops are or depend on drop rate. I do get the issue but this is not a bug or so. My advice would be to keep trying on this as there is not a known bug, if you have any proof I can report it but otherwise it seems you are not lucky with this…
Me [10:32:34] : There’s 115 posts on the forums with this
Me [10:32:41] : https://forums.playlostark.com/t/unable…(See full link)
Me [10:32:50] : Lucky is an understatement.
Me [10:33:33] : RU & KR have tradeable T3 loot. Yet we don’t? So you’re effectively telling me I can’t play your game until this piece of loot drops?
Andres [10:36:48] : In that case as there are reports the developers are aware but we do not have a way to solve it. again I can report it if marked as a bug, if it s on the forum the developers will work on that.
Me [10:38:04] : Clearly not as there’s no response.
Me [10:38:21] : Nothing from them since 21st Feb
Me [10:39:32] : Can you get them to look at this urgently. Or it isn’t just going to me putting in a ticket it’s going to be thousands of people complaining. This is a ridiculously idiotic system put in place.
Andres [10:42:52] : I will pass then the feedback to the team in charge I do not have an exact time for this as as you said and correctly we are handling thousands of requests but this will be updated on the forums, where we report this https://www.amazongames.com/en-us/suppo…(See full link) . Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you.

How is this useless comment the only support response in 11 days to all of the complaints/feedback on this thread… This is game breaking for many players, not simple feedback, and it makes the game practically unplayable for 24-hour intervals since you can’t make any valuable progress whatsoever on that character. There is so many simple solutions to this issue yet instead a major patch is dropped to nerf lower tier content instead of fixing an issue that’s causing players to get only 5-10 minutes of possible playtime per day to attempt their chaos dungeons before being halted by an idiotic RNG system… This should be a top priority fix.
