    Lost Ark Online

    This is pretty much a confirmation that you're going to love all future content. The upcoming Legion Raids are all very similar in design and execution and then the added difficulty mode just makes things satisfying to master. There's a reason retention went way up when Legion Raids were released.

    Yeah, it's the Ironman class and insanely fun. I'm interested to see what the next classes they release look like on KR as Artist was conceptually really interesting. Grats! We cleared on Saturday and our pug support was going to have a heart attack on making sure I hit Thirain during the...

    The moment Scouter is released I'm basically instantly re-rolling my main, which is why I've been pretty cheap with my Soulfist in terms of buying materials (I didn't even bother boosting to 1475 and I'm sitting at 1465). I have a lot of strong dislikes about the game but classes & combat are...

    Are you enjoying the scrapper as much as I am? The buffs were intense for a class I already liked but it feels really good to play now.

    I'll take a stab at this (albeit, I don't want to speak for Gravel & Booze even if I'm using them as examples of what I believe to be the problem): To start with Booze as an example, here's someone who has been playing more than I have these last few weeks. He's dedicated, advancing, and playing...

    The changes for certain classes (such as Soulfist) ultimately eliminated a fair amount of the nuisance of the class. Thus they adjusted it in a lazy manner (7% damage increase) which brings the numbers more in line with what they want them to be. I was disappointed by this as the PTR changes...

    Lost Ark Online

    We've discussed it in guild chat quite a bit but it amazes me that MMOs don't have a system in place for this. All it takes is a vendor with all of this stuff and a currency that goes to your special tab. You can even make it absurd (like needing to kill it 100x times for enough currency for the...

    Little jealous. I've not missed a single Moake rotation and started clearing him before most. I'm almost level 59 and just +20'd my weapon tonight but I still don't have the star. It drives my OCD absolutely insane.

    I'm glad someone said this. I agree that the communication on this was terrible but at this point, that's the status quo for AGS. With that being said, there are regions that still don't even have Knowledge Transfer. They gave a full on Feiton pass with an extra rapid event boost not long ago...

    Quick note for everyone: There's a poll up in Discord relating to the raid times for Valtan starting next week. We'll be switching Argos to the off day and stopping T2 (thus tonight is the last T2) when released.

    My issue with Lost Ark's daily chores is that they really feel like chores and aren't fun at all and they already know this and have solutions in place but have not ported over some of those solutions, thus resulting in a miserable fucking experience for some of the more casual players.. They...

    Which is the gap that Legion raids will alleviate. It's basically an extra night where you're doing nothing but the fun stuff (only, it's actually really fun) and a second night while learning. Effectively you'll have: 1) Legion raids day 2) HM/NM Abyss run day. There is still a gap of time here...

    Was nice to have you for the raids. While I'm not a huge fan of the GVG islands (complete transparency: whale guilds will dominate these since they're not equalized) I do think that we have a strong guild make up for these and participation provides additional materials. It's going to be a fun...

    The West bot situation and queues is completely unacceptable and fucking retarded. The fact that people here are quitting because of it (when our tolerance for stupid is higher than most places) highlights this. So I feel bad when I say that there's about 50 posts from me before launch talking...

    Tonight was an amazing showing as we had 2 groups full clear Argos in under 30 minutes, as well as a great rotation on hard modes. A special thanks to @BoozeCube for taking charge of group 2. The guild is now level 11 (so well ahead of the pack) and I'd love to add an additional 2-4 folks so...

    I can't emphasis this enough: don't do a Solas run. Not one. They're terrible. You're far better off getting card packs from pirate coins and events until you RNG into not needing Solas.

    Lost Ark Online

    I think perhaps this should be your focus -- the game has a lot of highly addictive MMO elements incorporated into it and, from the sound of things, you're spending a lot of time doing those (which is great if you're having fun but not that the expense of RL). Are you on Regulus? How about you...

    Got enough spare mats to get my destroyer to 1370 on day 1. This week is about pushing the Scrapper, sorc, & slinger to 1370 as well as the DB / LM to 1340 without using any of those mats though. Failed another +20 weapon on Vold today (using only bound mats, which takes a bit of time per...

