@@dominikr3404 playing diablo 4 currently, and yes I'm aware it has its own issues. But with the freedom I'll also be playing remnant 2 and armored core over the next few months
They'll find one, cope about it, spend 12k in-game on micro-transactions. Then get mad about the game and quit. That's true "Gigga Cuck" behavior right there.
I watched some of Sywo's content in the early Lost Ark days and I respected his optimism and how positive he was about all the mechanisms put into Lost Ark to limit players. I tasted it after nearly 200hrs and was done with the game. I'm quite impressed it took Sywo 4500hrs to finally quit.
5700+ hours here in Lost Ark and Sywo's thoughts as to why he quit pretty much match mine. I never thought I was gonna quit either but my WoW chores already take a bit of time and I wanna spend the rest of it playing other games not doing another set of chores in another MMO.
games like lost ark were built with those time limiting systems as a requirement for the game to run in foreign countries because some places, like Korea, people will actually lose that much self control the climate here isn't the same, lol
14:45 Or go to a Rob Zombie concert and it turns out after the first song he played you have to pay extra for the second song, then the third song so on and so forth.
damn i love sywo, been watching the guy mainly for aion content for years. Amazing to see that asmon reacts to him so he can get traffic, he deserves it! such a nice guy
To me was a combionation of the chores and the gatekeeping. I had a fixed group that did all the content every week, and that always went fine. I wasn't the highest ilvl, I didn't have the best gems, but I put effort into increasing combat stats and really cared about optimizing damage rotations, which always made me outdps my teamates with higher ilvl and better weapons by a longshot, my teammates always treated me as the MVP. But then, there was always my next 5 alts, where people had no ideia of my good gameplay history, and I constatly got rejected. Finding groups was always a chore, doing the raids with people who gave up after a few failures was always a chore, and when I wanted to organize alt runs with my group was also always a chore. Eventually I just burned up and gave up playing.
I quit Lost Ark, when I was making my schedule for bussing, raids, dungeons, reward rotations, catching the bus for world bosses, islands, chaos gates, then I realized how sick I've become, my mind is always "I've to get on the computer, I still got dailies, I can't skip or I can't catch up"... but enough of that bullshit, I'm quitting. However, I do miss the people that I've met in the game. To you guys out there, even though I don't join your runs anymore, not sure if you are still playing Lost ark or not, wish you all to live the best of your life.
Not that crazy i would say for a streamer, in that year i worked 12 hours night shifts and i still got like 2,5k hours on steam and i played from release until the end of 2022.
I'm 1500 and I only go to Valtan. I paid bus for Vykas for the set and never came back again. Why? Because Vykas Gate 3 has 10 wipe mechanics and every players mistake cost you time, items, mental health, etc.
About the f2p players are always bellow players who spend money. Just remind that even Gold River said they can't give LoS to people because the people who bought the card set would feel cheated. If the game CEO agrees with that don't even try to reason around it.
He ends up being part of the products the game sales, you are paying to beat a guy that has been playing for thousands of hours and the bragging rights that come with it. Just pay! That's not a bug, it's a feature.
I have like 4000 hours in Skyrim and like 5000 hours in The Witcher 3. I'm ashamed of that. So much time wasted. I loved every single minute of it, but that isn't normal.
4.5k hours here, I have all hell clears in the west right now, I still do reclears for fun. My main char has been ready for akan normal for ages, If i dont wanna do raids i dont do em, I have chaos and guardians rested like 3 months and I don't give a fuck, I don't do unas because fck em.. I have spent a total amount of 150€ in the game (platinum pack + lost ark passes) and I have 400k gold sitting because I have nothing to do with it, I could raise my main character to akan hard, or more chars to akan normal, of course I could. But doing more than 1 akan on release won't be fun. Game for sure needs a change for new people, but I can't understand 4k hours players needing to do chaos daily in all characters then calling the game a job because they need their 14 characters on akan normal by release... you should consider take the game less like a job and more like fun..
The playerbase has dropped so dramatically over 200k players since January. Probably half bots but still a lot. Almost down to New World levels of bleeding players. Pretty sad
To be clear: in P2W games especially Korean MMOs you will be absolute trash unless you spend A LOT. I am talking thousands of dollars. ArcheAge was a lot of fun for me as F2P but there were limits to what I could do. The whales could wipe out 40 of us with a group of 5 players. There were players in my raid that did pay, they paid a few hundred though not thousands. There was almost no limit to how powerful you could get by paying in ArcheAge. But I loved the gliders, the ship battles, fishing, trade routes, the land system (that most players hated). Anyways I tried Lost Ark and while I liked the game play I walked away cause I didn't feel like spending big bucks...and that game was one I wasn't gonna enjoy without forking over $$$.
I agree. I played 30hours.. and I was still busy with quests so I quit. I did play 6 years of BDO but its the same now because stuff is hidden behind quests and quest and quests.. I did get rng carried on BDO and got double V Blackstar as a free to play but I don't want to do quests
You're still not too late to grab that free J hammer. you could sell it on market for like 40billion. (just don't be making alts to get more, they will ban you).
He'd be 45% of the way to being recognised as a master in any skill in the world had he taken it up at the same time with as much effort - instead it's 4.5k hours of memories only 🥲The life we gamers lead
True, I mean if he _enjoyed_ the time he spent playing it, the comparison would be less meaningful, but he _didn't even enjoy it_ so it's even worse lmao. I'd rather spend 4.5k hours learning damn near anything then playing a game-job.
