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:
Profanity laden nastiness toward anyone with a different opinion
Rage at nerfing, Rage at people against nerfing
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.
Rage at people refusing to quit
Rage at people that don’t want dps meters
Constant attempts at Elitism
Constant Doom threads (not the Videogame)
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
