From a general standpoint, most classes have certain flows / mechanics that simply require a fair amount of knowledge in the game (e.g. until you've played a bit, it's not super obvious). From a Soulfist perspective, you should start by spending 4 points into Pulverizing Palm to unlock...

This is accurate. Paladin's are support and any who try to play as DPS (some do) will be frowned upon and disliked.

I'm a pretty big fan of LA and always intended to sub. I'm also firmly in the "I'm not 14 and have disposable income, plus devs need to make money somehow" club but honestly the cash shop concerns are 100% valid. AGS have not shown that they have any clue whatsoever and they need to provide more...

Class design is incredible (but really weird in my opinion) for this game. Traditionally, I always play plate / melee with an emphasis on tankiness however I absolutely can't get into Gunlancer. What aggravates the situation considerably is just how different classes end up playing at max and...

Got to level 50 and definitely need to work on my path and efficiency, as I got to Vern already level 50. I was a bit concerned that without the account exp the leveling process would be more challenging but it really wasn't -- easily doable in about 11 hours. There are still some minor audio...

Those are for Mokoko seeds - there are a lot of hidden ones like that. Optional collection!

Made an FOH guild for those on East, PM Voldeth for an invite.

East server came up early.

Lance master is such a fun class, especially for PVP. Looking forward to Scouter being released the most though as I've committed to not re-rolling mains too much, that'll probably be the only switch I make. If you're playing this weekend, do give the East server a try to see if it's workable...

Hello friend. East server.

No to the email, yes to being able to access. You should simply re-load steam and you should now be able to download the closed beta client.

Wouldn't really say that this is accurate. All classes are gender locked. Some classes (such as those you referenced) have a male/female counterpart and those counterparts share some abilities but they play vastly differently and are still unique classes, mostly by virtue of the fact that the...

Check PMs!

There's been quite a bit of discussion on this but it's a bit difficult to comment on without knowing what type of pricing they'll have in the cash shop. From my perspective, the platinum pack is very meh, especially since the Avatar can only be used on one character where as I see good value in...

Closed beta keys available at: Keys for those interested. Edit: All gone now.

Just keep in mind that Chaos dungeons are designed to be cleared 2x a day and are solo activities that are ultimately all about mobbing up groups and clearing them out as fast as possible. It's a daily activity that begins once you hit 50 and will last literally forever and is largely impossible...

I don't think it's a silly question at all - LA is a different beast than what most people are accustomed to and there's bound to be a lot of questions as a result. Kirun's post is a pretty good example of that - the status quo of Asian MMOs is that class balance shifts drastically every patch...

There really isn't any; while Paladin / Bard fall under the more traditional support classification encounters are designed around personal responsibility. I doubt we'll hear more than the already provided Q1 2022 until after Endwalker is released and has had the first week or so to die down...

Gunlancer is going to be a rather interesting class for LA in my opinion, specifically because I get the sense that a lot of people will roll it by virtue of thinking it's a tank class in the standard MMO sense (it's not) and be incredibly disappointed / frustrated as a result. Provided you...

Pretty much this. This is a full fledged MMO (and easily the most complete we've seen in a long time) that has ARPG elements rather than the other way around. With the news that they're going to launch with 70 islands, it's going to be interesting to figure out which to prioritize, especially...

The entire smokescreen is aimed at removing the notion that LA is P2W and, to Amazon's credit, they've been getting positive feedback on this (albeit, as it's been pointed out, the aforementioned positivity stems from people who don't know any better). Frankly though, I don't care and still...

They've already confirmed that they won't be adding any additional content or classes. Source:

This is pretty accurate and the amount of misunderstanding relating to Lost Ark in the West is just sad. I've seen countless posts about The Crystalline Aura (which, as Raes said, is essentially worthless. The only really valuable part of that whole thing is the additional 2 Bifrosts and that's...

I think it's fair to say that it's impossible not to enjoy LA's class design. Scouter is literally like playing Iron Man in an MMO, Soul Fist is Goku, etc. KR just provided a new trailer for the upcoming Sorc class. You'd be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't think this look cool:

There is really no pre level cap game in Lost Ark in the traditional MMO sense. You hit max level in about 9-12 hours (provided you skip quests prior to Arthetine) or 15-20 hours if you're going slow and enjoying cutscenes, etc. All of the level up dungeons can be solo'd (even on hard mode) with...

This is where we fundamentally disagree (well, moreso that I'm not understanding how this is annoying for you). It's the exact same stuff that every other major MMO presently has and, to your point, LA actually has some other (albeit sometimes trivial) shit to do in abudance. Taking WoW as an...

Raes does a pretty good job of summarizing Lost Ark's 'p2w' -- I do think that the Western audience is certainly going to be a bit challenged by the concept and how it works, since it's not really a traditional P2W format. The term that makes more sense is pay to progress a bit faster. As an...

I play via VPN. It's incredibly easy to setup (search for any of the 10000 guides available) and will only cost you a few bucks for the VPN you use. In light of how quickly release is coming, I wouldn't recommend it though, unless you're just trying to figure out which classes you'll want to...

Has it been determined that the joke was in poor taste? It feels like we need to provide a full background check before talking about anything these days but, as a father of two girls, I've got absolutely no problem with 2015 Furor and company making a Cosby room group chat and talking about...

They haven't announced a date as of yet for the next beta however it is indeed Fall for the release. While they've gone with the usual dev speak platitudes of 'soon' and 'shortly' it's rather clear that they won't impact their flagship title in New World (it just doesn't make business sense)...

I'm a little disappointed by the Striker choice to be honest albeit there was also a rumor that NA would get a 16th class for launch. It sounds that they're not comfortable releasing either the Destroyer or Arcana as they require further balance 'adjustments' which factors into my letdown. For a...

You should actually be able to click on the 'collect reward' to get those rewards. I believe the dungeonr eward is under the Pve Hero Name tab (albeit it's been a bit and I could be off there). The little red mark indicates you still have stuff to collect though.

This is just one of the terrible translations -- you'll need to do it under 'Drill' (which is the only mode you can select). When you beat it, it'll also seem confusing as to how to 'collect' the reward for the instance but it should be part of the progress menu. In addition, I'd suggest doing...

Smilegate gave a nice presentation for their upcoming patch, some of which is rumored to also come day 1 to the West, this included: - A new class (Sorceress) which is your standard stand and cast class (which is why it's rumored to be a release class for the West and why they didn't have it...

Yes right now. As for me, maybe my standards have fallen (I absolutely despise F2P MMOs usually; give me a sub and a purely cosmetic shop any day of the week) but I absolutely enjoy Lost Ark for what it is. I've level'd to 50 on KR on 4 classes and 3 on RU and I'm traditionally anti-alt. It...

They 'westernized' the class releases to try to appeal to our demographic (it's completely out of order). The advantage is we got more male selection (and the assassin classes, which is always a plus) alongside the two supports (instead of just having bards). I had forgotten just how shitty the...

This was confusing as fuck for me too (and they do a shit job of explaining it). There are two ways to get into the closed beta: 1. Signing up and receiving an e-mail, which allows you to add it to Steam and download the client. 2. Pre-ordering They posted the information afterwards but, I...

Nice to have some extra folks playing, lets 3v3 queue for PVP early. :)

Just a note that if you pre-ordered from Steam (any of the packs) the closed beta client can now be downloaded.

I know that the game is too late but I don't care. I enjoyed both the KR & RU versions and I suspect I'll enjoy this even more. The issue for me is going to be, as someone who rarely makes alts, exactly which class to go with. There are several that I really, really enjoyed plus it looks like...