Just played 3 weeks at launch ... Could not stand with the idea of farming the whole week, to seek your mats disappear because RNG does not want me to upgrade while others do EXACTLY the same thing, but RNG makes them go higher. Pointless and predator system, P2W as fuck. Went back to BDO and I love to see how now my game finally gets some love.
@@laurentpecriaux1345 "rng" I never assume these games have tru pseudo-rng, Im always skeptical so I always assume its fixed. cause fk those companies (not the devs)
I probably have that many hours in Fallout. The series. Bro deserves to play a game and have fun. No chance you play Lost Ark that long and still enjoy it.
I like gaming, but every time I think about the strategic, longer play games I think this... If could spend a huge amount of hours learning to play such a game. Then, let's say I lose after that time. I will start again and perhaps learn from my mistakes, only to fail again after devoting a bunch of time again. I may keep learning things about the game, but what have I actually learned about life? Is there something else I could devote my time to that would enrich my life outside of a game? Life has to happen, though there are moments we can play.
The fact even Sywo gets rejected from groups off stream just makes me laugh, glad I got out when I did. It feels so good to see the writing on the wall with a game and be justified.
Guys stay please! it’s only gonna be 10 more years till we retrieve the last remaining ark! A decade will finish in no time, just gotta have the stamina. It’s free 2 pay….. I mean play people! Just think about all the memories we will all share in 10 years time. Asmon only spent 12k, think what we could accomplish in 10 years.
I played for a straight 3 months since the game launched, then quit and never went back.. i found it to be too repetitive and didn't really trust the publisher (can't even say the name of the publisher or RUclips would delete my comment).
I quit that game after level 45 at early release time, i dont know about now but at that time you can level 45 within like 27 hours. I’m impressed that guy carry on play for 4500h.
Yes you can pay $10k plus and get an advantage. The average player won't gain much spending $1k, unless they bought character slots wtih them. Having tons of alts gave a huge advantage for a very long time and put people ahead. Then they could make a large amount of money by bussing. Average players don't fit in either category, so they get either take bus or get gate kept. So many in my guild quit because they felt it became an unrewarding job. The game creates FOMO.
Yeah I noticed 18 hours into the game that it was on that bs. Havent touched it since the second week of the western release. Huge let down. As someone who wasn't going to drop any cash on it at all
Remember the good old days when MMOs had no pay to win mechanics? I don't because even the early days you just buy another account and /follow to power level your other toons and make money lol.
Quit the game after 3600 hours rost of 1560/1590s and all of Sywo's points are valid. Furthermore, the only cash shop albeit predatory that I wanted the Yoz's jar for the best skins in the game are still not released in the west after 1.5 years of release. AGS cannot be allowed to publish games.
Rofl, Sywo was one of the people I listen to and got convinced to give Lost Ark a chance despite my concern about the usual mmo problematics (not to speak of the P2W element). It only took me a couple months or so barely to realize that yeah, after the main story and what you can enjoy solo, it's just the same shit as usual. I think Sywo was naive (and me believing him) when he said that you can fully enjoy the game without spending on it. It's good he gave up eventually.
RIP Lost Ark. I miss playing my blonde sexy girl with skimpy outfit gunslinger, really cool and badass class. Hope some game pickup those gameplay in the future.
I know how he feels, i have over 50000 hours of work time over 20 years. I want to quit too.😢

Remember the good old days when MMOs had no pay to win mechanics? I don't because even the early days you just buy another account and /follow to power level your other toons and make money lol.
It’s really funny that lost arc has a social credit
People forget why they play, is it sad ? Yes. Is it being dumb ? Maybe ...
Quit the game after 3600 hours rost of 1560/1590s and all of Sywo's points are valid. Furthermore, the only cash shop albeit predatory that I wanted the Yoz's jar for the best skins in the game are still not released in the west after 1.5 years of release. AGS cannot be allowed to publish games.
I have almost 2 hours on lost ark. Pkayed it long enough to realize i didnt like the game.
can i have ur stuff?
19:50 sywo has 3 Real Life Alts then, so he can enjoy his Main more.
why people even consider playing lost ark i tried playing it but there was like 4 times more bots than real player like wtf
usualy games with high potential are crushed by company greed
It’s like kicking a brick wall trying to compete as a free to play player
How did he play Lost Ark with 2 kids and a job.
right, microtransactions over his family needs.
If you watched the video he literally stated he didn’t spend money.

Congrats on 2M!! 🎉
rich w campbell megacancelled, otk hid him in some basement or something till everyone forgets...sad world we live in
We all like to hate League. But. It wasn't pay to win and still had a transaction aspect to it. That would be perfect for these types of situations
Rofl, Sywo was one of the people I listen to and got convinced to give Lost Ark a chance despite my concern about the usual mmo problematics (not to speak of the P2W element). It only took me a couple months or so barely to realize that yeah, after the main story and what you can enjoy solo, it's just the same shit as usual. I think Sywo was naive (and me believing him) when he said that you can fully enjoy the game without spending on it. It's good he gave up eventually.
RIP Lost Ark. I miss playing my blonde sexy girl with skimpy outfit gunslinger, really cool and badass class. Hope some game pickup those gameplay in the future.
I have about 1000 collective days /played in eso across 3 platforms and 5 accounts. that's at least 24000 hours minimum.
i would love to see an hour long documentary about lost ark
Spending 4500 hrs doing anything should be worthwhile, not trying to practically free play a pay to win game.
