    LOL, how many times do I have to say the number is probably small just not zero? You yourself just said "most." They said nothing about banning those accounts. They just have certain restrictions, like not sending mail with attachments. And no to the "going forward" part. Your Steam account is...

    lol Keep in mind, just because they can't mail shit doesn't mean they can't fish, sell fish, use gold to buy something off the AH put up by another RMT account. So, we'll see.

    As I said, it's probably not a lot, but it's not zero. I'm sure there are at least a few people who didn't even own a Steam account before making one to play Lost Ark. It could be 6 people worldwide, but I guarantee there are some.

    I'm over 300k fish, get on my level. :P Of course, about 100k or so is on my 2 alt accounts, so that's annoying. In other news, Asmon discovers Pheons.

    It's just something easy they can do and cost them nothing, but "seems" at first glance to be giving people more. Just stupid tactics. And this Steam bullshit is what I've been waiting for. In their battle against the bots they've screwed with alt accounts. Not being able to send mail...

    I don't think so? Since they are being all stingy with the class releases (cuz they are retarded) I'm pretty sure there would be a huge announcement at least a week or two in advance. I'd assume we won't hear anything about it til they drop the revised roadmap that they are taking forever to...

    If you'd try thinking instead of reacting you wouldn't have to ask that question. The game creates a new channel for a zone whenever the current channel(s) hits the full (red) status. These new channels stay active as long as 1 person is in them. Whenever you enter a zone and get tossed into a...

    Lost Ark Online

    The game uses a channel system, most zones have multiple channels, so your anecdotal experience is meaningless. There are already word filters in game. The bots just find ways around them, which is why the spam looks like it does. The more strict they make it, the more annoying it is for...

    Yup. I've been watching the effects on the economy of the RMT and bots from the start and it's pretty much dead at this point. Was logging in every 5ish hours to sell/craft fusions for a small profit, but they dropped to 8g today (so 7g to undercut) so that's a done deal. Could have gone a...

    And I'm not saying bard is bad at chaos, but you said "best" and "by a mile" and that's just a hard lol. :P

    How many other classes have you tried for comparison? My Sorc solo clears 1340 chaos dungeons in like 4 minutes or slightly less, and is far from optimal engravings.

    IIRC he said they were hoping to hit 200k concurrent, because that's around what it peaked at in Korea. Extrapolate the game doing badly? Please tell me where I said that? I've said many times that AGS is doing badly, so bad they could hardly do worse. The game is doing fine and has probably...

    All I said was the current decline was a bit steep. One expects a decline after the launch rush, because usually people are just logged in less, even if still playing every day. Look at the complaints here and on the official forums. There are many people just dropping the game. It's Korean...

    I agree with most of what you're saying, but when people quit like WoW in between expansions it's because they've done all or most of the content and can't really progress any further. Most of the people dropping Lost Ark never even made it to tier 3. I expected the drop off, but considering...

    There's 3 basic reasons for what you are experiencing. 1.) AGS deciding at the last minute to launch with Tier 3. 2.) Streamers/Youtubers who played other versions and are throwing out "guides" like candy to get in the van, so people can try to do in a few months what took years. 3.) AGS and...

    No, I was referring to Arcanist in May. Although, since that info was from the "leaked" roadmap and they're redoing it, could release in April with Destroyer.

    Lancemaster, Scouter or Reaper. Oh...wait... Maybe Summoner or Arcana...in like a month. :rolleyes: Seriously, though, if you like Striker might as well try out one of the other fighters.

    Well, of course higher GS than the entry level means you do a bit more damage and take less. Rarity and grade of gear makes a good bit of difference as well. He was asking about the difference in effectiveness between 1346 and 1370. And since you tend do be doing things with the highest GS req...

    For the most part gearscore is just an entry requirement for various content.

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    During the most recent change in direction they decided to not make it a Lineage game. It's a new IP and they are also making another game set in the same world on the Eastern continent that will be Korean themed instead of European medieval.

    Slated for global launch later this year. They scrapped the Lost Ark isometric version and went with BDO style.

    Roxx 3h Hey everyone — first off, thank you for your patience as we sorted this out. The team has investigated this situation thoroughly, and I want to provide an update and some context for everyone. There were a number of accounts suspended in this timeframe as a result of one of our speed...

    It's kinda easy to make it a habit, since you have to open the guild tab once a day on each character to get your check-in stones. Since the devs love those little red reminder dots you'd think there would be one for the guild tab if you haven't opened it that day. What's even worse is that the...

    The ilvl req restrictions is what they were referring to. The part they lied about was that they only removed the req from the engraving books, not the mats.

    Yes, that's true, but events are supposed to be for everyone to benefit from. Which is why in other regions the rewards come in Roster bound boxes and you get to choose the tier of rewards, like this: Not only can you give the box to whichever character you want, you can throw them in your...

    If NCSoft wanted it they prob would have published it long before now. The Lineage franchise is their flagship product and Lineage Eternal (or whatever its called now) will be a direct competitor with Lost Ark. I think the problem stems from the nature of game "publishing." I've pondered this...

    Also liars. Removed the purchase limitation by item level at the Arkesia Grand Prix exchange so that players can now earn more rewards. They only removed the GS req for the engraving books.

    Same on NA East. Fishing has always been a goto (and mining) for bots for whatever reason. I guess it's easy to automate and with fishing you don't have to fight over nodes. Enjoy it while you can. This game sucks for trying to make any gold with crafting. The bots will drive down the price of...

    Yes, but keep in mind the mats you buy are character bound. In other regions event rewards come in Roster bound chests, with chooseable rewards. Like those shards and leapstone chests you've seen.

    Fixed an issue that prevented unbound Uncommon (green) and Rare (blue) HP Potions from being tradeable. I love how a stupid AGS decision is now just "an issue." lol Event rewards shouldn't have had an ilvl req in the first place, but at least they are removing it. Fever TIme rewards are...

    Yup. They started moving away from the "asian grinder" a while back, but they did that by just throwing a bajillion borings quests at you, because that's what they thought people wanted. Then they inevitably realize they've made a mistake and either streamline the questing and/or offer (paid)...

    Playing for years is the heart of the problem. They have zero idea how to handle starting out fresh on this version of the game. Sure, they know what's important to shoot for and start early, but they never had to actually do it until now. The original game was completely different than it is...

    Game companies that sell character slots have this tendency to treat those slots like some kind of holy grail. Smilegate has never given them away, and it's the only thing (other than shit like name change tickets) that they haven't. They do like to expand the maximum number of slots you can...

    Yes, like I said, they want to milk the whales as much as possible. Less means of getting mats means more money. Same reason we got fewer rewards on the racing event vendor.
