    You used to get xp from dungeons, but people figured out grinding certain ones was way faster than questing. So, Smilegate changed it so you only get a one time quest for each dungeon. (And forgot to do that for like 2 dungeons, so those don't give any xp at all) People also used to not bother...

    This version still uses the NPC for engravings? That's lame. Costs (way too much) silver and you have to be in a city. Current version it's a free, drag and drop UI element, and you can switch engravings anywhere, even dungeons. Maybe if AGS knew what they were doing they'd get shit like this...

    Figured everyone who wanted in would have a key by now. But, if that's not the case I have like 6 extra keys if anyone needs one. (Dumbass Amazon sent me 3 for my silver pack pre-order, lol)

    They already did cut out nearly half the side quests, lol. And, about a month or so from launch, those leveling dungeons will be ghost towns, that you have to do (solo) on every alt, longer would just mean more time and trash mobs (many of which you don't even have to kill, unless the progress...

    Just thought it was funny that when I read your post it was the movie that popped in my head. Not that it was bad, just "discretion --> Valley Girl" (lol), hence the wink.

    So, last night I did some comparisons of NA's cash shop vs RU. Keeping in mind that we don't know what Amazon will be charging for Royal Crystals yet and that things could change between now and release. In RU it costs 1000 rubles for 1000 RC, which equates to $14.00 USD. So, we can safely...

    You need to be level 50 Before you get to the main city in Vern. One of the main story quests there requires level 50. It's better to be a little over then have to backtrack to Athertine. IIRC you can be ~300k shy of level 50 when you leave Athertine and still make it in time.

    Yep. Lotta systems. This is why every time I try to explain something it turns into a 5 paragraph mishmash of text vomit. The adventure log gives rewards every 10% of completion. You increase completion with those clickies and certain crafted/found food items, plus story (main quest and hidden...

    Yes...some...of the...voice acting....is......really...bad. Also, they went with a thinner version of the UI font, for some stupid reason. Probably just me, but it makes the game look cheap/old. Wish there was a way to change it back.

    Yes, there are cities, and they are your hubs at endgame. It's zoned open world, each zone is a bit small, and most are just for leveling quest. Some quests later become dailies. LA has a channel system, when Channel 1 becomes full, 2 is created etc. You can switch channels like every 20...

    Pretty sure that's only for the first 3 hours. LA has the usual Korean "channel" system, but don't think one server can handle too much load. Like only 2% of people would be able to play that day.

    The $25 pack is an ok investment. The higher ones, not really. If anyone is gonna spend that much money, it's better to spend it on specifically what you want. Lots of the shit in the packs isn't worth what people think they are. If anyone just wants a key, you can pre-order a pack from Amazon...

    Things like not stacking classes while doing a first clear aren't "meta." It's just trying to compensate for the fact that the entry level GS is usually set way too low, so you do everything you can to buff your damage. Saying you're "never stacking 2x of the same class in a group" isn't true...

    Ok, need to clarify something. It's hard to explain things about this game since the devs never met a game system they didn't like, so there are tons of them, some which are interconnected with others and you can't really explain one without the others. ( It's design bloat, but the game and UI...

    Having a support class to shield the group at the right moments is hardly a meta. That's their purpose. When you're playing the game the way it's designed, that's not "meta".

    Lost Ark Online

    There's some where you want to have a (well played) support class or two, but there's no "best" dps classes. What matters is your GS, Engravings and # of skill points. Plus having some skill, and knowing the fight.

    Lost Ark Online

    Lost Ark doesn't really have a meta. It's just that classes play so differently, and a new class can come out that you like playing way better than your current main. For instance, when RU launched, of the classes available, I liked Devil Hunter most. Later on Blade was released and I liked that...

    Lost Ark Online

    While classes tend to be slightly OP when first released, and some classes are more popular than others, all are equally viable. It's more a matter of finding the playstyle you like. Popularity isn't a great metric either, since switching mains or getting a second class up to the power level of...

    Endgame is pretty much a lobby game. While the world looks great, the zones are kinda small and very...static? At max level you only go back for quick dailies and gathering crafting mats. About 4% of the mobs in a zone are quest objectives, the rest only exist to annoy (interrupt) you while...

    To be fair, LA's story is pretty decent in comparison to other Korean games. Beatrice (the only "angel" who still has both her wings) sends you on a quest to recover all the shards of the Ark, which are on the various continents, and each continent has its own story that you get involved in...

    Personally, I think it's a waste of time/money and wish they (and other games) would just translate text and leave the Korean voices. On the other hand, I do like when (quality) voice actors get more work. Edit: There's the added bonus that you can't really skip voiced quest dialogue. It keeps...

    I think it mostly depends on where they are at with the translations, but if that's on track we'll probably hear something when NW's peak player count hits the 150k -200k range. They mentioned the dwarves in one of their updates, which is the continent after Rohendel (North...

    Limiting so much of your casting pool to black or black female (minorities) also limits the quality/skill of acting. It's been getting really annoying. Part of the reason I've been watching/rewatching older shows.

    It's about how this affects people who buy Blue Crystals from other players with gold.

    I'm sorry, dude, but you're delusional. Nothing about these changes is positive for the players. It's simple math. LA is already not p2w, it's pay-to-progress-faster, period. Nothing they are doing changes that. The friggin cash shop is just cosmetics, blue crystals and upgrade mats. That's it...