    My blood boils every time the discussion of filtering comes up. Fuck this so much -- let me curse if I want to and type out my credit card information if I'm an idiot. This shit is just retarded. On another note: Guild quests are set for main & alt guild. As a reminder for tonight: Argos (all...

    I just tried: 1- Flame Fox Yoho (52 seconds) 2- Icy Legoros (9 seconds) 3- Vertus (1 minute 8 seconds) 4- Calventus (instant pop) 5- Helgaia (instant pop) Which I feel fits your criteria of non farm t1-t2 guardians and again, it's noon on a Monday. Any new player would be greeted by a Feiton...

    I disagree with some of the underlining premises that he builds on for his numbers, albeit obviously there is a significant bot problem (AGS even admitted they expected us to see a serious population drop when they did their unsuccessful VPN ban). For me, this is clearly the most healthy...

    Glavier's are amazing if played correctly, which represents 0.001% of the Lost Ark population. They require a lot more attention and knowledge than most classes, ergo, every single group with one at present is a shit tier player who makes the PUG experience miserable. Surprised that more people...

    I agree this is a poor solution (which: full disclosure, is my caveat before the full blown fanboy in me kicks in) but, I'm glad they are acknowledging the issue. I do think that there's a better way to go about this (e.g., fucking banning gold buyers & sellers via a few GMs doing God's work...

    I've mentioned it before but my Solas runs were the serious low point for me. They are a terrible experience and I would advice anyone not to do them. For the love of God, at least make it so when you complete the Lutteran siege that Thairain gives you the card and you don't need to keep going...

    Missed this originally. I pay close attention to these as they're a significant source of upgrades, albeit sometimes it takes a bit of research to figure out. I suspect however that the +3 to all was simply someone seeing 'shiny +3' and grabbing it if it wasn't part of standard builds (2k is a...

    Instant queues on everything & a healthy guild population with pre-made stuff done twice a week (filling up and actually having people sit out on the main day). It's a great time to pick it up with a catch up mechanic going on, albeit I'm sure they'll be another one come summer. Just remember to...

    It's a trade-off but I agree with this 100% as opposed to those that prefer gear to last forever and be difficult to catch up. I have enough gold right now where I could quit until Valtan is released and log in day 1 to being higher ilvl than everyone (and I don't see anything wrong with that)...

    Argos is intended to be a weekly Guardian 8-man. All phases are easy, puggable, and that is precisely the design of it. It's absolutely the fault of SG/AGS for having released it in the manner that they did however as it made it seem that it was an end game raid. It is not. I cannot emphasis...

    Fail was your word. Highlighted below: I've asked you to define what you view failure as. If you qualify BDO as a 'failure MMO' than really, you are insane? I absolutely despise BDO (it's not my cup of tea at all) however to say it's a failure? Still waiting for this to be defined as a result...

    Just because I like to promote Saint, watch this with sound: Your thought that gear will gimp things is based on your present experience in Lost Ark, which is totally understandable. This simply isn't the case for what's coming in that sense though.

    When is Lost Ark going to fail and what exactly is your fail condition? We're vastly approaching month #4 with over 500k players online at the exact same time based on Steam.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who was cracking up laughing as he talked about the incredible stress that is running M+ and the 'pressure' that it creates while trying to re-affirm that he isn't bad. Dude is sitting there with a controller having done regular mythic once (which is the retard mode...

    I like this perspective a lot and agree with most of it. A few important things to note though; 1) We are missing some QOL shit relating to housing that provide some additions (albeit, nothing too dramatic). 2) It is not accurate that Valtan and other legion commanders do not have an effect on...

    Quick thoughts: - Half the population isn't botting. This is just silly and jaded based on nonsense. The game has a serious issue with bots that AGS needs to start policing but this is mostly limited to gold farmers. As someone who does use multiple accounts (but I don't automate via bots)...

    25 minutes to clear with the guild alt run this week. Running with non-retards makes life easier. :) In so far as a quick update is concerned: We'll be doing Argos full clear on Thursday and Alt runs on Saturday (after the T2 alt runs). Target for the first week for the Argos alt run is P1...

    This is you missing the point again, which was even spelled out for you to no avail. Here's what was said: Booze even made it more clear: So let me try and make it clear for you again: no one is attempting to defend the alphabet people at Blizzard. In fact, by and large, we'd rather laugh at...
