    Lost Ark Online

    Game is insanely popular. Everyone on my Steam is playing it, even folks who have sworn off MMOs -- it's almost as if releasing an MMO with shit to do will result in people playing it and spending money. Who knew? Will be curious to see how F2P impacts how many people are playing tomorrow. I...

    Lost Ark Online

    There's a bunch of guides / youtubes that will do this better than I but there is a metric fuckton of things to do, depending on what you're looking to do and what pace you're looking to progress at. There is no one size fits all, but some general stuff: 1- Complete Vern until your MSQ is...

    Lost Ark Online

    Just want to note that this was addressed within the game. You literally need to complete the MSQ up to Vern once. You then receive two additional boosts (for doing nothing) to lvl 50 with shusire completed. The MSQ has several high points but I agree, it's a drag. If the fear of needing to do...

    I don't think anyone is doing something wrong. Some of us have level'd to max a dozen or so times before. There are so many little things that you can do which speeds things up. For instance, I spend <12 minutes in Morai or so because I skip every trash pack, kill the NPCs that unlock the path...

    Lost Ark Online

    For those struggling on a class, just a reminder that everyone gets two power passes upon completing the Vern MSQ, which unlocks a full 302 geared character of your choice (x2). Essentially, if you're 25-30ish and think that you may want another class, it may be worth just grinding it out...

    Quick update for the guild since there's been a lot of PMs & interest: We've filled up with about 7-9 people waiting for an invite. I'll be clearing the roster some more for lower ilvl folks that haven't logged in (pre-emptive apologies!). The goal there isn't to remove the casuals but rather...

    and ding 50. The exp rate is nuts, absolutely no side quests needed and they still give you way too much exp.

    27/30 online. Not really a 'lot' of alts hogging room.

    I cleared a spot for you. Apply to FiresofHeaven via Alt U (the guild menu) and i'll add you.

    Lost Ark Online

    Guild is filled right now, so we'll be cleaning up the roster. With that being said, a 3k queue is about 30 minutes (so it's nowhere near as bad). If I missed a tag on someone, hop into Discord and send me your name and I'll see if we have any alts that can be removed.

    You can see (when they go to their Steam) that they last played it yesterday -- which confirms that it was unlocked for them as they were able to launch the client. It's a clever way to provide them 'priority' without skipping passed queues in a way that would make people in queue freak out.

    This is pretty standard. It should decrypt when Amazon requests it (traditionally at release however there's rumors that they'll unlock a little earlier rather than at the exact hour). Pyros summary a few pages back is pretty apt; depending on your CPU/hard drive it's sometimes better to start...

    US East wins out from a purely 'winner' standpoint. There is literally more than the double the amount of East servers (7 vs 3) and in light of the AH being restricted by region this makes it the clear cut choice to go with (cannot emphasis enough that this is a traditional MMO from an AH point...

    This is good news for me albeit I've now had to re-plan what I'm going to do way too much. All things considered, this is part of the fun of an MMO launch so looking forwarding to sharing in the WTF Amazon decisions with everyone tomorrow!

    And just like that a bunch of the Regulus population just switched to Galatur. This will occur another 47 times between now and launch. Happy to hear about the confirmation for the second pass, the notes were confusing as fuck. Crown Stream starting in 5 minutes or so - interested to see what...

    Part of the fun of getting to T3 (for me) is going to be clearing the Guardians for the first time clear without using the souls until I need to. Looking forward to a lot of frustration with some of them as a reuslt!

    Essentially this is a clear indication that they want players in T3 ASAP which was already suspected. They had several options to spread T1 & T2 out across months, which is what a lot of people wanted (to get to enjoy that content at a leisure rate). Some people still believed that, with the...

    This is the only reasonable expectation to have, which makes sitting in Discord complaining about the queues and wishing ill upon the idiot who picked the server the obvious best way to be spending your Tuesday -- come join Regulus and Discord for these exclusive once in a lifetime events...

    The plat pack is currently #1 on steam, the gold pack is #3, the bronze pack #4, and the silver pack #5. It's an MMO that is being advertised by Amazon with a launch event that is including hundreds of streamers (they even got Krip to stop playing Hearthstone for an hour). Amazon has also stayed...

    BDO is significantly more twitch. Lost Ark plays like a more traditional MMO (e.g., the complicated stuff is less about your reaction time and more about your ability to memorize increasingly challenging patterns and learning how to maximize your DPS in spite of those patterns occurring). PVP...

    Given what occurred to him with NW, I'm going to bet he ends up switching servers at the last moment. He knows his hoards will follow up and whatever he picks will be high pop. We'll see tomorrow (part of the fun of an MMO launch if anything!).

    Just a quick note for those rolling on Regulus: Discord has been set up with some channels for us (thanks @Alkorin). Please go ahead and use it with your in-game name (when available) for an invite tomorrow. Will be on all day and it's far easier to keep track that way than in game messages.

    This is too general of a question to provide a specific answer so I'm going to recommend Battlemaster since I haven't seen many people play it and their buffs are amazing. Both assassins are viable and mostly come down to a question of personal preference. Deathblade ends up feeling less Asian...

    This is really the thing that Lost Ark has going for it which makes up for all of the sins that would drive me away from it. Like, I absolutely fucking hate daily quests and alts, so you would think I'd hate the game but the class design & combat are absolutely top notch. It's difficult to...

    Lost Ark Online

    Gonna be interesting to see just how popular a launch this is. I've genuinely been surprised that the plat pack has been #2 for this long (as opposed to the Gold pack at #3 or Bronze pack at #4). I think it just goes to show how much people want an MMO to play and are comfortable spending money...

    Lost Ark Online

    From a plan standpoint, I should be on Tuesday and will make the guild once I have sufficient silver to do so. You can go ahead and send Voldeth a message as a result (provided I get my name!). Will update the thread with others as I'll promote a fair amount of forum folks to be able to also...

    Both are great choices, provided there's an understanding that Paladin is support and Sorc will be overpopulated (but insanely good) to start with. There's been no news relating to when the classes will be released however they're supposed to provide the roadmap (which should include the...

    There's an amalgam of things that would result in (and has resulted in) having people check out of RU, among others; - Knowledge Transfer. This is something RU backed out of doing because they like selling boosts. It's the exact shit that most people would have thought Amazon would have done...

    This. With the limited population at launch for guilds, trying to latch onto someone else would prevent being able to tag everyone. As for alts, that makes sense (hadn't even thought about that) but we'll see how many people we end up with.

    The plan is to stick with Regulus. It's always about finding that balance between 'overcrowded queues' & 'not enough people on a server to feel like an MMO'. In the case of LA though, as Raes mentioned, the zone channel tech is top notch and there won't be an issue on that front whatsoever...

    Premade pvp is impacted by server selection, as you stated. This is where you set up groups before queuing in (e.g. for a tournament or to practice against a specific team). All ranked queues are solo. Islands are mostly soloable content, especially with T3 being available. It's in fact...

    They've pretty much nailed absolutely everything possible in this last week (DX11, balance patch status, Knowledge Transfer) and I was rather convinced they would fuck things up completely, so I am pleasantly surprised. I reserve the right to retract this statement if they fuck up the cash shop...
