Personally, I don't like Gatekeeping at all because if you're a roaster of level 150 or lower, you're not accepted into any Endgame Raid. You end up stuck in the older raids where you get less gold and lower roaster levels. It's not friendly at all to new players. I returned to the game some time ago, and even though I learned all the mechanics of a raid, it took me more than 2 days to get into one, while learning the mechanics only took me 20 minutes.

Simple answer is no

i been saying this since i started playing and the community treated me like absolute garbage for it. luckily i quit so i don't have to deal with that toxicity anymore. i really do miss controlling my characters and i'm always lookin for a reason to come back. But there isn't one cause any changes are way too little, way too late.

Remove timegate on all content. Unlimited gold earnings however much you're willing to be it spamming valtan runs on a high level char when u want or having a static willing to spam harder raids. Then u could push any character when u want if you are willing to and people who don't have the time but want it can pay, Or some people can do a mix of playing alot and spending a little. Also new players could catch up that way if they wanna play alot. This way they could stop using free stuff as a weak bandage for people also and stoppin making jailers with mokoko passes by putting them to only lvl 302 at vern so they actually learn the game the same way everyone else did, which would add more content in a way by revitalizing old content that was really fun. Also it would be worth it to help lower levels and new players since you'll still get a reward for it and not feel stress to get dailies or weeklys done since u can do it anytime as much as u want, when u want.

i wanna play still even though i quit after 7k hours. but i also don't wanna hate myself or deal with the miserable community or timegated content. predatory game thats unrewarding that sadly ruined one of the best combat and character control that could've turned into one of the best games of all time but didn't cause of greed.

7k hours, without a static i spent months joining discords for an akkan learner and everyone was brainwashed and in their own world that revolves around korea. it was miserable. quitting was the best thing i ever did in my life. it's predatory, addictive, and extremely unrewarding. You can't grind to catch up even if you want to cause everything is timegated. all the amazing maps and world are bypassed by anyone who didn't play from the beginning so 90% of the game is obsolete and unplayed now. It's just an endless loop of lobby simulator each week with no other way to progress. The solo mode seems useful for people who are sick of the toxic community. But it's way too little, waay too late and significantly less rewards. Making a mode without raid wipes woulda been much better for the game and many new players to actually play with others. and mokoko passes ruin the game. But since progress is timegated and you can't grind to catch up, it's the only other thing they could think of doing. Terrible. I'm extremely sad that the best combat and character control enjoyment i've ever tried is linked to this casino disguised as an mmorpg.

From combat pov alone, this game lacks diversities such as you're unable to fully customize your skills set, for instance, instead of fixed set of tripods line 1,2,3 .. they should allows you to choose and arranges your own personal skill tree line 1/2/3 from almost every skills available and more of these skills should be updates, added over time, meaning you could create unlimited combinations and very own distinguished skills set for better gameplay that suits your style, build etc.

Should i pick up this or New World? Or wait for AGS to release Blue Protocol?

Ignite servers releasing with tier 4 in October makes zero sense to me from a marketing perspective because zero new players will get to enjoy ark passive, which is the main attraction for tier 4. The only players that will be able to enjoy it relatively soon are the bleeding edge players in legacy servers (you need aegir ancient accessories to start noticing the dmg difference from tier 3). That being said maybe ignite servers do something crazy and they truly go ham with how fast they push that 1 character to end game.

No

Number 4 that kept the game alive: b00bas. I had to get used to mouse movement instead of W,A,S,D coming from WoW.

not really, unless you have friends , time or wallet. The core issue of this game still stay the same : super grindy , very hard raid and toxic playerbase with support issues . Playing solo is decent but 100% bound gold reward from it suck

Every time I log in this game Im constantly torn between thinking its the best game (combat wise) designed, while inside the raids and then looking at all the systems outside the combat + the constant lobby simulator and asking myself why I am doing this to myself. This is even more exacerbated by the fact that I dont really spend money on the game (outside the Ark passes) and doing my daily 12 CDs and 6 GRs somewhat diligently. Just seeing self-proclaimed "F2P" people with a roster of multiple 1640+ characters with full 10s etc. is simply infuriating. The fact that so many of the endgame raiders are RMTing, using Chaos bots and stuff like that just makes the entry barrier for the raids and actually being able to afford a lot of the systems a lot harder than it should be and imo is a punch in the face for all the players that arent cheating. I hope that AGS and SG will actually combat this in the future but looking at what they did so far I dont think this will happen. However, for me the fun that the combat and raid encounters provide outweighs the negatives that come from the game itself or the black sheep in the community that play it. There simply isnt another game which has such an insane combat as Lost Ark for me. This is also why I still think that this game could become a lot more popular if the obvious issues with it (the main one being the entry barrier for new/casual players) would be alleviated or outright fixed. I hope that they will build upon the success of recent changes such as the solo-raids and give casual players more options to enjoy the game, rather than dropping it after being rejected from 99% of the parties. Thank you for the nice video and have a wonderful day o/

no new players shouldn't play lost ark... as soon as they join they will be tossed at the endgame raids and game will be too hard for them to play.

stay away, typical p2w korean mmo where u need to play 6 character or ur gold income is 0 and if you are a new player good luck getting into raids, noone let you in and the world outside these raids is dead, no activities to do unless u like fishing (pressing "g" every 15sec) xD. this ship will not stop sinking, devs have no intention of changing/fixing crappy systems, eventually they'll close servers.

