what are you talking about, that not how you’re supposed to play LA. 
1 - queue for daily chaos & guardians
2 - fail honing while not using moon’s breath
3 - log out
4 - watch asmongold telling how the game is p2w and how its the whale’s fault his life is miserable
5 - log in forum
5b - create new account if the old one got suspended
6 - write a new post about how everything is AGS fault
6b - or write a new post about how AGS tries to shut you off
stop overacting, a lot were bots, a lot came to try the game cause it was free… lol
Have you seen how many bots have been around? You can’t really draw a conclusion from that lol. I mean even i stopped playing and decided to come back in a couple months to see if they fixed the botting problem and i usually put up with basically anything.
Meanwhile Rich Campbell of OTK (the same steamer group) dropped like $10,000 because he wanted to go right from 1302 to 1370 and not touch the content in between.
Then everyone laughed at him getting wrecked by Orelahs well Normal Mode.
Not sure why people are surprised by this. It will only end up like new world.
so you say settle for less than the full game experience i just want to get that part correct. you say live with what they give you and your sol. here is the thing if you want to experience the game, then you should be able to not hit a pay wall or 3 month grind for something that isnt even end game. i get it if we are talking about the very top tier taking a while, no objection to that. what we are actually talking about a mid tier wall designed to make people quit the game or pay ridiculous amounts of money to get past or take a a stupid amount of time for something that is not even end game content. DO YOU GET THAT? this is a mid tier wall t1 t2 is nothing few days to get past then to get 1340 nothing then a month or more of grinding stupid chaos dungeons and guardians on repeat for a month or more depending upon luck to get past that ridiculous wall and thats ok by you based on your answers here. players like you are why other quit, so congrats on that.
already is starting to be like new world. watch the pop die off in next few weeks at a alarming rate then we will hear about merges.
ppl are literally leaving because they dont get everything right now. This mmo is korean style mmo what needs grinding and you just need to repeat same things everyday.
Argos have been up now a week… a freaking week and ppl are crying “we cant do argos, waaaaaaaa i quit” when it was originally desingned to take 2-4 weeks even to get there.
Not mention that most of the cry babyes dont even do things correctly. You could be on 1370 atm if you do things right and here is what most of the cry babyes wont do; Dont want to play alts, (even when its designed to be that way) think its enough to play 1-2h a day, dont literally do anything effectively (collecting whole day moko’s or something not that usefull atm) and not trying to make gold, and yes, you are right, it takes quiet alot time to do these everyday, but if you dont do, dont expect to be in 1370 allrdy. Ofc there is the last thing what you can do what takes you nice and smoothly to 1370 without doing literally anything, then you just need to use irl currency, but most of us dont like to do it.
but like it been said, this is not a race, this is marathon
there is around half million players playing Lost Ark atm and i guess around 100k players will leave on next month and still this is one of the most popular mmo and im totally fine for it, im actually glad if those whining kids leave this game.
Holy Cow there’s 1085 replies! I believe the game will be fine in the short term. There is ALWAYS a massive drop in a true free 2 play game 2 weeks in. Especially in the Steam universe where there are a MILLION different games to play, this is going to happen.
One thing that can save it is the community. We will be launching our guild, Tyrs Paladium right here in Lost Ark because I think the game has legs and the support behind it. We are known in Neverwinter, DDO, Guild Wars 2, ESO, and Path of Exile. We are also in Baldurs Gate III.
What other guilds from the above games have pitched a tent in Lost Ark?
Did you not see the list of things to do or are you purposely being ignorant?
“Oh no I don’t get to do 2 Hard mode variants of the same dungeon I can already do and a single 10 minute raid every week!”
The list I gave is just for your main
Not including working on your alts to T3 to feed your main even more resources to push them over the bump.
Do you need to get there now this minute? No you don’t.
Will you get there if you do everything you can every week? 100% you will.
Persevere or Push off.
watch’im tell you that he does’nt want to play alts xO
They will never know the pain of farming for weeks, trading around and getting completely RNG slapped when trying to 6 link a high roll legendary after burning through 300+ resources to try and force it
And then back to the T2 map layer farming with your naff rolled 5 link because that was just the way it was in Path of Exile.
Well galaxy brain…
Given T3 is the highest tier we have in game.
It’s our endgame until higher content is released, got that?
This goes for anyone that keeps going but Korea has.
We don’t yet, stop putting the horse before the cart and you’ll find things a lot smoother an experience.
Edit: oh and by the way, the Clock works just fine for me, maybe, just maybe this clock thing isn’t them, but some that haven’t set auto adjustment for DST on their own clocks?
if they could fix the botting prob this would lose at least half of this stupid gamemodel but since botting gets at the same time lucrative like these ftp models and we have some laws against the best measurements dont think there is hope there but would be nice
man, this sentence gives me such strong New World dejavu its actually scary to see it here.
Idk about New World, never tried it, but for example GTAV has 100k+ daily peaks on Steam. And that’s a game for way wider audience.
MMOs aren’t for everyone, I haven’t played one in many years and I’m quickly realizing why. It’s just too much time consuming and honestly stressful that you’ll fall behind if you miss a couple of days or don’t appear for certain events right in time etc.
Meanwhile I can not play CSGO for a month and I’ll still be in top 1% or wherever I left as soon as I run the game again.
here it is. going from 1345 to 1350, i just went 1 for 18 honing attempts. starting with “30 pct” odds.
im not a casual. i put hundreds of hours in a game that i enjoy more than i have, any game, in a very long time, but here i am considering quitting…
throwing a couple more clicks/week at me doesnt fix it. you think half the player base leaving is bad? try 90 pct when they hit the wall and realize that its 1-2 months before they can feel like theres progression again…or you can max out your credit card.
let me clarify, its not that there even is a wall. Its just abrupt, and in a horrible spot.
i love the game, but this needs to be fixed. they pissed off the whales, giving them content below them, and they pissed us off, by gatekeeping us out.
congratufuckinglations.
Why in the hell would you expect to tap up on raw honing attempts?
Small sample size, there’s a bigger sample size on Reddit where a player stashed materials for weeks and recorded their attempts total materials and resources used and everything over several characters.
Would you play Black Jack without knowing how to card count? And all in while sat on 17?
Again, the mentality is each attempt prior to being able to force it is stacking your artisan energy, building up your upgrade resource bar
If it taps sooner, congratulations you got to save materials.
If it taps later, congratulations you got it when the game intended.
Adopt the mindset and you’ll stop getting mad.
Edit: Now if you come into this with the rate at which you get to the point where you can force it is too slow, then you have a solid basis for actual feedback and that is the argument I can support.
I can’t support “wai can I kno raw tap insta 1370?” Because that’s not an argument, that’s a demand for an easier system
I 1 tapped 3 times at 30% yesterday and god did it feel good 
that said i’ve also experienced the other side of this where you just keep failing until the game gives you the upgrade. This can be frustrating but as with all things in life you gotta take the good with the bad.
I think people just need to accept that this is how the game is going to be. Its not for everyone. If you dont enjoy this system at this point in time you should probably look for a different game to play because its only going to get worse as your ilvl increases. Im sure at some point in the future we will see % boosts for t1-2 but for now I honestly think its fine the way it is.
People just wont let it die. Every time I think its done I come back the next day and theres another 20 replies on it
