Lost Ark Online

Yeah it's like event currency, you can't get much atm but every time they've done prime shit they gave some, I expect they'll have some as reward for future events too, maybe new class release event(get class to x ilvl get some amethyst) or login event. Buys a bunch of crystalline aura days too so yeah they're not gonna give too much away too quickly.

Yeah you do. Doesn't take too too long, you can start by inviting everyone in your guild and shit, they can drop you and I think it still counts. I did it back when there was the big rush for it and ppl were constantly spamming "add me", only instead of spamming like a retard I was adding all the spammers, took like 5mins.

So patch notes are out, they're patching in Argos but no honing changes. Also PvP season doesn't start tomorrow but "later this month". Guess selling mats for the next 2weeks or whatever.

Prices on T3 mats are going to skyrocket from all the instant gratification Andys out there. I can't wait.

They jumped pretty hard on EUC already, 50-100% jump on most stuff. But yeah for now it's basically dead content for me. Only positive is people might be pushing 1370 and then kill Moake so I can maybe leech off that, not sure if I can hit with darkness bomb at 1340.

Yeah not a fan of the skins. Especially assassin ones, they for some reason they forgot pants on these. Like I don't need a skin for my shadowhunter to look like a cheap whore, it's literally every armor. And definitely would turn off helms on everything, fucking stupid skulls and shit.

Disappointed they're not starting pvp season right away though, I kinda enjoy the pvp in this but it feels kinda hollow without rewards. I do it for the weekly sometimes but wouldn't mind getting other mats too.

It's certainly quicker than I would have thought. With that being said, every single MMO recently released has been dead after two weeks. LA is keeping steady and a significant part of that is due to the amount of content that's available. Releasing Argos now is a smart move as it will keep that momentum going, especially since this will provide good content for streamers and such (which is drawing a huge audience on Twitch).

Kinda, although I think if they don't do the honing patch somewhat soon-ish, a lot of the casual playerbase will just leave after they get to T2 12-15 or into T3 and see they can't reasonably get to Argos without weeks/months of farming.

The gold botting is also probably a bigger issue than they expected, atm any new players will constantly see bots everywhere. Like FFXIV people complain when they see bots in Uldah and in some zones, but overall you only see them a little bit here and there, but currently you go to any server any pre Luterra area and it's just bots everywhere and barely any real players(after all a lot of ppl who roll alts just knowledge transfer to skip anyway). That and the obvious impact on the economy.

Back when they did the banwave last week, gold exchange actually stabilized and even climbed back from 850 to 700 per 100 blue crystals on EUC for example, but since then it dropped back and is now 1300g per. There's less whales than NA so the prices climb faster and it's kinda bad. You have shit selling for way more than it should sell and while I'm sure some of the buyers are legit players, sometimes you have to wonder. RMT gold is only 1k for .4euros atm based on the ads I see in the spam, which is a pretty substantial amount of gold for the money you spend. And that affects all spheres, yesterday I sold some green class books for 30g each and some blue ones for over 120g. It helps people are clueless and would rather pay 600g for 20green books instead of 600g to make a char then do a 5mins questline to get 30 of them and 10 blue books too, but still. T2 lvl 5 gems had dropped from 100g back when I hit T3 like 2weeks ago to around 50g last week, but are now back to 100g.

I do hope they unfuck the class release schedule though, having to wait potentially a year for classes like Scouter and Lancemaster to be added sounds quite fucking terrible. I'm quite enjoying Shadowhunter so I don't mind that much unlike ppl who want to main one of the missing classes, but I'd like to play them.