Another follower of cult of the bald man lol

Would love to try this game if they fix the gatekeeping. In FF14 for example you get rewarded for helping new players

T4 is the same systems grind and p2w stuff , if u wanna have a life dont play this game , is either u lose all ur time/life or pay to get maxed

if they accomodate a 3 character roster instead of 6, while giving slightly lower mats and gold. It will be a huge win. 6 characters is just too much for many people

Great video king

It's impressive to be back without being back. Raids are too fun thst. I haven't quit yet but I definitely ger crap about wanting to play every night.

lets be real if players went to T4 they would struggle in the raids, theres so much mechanical depth and complexity compared to the old raids that time in T3 for a newbie is probably good

Just a thought that came to me while you talked about skill cooldowns. I tried games like Destiny 2, where you have 1-2 skills with to me seemingly arbitrary cooldown, just slapping something on it, doesn't really feel like it has anything to do with pacing. In Lost Ark it makes or breaks the game, it feels really really good. On the other note I see people talking about playing with friends. During clown release era, I made most of my friends in this game, which they have quit over time, after hm brel release, and with my burnout some ventured to play with other people, and I'm almost stuck alone, if not for making a good friend at Akkan release. That still doesn't make up for the void of missing 6 other people like that you could just hit it off with and fuck around in raids. I miss them a lot.

I have a lot of time in this game, the solo raids are great. An update I would like is if at least 50% gold for soloraids was not bound. Also release all raids as solo for the west. The groupfinder is unusable for casual😊 solos

ill keep playing till monster hunter wilds releases

The combat/raids are fun, all the rest is utter dog shit systems stacked ontop of each other

There are way too many systems right now. In T3 it felt like there were a lot of systems but they were achievable. West just got to complete them all and now we are back on the treadmill. Its too much too soon for us. I don't know why people were pushing so hard to get on KR's content cadence. It was a huge mistake.

The answer is no. Lost Ark T4 is even more p2w than ever. And they really have NOT added anything fun. Ask any Lost Ark loser what’s fun about T4, they literally would not be able to answer. There’s one shitty raid, more shitty progression systems, if you were at the top end of t3 you now have a GIGA grind and half the classes got shafted and or are legit shit (looking at you Slayer, Aeromancer, Reaper, Glaive, etc) except breaker/SE (the new ones) and I guess EO and Sorc. Great video though Juk, always a pleasure and I hope some more TFD content comes through!

Game is getting better and better - playing in pugs or static is both a really good experience for me for the last couple of months. Ofcourse I will keep playing! The Game is really enjoyable, can’t understand people who would claim to quit or not return.

No. Good evening gentleman

I'm sorta looking forward to the ignite(?) servers coming just to see if I can drag a few victims--er friends into the trying to play. Cause currently I no longer have any friends left again and I'm barely motivated to do even solo modes. Solo modes need to be expanded more for me to want to keep going at this point. Basically just gonna see how Kayangel goes and go from there since I don't have like 7 people to drag in. I feel Kayangel isn't so bad the first time around, so we'll see.

This game is unplayable without friends. Progging raids with friends is the only thing keeping me playing.

You've convinced me dude. I'm quitting Lost Ark 🤗

Hey so the dung thing they said its being changed to allow diferent boxes for diferent player and the modifier are now fixed to 100/150/200/250 or something along those numbers to allow matchmaking .

Which build did you decide on

This is pointless rant, because you ranting about game that is free to play, this is the fate of every free to play business model MMORPG. The game is going to grindy, repetitive if not pay to win or progressive faster.

