It took me exactly 58 seconds to cringe. "We don't know if he was reborn as a girl or a boy.", "men who were born with great power believed they could cage darkness itself. The arrogance." Starting to pour drinks now to make this more tolerable. Minute 5 is true to the source material at least...

Glad you enjoyed this the second time around! LA is NW in reverse: the start really blows and the world feels small and slow but the end game has an insane amount of depth / fun / things to do. It's certainly not for anyone seeking an ARPG experience though and is 100% MMO. A lot of those...

Short version? You're trying to use the level 2 version of the skill book when you first need to complete the level 1 version of the skill book. Each versions require 20x of the books to unlock before you'll be able to use them on your rings, so there's a natural progression and makes it so the...

Yes, you'll be upgrading that gear for the remainder of beta to increase your ilvl (can also use the shop to speed up quite a bit). Engravings come from jewelry slots as well as from your ability stone. The recipes drop / come from a myriad of places (as well as being tradeable on the AH)...

Kind of. Sywo absolutely loves Lost Ark and his energy for the game can't be denied. With that being said, he falls deftly into the weird category for me in that, he actually enjoys leveling up and watching the cutscenes for the 5000th time. Look at the character he's leveling to 50 again as...

Continue the MSQ in Vern since it won't take long to unlock your power pass to automatically be able to level a 50. At that point, on the class you're thinking of maining; 1- Unlock engravings, the tower, Abyssal dungeons, & your first ability stone via the guide quests that will be available...

It's a wiped beta. No one is behind on anything and investing too much time into this is silly. The goal is to figure out if you're interested in playing another 'on the rails' MMO that has dailies. LA is incredibly polished with a metric fuckton of things to do and is very easily the best MMO...

1- Skip all non MSQs until you reach Arthentine, at which point you start doing side quests with the exception of the one that sends you to an optional dungeon. 2- Spend points in whatever provides further dash distance and skip entirely all npc killing that isn't part of the MSQ or where you...

I really dislike the early game and find that it makes jumping into the game rather challenging. They've reworked the tutorials a bunch but really, there's only so much that you can do without access to a maxxed out tripod or two and the more core skills which unlock later on. With that being...

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...
