Steam achievements are all kind of fucked so not sure it's actually correct. I got several I shouldn't have, like T3 shit and what not. On mine it says 83.3% have completed that though

Hmm kinda fucking weird, no queue at all during headstart, had no issues logging in at 6 and 8PM even, but now it's launch and I have a 5k+ queue to log in middle of the day, even though servers are supposed to be closed for new chars? Granted it's the weekend, I guess, but damn that's a big...

NA West is up apparently. East/EU still down.

Well they also literally said they confirmed it. You could say "but they might be lying", but if then they wouldn't have bothered saying anything. I'm sure they have a lot of incompetent shitheads, but that's likely just a display issue with their rushed patch shit to prevent new players from...

The odds of them having lost data is probably close to 0.

Lucky I play degen hours cause I'd be pretty pissed about missing all my dailies as EU, since it's already midnight. As long as they can get this shit back up in the next 10hours I should still be able to do them, although it sucks for my non daily stuff, could have gotten more done.

Pretty sure it's just their new server blocking shit just fucking up. Stupid shit though.

Oh I noticed that yesterday with some skills that had, as PoE calls it, name locking, but didn't know I could turn it off, nice. The option just below that is also very nice, it prevents you from switching to the gathering bar when you gather. So when you're gathering herbs/mining/logging, where...

Yeah I know now about abyss dungeon, it's just my bad for not checking the vendor, I put the mats in my chest and didn't bother checking. I have 1piece from the set that dropped directly and just thought it was a farm over time kind of thing rather than something you can switch to instantly, so...

I'm just watching Saintone first day videos to figure out what he was doing while I was playing, I see some aspects of stuff I didn't do, like upgrading my gear to purple with drops from abyssal dungeons, I only got like 12 or 15 currency or whatever and I assumed that wasn't enough to do...

Maxroll.gg has a lot of guides for a bunch of stuff, and when you have more doubts about something if you google you'll usually pull several videos explaining everything. There's just a lot of shit frontloaded which is why I spent hours last week just preparing things and making a shitty text...

No, although I have the books, the issue is I just can't really use them anyway, cause I'm using the 2 slots for class engraving. I guess I could use some worse accessories to only use one slot on class, and then get cursed doll/grudge on other slot and get it to 5 with accs once I find some...

I don't know, it took me like 25mins to download the game after I decided I didn't want to decrypt, and then got in instantly fine. Picked an empty server, made my char with my name which somehow wasn't taken ~30mins after servers were up, and played fine the rest of the time. That said I...

Yeah I played it a bit and figured it wasn't for me, there's just way too much shit to press constantly and keeping track of which stance you're in when you need to quickly switch to dodge out of something and stuff is too twitchy for my old hands.

Don't be an idiot like me and spend 20mins killing rats trying to get the skill point potion drop, only to find out it autocompleted with the power pass and that's why it's not dropping.

Man this 420 guardian is pretty brutal, tried several pubs and none of them could clear it, it's so fucking anti melee with the constant tail swipe, and if I get grabbed or someone else gets grabbed but my cds aren't up it seems no one breaks it and the person just dies. Ended up just farming...

I'm not sure I get when the daily reset is on EU, it should have been 1AM but stuff I used before 1AM(a couple of emotes and songs for rapport and guild donation) haven't reset yet. Also not entirely sure how you get these amethyst shards things, they're event specific, likely launch event for...

World record is like 9hours and game will only have been out for 9hours in 15mins or so, so very unlikely.

A lot of this is outdated or flat out wrong. Pet buffs are free to switch in our version, you don't even roll you always get max value and just select the stat. Mounts all have normalized speeds in our current version, some mounts have better "sprint" features but not sure the paying mounts are...

Numerous buff and power ups? Like what? Cards drop in the game, you get quite a lot every week, and you don't need THAT many to do endgame. I mean you can get 0.06% dmg per 2-3 cards you get endgame, but that's hardly something worth mentionning. Crystalline aura doesn'ty provide combat buffs...