you know the biggest issue is that sg/ags gave players gun but they (players) reloaded it and started blasting - We can speedrun raid without los30 or full 10s gems. Community is bigger problem than sg but dont forget that raids are toxic af aswell . Normal modes should have fewer wipe mechs, give less amounts of loot but at least let me proggress (im looking at you purple elixirs). On top of that this f game lacks mmo feeling, im so ashamed of myself that i love combat and class design cuz this is the only thing that keeps me entertained (all progression systems sucks beside tripods lmao)

i come from WoW and i Still play WoW... and i play lost ark also from day 1 with tons of breaks... cuz u get burned out in this game rly easy.. i reached 1600 on 4 chars and i just dont wanna do elixirs or transcendace down the line.. anything that dsnt involve gameplay and takes THAT much time is garbage shoudnt exist imo, honeslty those 2 systems alone makes me wanna quit... i just play lost ark casually doing solo raids and some on grp finder but it gets tedious doing it with many chars a week.. Still i dont have LoS 30 with 2.5k hours in this game, im on LoS 26 and getting gatekept like fk ton.. And one last thing.. Raids Are WAAAAAAAAY too Punishing.. 1 guy dead whole grp resets etc etc... i feel like we have talked about all the known issues so many times but they just dont listen.

my first day when i didnt finished all daily on my alts was horrible(i felt like its gonna make me so behind ) but its ok now , I mosty foucus on one dps and one sup and rest of my 9 alts i care only if i want to it was process tho game is addicting and also time consuming

I would want like over 4 character in t4 that I dont play in t3, but I dont have nowhere near enough resources to do so. Hope that next new class release will come with a t4 event powerpass. Solo gold should all be bound to account and like 80% of the normal amount or be able to chose 0 mats and 100% bound gold, idk. Also, I saw many new players, but many dont have trusted status after the changes, so they cant use powerpass. They should just let you bound a phone number to a account and get trusted after and stay like that. Transcendence would be cool to be silver only or maybe time gated and be free

Honestly, I think they should get rid of the 6x roster raids alts system, as it's become so expensive to keep up to date on your main. Alts are dead for me, i have no plans of getting transcendence for them. Not touching that hell of a mini game on my alts. I can't decide if I'm happy about t4. I don't know if I'm excited about it. I think in our region, we seem more afraid of t4 than anything. One thing that worries me though is that we are moving onto t4 with the old issues(gatekeeping, support issues etc). These problems are going to affect us way more than they will impact the Korean playerbase. I'm just gonna remain cautiously optimistic about the outcome of t4. If it turns out well for us, we have a game to play. If it doesn't, there's other games.

I think they need to make a more casual raiding mode that dont require insane investment like it is right now in the party finder. Game is too hard and on top of RNG from elixir and trancendence are litterally killing the game in the West now. They should also add more solo content in the future. Taking this game easy is the correct decision , no one have a decent life can play like manica that have a 2nd job.

rested raids would solve alts burnout on anyone that cannot play hardcore

Kr may be able to split their (more healthy) playerbase between T3 and T4 and slowly let it progress to T4 but you can't with our version of the game, it's a death warrant. Behemot requiring 16 players is also going to make a lot of damage to the health of the game and on top of it they announced Aegir for October, only one month after T4 and Behemot's releases. It's insane, it's a absolutely insane schedule release. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with the new director who is actually try harding the game, with the QoL announcement for the August patch and the incoming modifications to the global version but at this point it's make or break for me. If those changes are superficial and doesn't address the core issues of the global version, I'm done.

In the end the community will be the group that kills the game, since gatekeeping is getting so much worse every single new content drop. For all my alts i usually need to support trade with friends to even get into lobbys. If they add a DPS ingame meter or smth that will just increase gatekeeping even more.

Idk how they expect us to even properly Progress in t4 aside from Our Mains,doing trans on Up to 5 More alts ? 250k each, weapon trans on Main 500k+ , advanced and normal Honing on main and advanced Honing on alts. Like i dont wanna abandon my 1640 alts but i dont see how you can sustain a decent full 1640 Roster besides swiping. Never in the timeline ive felt so overwhelmed With the amount of gold sink systems It was Always Just Honing which was alright but having 3 insane gold sinks from 1620-1640 (Not even counting elixirs anymore) while all 1620s Go to 1640 for free in t4 is Just so Bad especially because behemoth has only a DPS Check and nothing else attached to it meaning atleast trans will be required. Imma be honest elixirs are a fine system With all the Changes and silver ones we got but i aint doing trans on 5 More chars, its a huge boring time waste and gold waste, they shouldve focused More on Something Like advanced honing instead of this Minigame bs eating Up your gold in t4. The issue is that these systems are a requirement to enter raids while taking way too much time and gold, honing in general should imo always be the priority and main gold sink like how it was up until voldis, having 1-2 at max gold sinks aside from it are from like current elixirs with maybe adv honing but trans on armor and wep with behemoth is just wayyyy too much and super unfun.

A lot of streamers say people love the raids but people can't get in to them. This is hard copium. The raids are too hard and people don't have time to waste learning them. They are too hard if they are not why is the game dead?

When comparing shit to shit Transcendence > Elixirs imo. Both these systems still need drastic changes if they wanna push people to tier 4 because without 100 trans min and 40 set youll just be getting gatekept beyond 1620.
