Why I decided to quit Lost ark After having 3 characters in T3, and having completed the most recent "Argos" content

I’m finding most, if not all PFs here pretty capable with no drama nor issue through Abyssals.

A lot of folks playing are from the likes of XIV so are used to clock positions, reacting to floor patterns and set pieces, it’s pretty much the norm.

Totally agree, the game is a big SCAM, it was really overhyped and streamers and youtubers who MAKES MONEY from whales of this game follow them, subscribe them and donate them hard LIES AND OVERRATED THIS GAME to just get more money and catch some dumb whales.

The content in this game is just braindead, boring, repetitive and nosense, you have a LOT of content to do in T1 and T2 and islands but you can skip T1 and T2 in 2-3 weeks, so when you arrive to T3, there are NO ISLANDS to explore, no new guardian raids, you only have 1 guardian raid from 1340 to 1370 and it takes TWO MONTHS, while in T1 and T2 you had 16 GUARDIAN RAIDS to beat fast in 2-3 weeks.

And after 1370, the content just dissapear, end game? WHERE? Inside infinite chaos dungeon where the rewards are nerfed everytime you exchange them and you get less and less… its stupidly repetitive and boring, there are NOT any way to enjoy or to do something really fun in this game, oh wait! You can look for a party to do Abyss Dungeons because there are really “hard” xDDDD Hard? Really? I’ve seen people talking about how hard and unique is this game, but the only unique and hard is find people with brain playing this game, because they are all dumb and without hands and thats the only thing thats “hard”, to find normal players or mid-averaged skilled.

The only “hard” thing in this game is the fact of login every single day to do the SAME BORING THING AGAIN AND AGAIN and trying to feel you are having “fun”, thats the real hard thing in this game.

I was caught by streamers/youtubers lies and I played +500 hours, T3 Argos Phase 1 and some T3 alts too and there is NOT a single reason to keep wasting my time in this (for some reason allowed) CASINO GAME for KIDS. Good training to create a good addicted to gambling.

Firstly.

That was extremely patronizing and if I were on the “C.S” as per say, I’d ignore any feedback you’d have to offer for quite frankly taking such a tone.

And sorry but, “we have been patient?” This forum has been nothing but screaming at each other and the CS like Wilde beasts in heat from day 1. I’ve yet to see any evidence of this patience when it’s constant day by day threads filled with:

  1. Profanity laden nastiness toward anyone with a different opinion
  2. Rage at nerfing, Rage at people against nerfing
  3. Rage at the bots, Rage when preventions against the bots are implemented in a rushed fashion causing a speed hack detection flag to go off catching players who were just using speed builds.
  4. Rage at people refusing to quit
  5. Rage at people that don’t want dps meters
  6. Constant attempts at Elitism
  7. Constant Doom threads (not the Videogame)
  8. Dozens of I Quit because I burned out my wallet by not having self control and that’s your fault threads

Every so often, there are good points raised, good arguments made

But do we really, really need pages and pages and pages of this kind of thread every single day burying the actual feedback that needs to be read? That might actually get somewhere?

No we do not.

If you’re tired, fed up, unhappy

Do what every rational human being does

“This is not for me, I’ll fill out a feedback form and unless something changes I’m done”

Not sit on the forums like some are day after day after day.

Because that’s not just unhealthy

That’s obsessive insanity and they need to move on for their own mental well being.

Funny you say that, I got 3 characters in t3, 2 more about to hit t3… I keep telling my friend we should’ve taken it slow, and he agrees… cause both of us are not on as often as we use to be.

Trying to keep myself motivated, I hunt mokoko, do gathering, island souls etc but even that only last a few hours.

And with how the prices are basically worthless now, people are going to be able to get through t1-t2 just as quick and land in the same problem I’m at rushing through the game.

I’m starting to develop severe rashes from posts with CAPITALIZED random words for EMPHASIS.

oh that’s nice and good to hear.

Lol, you really don’t understand how human beings work very well, that’s for sure.

You’re not mad at the game.

You’re mad at yourself for being bought in by the honeyed lies of Shroud, Rich, etc.

They did the same thing with New World, made out it was the greatest game ever when you could see on their face they would rather do anything else.

Those of us that have listened to the Korean playerbase/kept up to date/played knew Argos was not remotely worth what they did, not forgetting these guys are literal millionaires so throwing mad money like that for them is a drop in the ocean.

They decieved the playerbase as they did with New World

They fed you a false narrative that you have to whale to enjoy the game

They went against everything the Korean playerbase has said for 3 years.

For “Content” hits and revenue over an accurate portrayal of the games systems and how you can progress at a decent rate without ever dropping a dime.

They got you, hook, line and sinker along with so many others.

If anyone should be apologising it’s the Streamers for the con artistry they pulled for the second time while doing an AGS affilate sponsored stream game.

That’s what grown adults do you see.

There comes a time when you finally realise, it’s wasted breath and nobody is going to listen if you’re screaming loudly. So you do the adult thing and take your business elsewhere.

Now, that’s the interesting part because yes, so called grown adults still do that, because maturity is a mindset with no age limit. A teenager can be incredibly mature and a grown ass man can be a massive man child.

Maturity is when you realise the power is not your voice, but your money.

Walk away, you deny it.

I love this game but the down trend of players logging is pretty extreme according to the charts we have available and it going pretty much the same route new world it if not a little behind. Theres one connection that links the 2 and with lost ark being successful in other regions we can blame amazon. Theyve been far too slow on the button just like new world.

that’s just wrong materials you are using then :slight_smile: Nothing can match NW relative fall. And this game is on average with other “popular” MMO releases. (Popular = known and anticipated. The ones that nobody knows of when they are released are an exception as their curve is different.)

Lost Ark NA is a classic server release of Lost Ark KR. We know all the content of the full game, and see how much we have gated. You then spend 10-12 hours a day rushing directly to the end of the released content and complain there is nothing to do. Rusher hit the content wall in WOW every time there is a new expansion because they want world / server first bragging rights and this game is no different. D3 when a new season is released has people race to the end, get high on the leaderboard and then quit. Even Elden Ring now has speed runs of under 30 mins.

AGS fumbled the ball by not having their roadmap laid out on how to release this game. They should have known beforehand how content was going to be released and when. This “collecting data” before reacting isn’t a good business model and doesn’t build customer confidence that you know what you are doing.

p.s Make your own guild and only invite people with 1370+ ilevel to tackle the content you want to do.

Almost every endeavour is an attempt to make money in one way or another. That’s not predatory, that’s survival.

Exactly what I started doing from the beginning. Slowly creating a casual environment for the folks that want to play and progress steadily, but not be pressured. Once we’re at the end game, we’ll slowly move away from the matchmaking and start playing together more often.

Why do anyone should care about it?

May the other games suite you better. You deserve to have fun as a gamer.

Oh no! Anyway…

I knew as soon as the people who rushed the content got to end game they would bail, no amount of content would ever satisfy them, blaming the game instead of the way they play, have fun in WoW and FF14.

same I got bored too… I do my 2 chaos dungeon and alt+f4 the game just can’t be bothered anymore

EverQuest and Ultima Online want to have a word with you. Probably more but those are the two I played prior to WoW.