Shit got kicked while I was raiding in FF, anyone knows how's the queue to login?

Yeah Arm's Length is VERY good against trash mobs, the attack slow lasts a fair bit and reduces their dmg output a ton(unless it's caster mobs then it doesn't do shit I think). Doesn't work on bosses(besides maybe some very low lvl ones in ARR) so for these it's only for kb immunity, which is...

Shit I kinda hurried for my char customization to check for my name asap and my hair is already annoying me lol.

Unpacking was slow so deleted, downloaded but it was also slow(sigh), just got in 30mins late, somehow Pyros wasn't taken on EU? Time to punch shit.

Yeah I'm fairly sure it will, honestly I think I'll just move the files out and download it again tomorrow, decrypting 57gb is going to take like 30mins, even if the download servers are slammed I doubt they'll be that slow. MH Rise was like 40gb and still took almost 20mins, I wasn't in a hurry...

Because ultimately it's still purely speculative, they haven't come out to say it'll work or not either way, they said they're looking into it and there's not much more to add to that, while the post had several people already taking that as the game definitely not launching tomorrow and such...

I don't think it's gonna be the case, but it seems they didn't set it up properly, Steam should fix it by then though, most likely, if that's the case. Someone on the forums pointed out that's why the game is encrypted instead of being installed like during Closed Beta where you could install...

On the list of other potential fuck ups, they "looking into" whether their setup with Steam will actually allow them to let people play tomorrow or not. It's apparently not quite a sure thing because of how they setup the game as DLC only and stuff.

Makes more sense though, and don't mind it. Honestly with the 100% upgrades, I think people would have reached T3 on maybe 2chars before weekly on west coast, which would be a somewhat substantial advantage. The way it is, you'll make it to T2 if you play a lot.

I don't know I think they fucked a bunch of stuff. If you check patch notes now, it says the part about upgrading has been removed cause it wasn't related to our version.

Yeah they came out 20mins later to say it wasn't actually like that. Don't know if they planned on doing it like that but couldn't figure out how to make it work(very possible) or they just had changed their plans but forgot about changing patch notes. But eh not complaining, saves a couple of...

Old news old man, you don't have to watch cutscenes anymore now, you just get the 2nd powerpass after you claim the first.

One fun fact about the power pass, if you level your alt manually first, you can power pass boost your main and it'll give you 302 gear instantly, instead of having to do shushire(it'll also autocomplete shushire msq, or it should at least). Saves like a couple of hours of questing, as long as...

It is somewhat disappointing yeah and a bit surprising too since they could have slow rolled it a bit without it feeling too bad, but I guess this way the first impression of the game once you reach 50 isn't "oh I failed my 80% upgrade 6times and I'm out of mats, well fuck this korean shit"...

Silver/gold fairly sure. Some KR screenshots don't have silver/gold shown at all on the window.

Yeah it's the standard catch up mechanic but it's a bit unexpected we get that right away, thought they'd milk leveling a bit more. That should make it really quick to progress. Other part I found interesting is they have some daily/weekly reset times in there for the world boss/ghost ship etc...

Na BDO combat is "twitchier" imo. The PvP in Lost Ark does have some reflex based shit and stuff as usual, since there's rolls and such, but overall the combat feels a bit simpler.

They did mention they already had servers ready to go to expand depending on how it goes, but I fully expect every launch server to be queues up the ass anyway. Big streamer or not, mind you, but those popular ones are especially going to be congested I'd assume, so personally I'm more aiming...

Gameplay loop is very different than BDO. BDO largely was "do your cooking boxes, tend to your fields, then grind trash mobs for x hours, maybe be forced to pvp at some point during that time". I know they added a dungeon so not sure about that part but overall that was the loop. Lost Ark loop...

But that's the thing, preloads are rarely "ready to go". They're usually encrypted, and once the game releases, the game files have to be decrypted, which takes quite a while. Depending on PC specs and internet specs, it can be faster to just download the game on the day of the release, rather...
