They need to announce the following at winter Loa On or the game is doomed: Solo Thaemine and solo Echidna Alcyon Eyes dropping from Echidna NM Huge honing nerfs to 1620 Honing costs nerf from 1640 onwards, that sht is WAY too expensive atm Complete revamp of elixirs and trans, costs silver only New sup class and complete revamp of sup gameplay Aegir NM lowered to 1640, HM 1660
Hey, again thanks for the video :) Was just talking with my friend about this yesterday! EVEN IF the honing costs were reduced by 50% it would be hard for the players to reach endgame content! Im helping a returning player get into T4, but when he was tapping, i REALLY was shocked about the amount of gold needed for him to run this content! Its insane. He's lucky to have books help him reach higher itemlvl, but its still waaaaaay to expensive. Without cost reduction, it feels like alle we can ever hope of doing in Lost Ark is raid, raid, raid. You need to keep up with gold, to be able to play new content. No horizontal, no helping new players, no chill stronghold parties or whatever would be possible. If you want to keep up, you have to earn gold. Its really sad and i hope there will be changes about this in the Future. Like for example more gold in raids. 15k bound Gold and 5k unbound or sth for things like Ivory tower. I want to feel some way of Progression after a raid and not wonder where my 150k gold went, just because i tapped my twink to 1620 with full bound materials
Yea people think that lowering honing costs will magically solve the game issues. If the core problem is not fixed whatever system they revamp or nerf is not gonna solve anything.
Trans and Elixir needs a rework, and badly. I’ve completely shafted all my alts and sold their gems, it’s just too expensive to raise another character in T4, for me personally at least.
elixirs and transcendence should be roster wide. once you are done with trancendence, youjust poay some gold and the dark fires to unlock it on alts elixirs: once you made one good version, you can save it in some sort of storage and use the materials and some gold to apply it to your new alt i have two more alts who need both systems applied and looking towards the time and gold that will be consumed, i dont want to do it currently
I may be a masochist, but I love Lost Ark. This week I will finish armor transcendence on my 5 alts and then I'm working on swapping all the bound T3 gems for level 5 T4 gems. It helps in party finder to get accepted and gives a bit of atk pwr. After that comes honing my main from 1670 - 1680, then 5 alts from 1640 - 1660 all while finishing weapon transcendence and elixirs. It's A LOT to get done, but at this point I know what to expect and the cost. I'm hoping to hear good things from the next LOA ON.
It all comes down to 25 wipe mechanics per encounter with NO REZ tokens on normal mode for even New players to learn the raid and enjoying it before the try something more challenging. Gate keeping is BY DESIGN to pressure people to PAY FOR GOLD INSTEAD OF EARNING IT. Smilegate gatekeeps you from players by making things extra hard even on normal so players gatekeep you from content. Then the toxic cycle continues while they make bank.😂
may i ask in 6:32 this pic of elixir can u translate it or explain what is it ? is it tips to get 40 set ? give me link to it i really need to go from 35 to 40 im stuck in 35 lol
The sections that are highlighted in yellow are the elixir options that they recommend you take. Don't just blindly pick the same options as the chart shown though, pick the options that help you towards getting a good elixir and avoid the ones that don't help you.
I have a 1 class roster and t4 helped me to catch up to everyone. It's going smooth so far but i'm waiting to see how karma system affects my roster. I'm enjoying it so far. Easy raids that I can finish up in two days and just play other games until weekly reset. This has been the most relaxing period so far for me, progression wise. I feel bad for my friends who have 6dps roster because it's just too expensive for f2p. You really have to swipe in order to have 6 different dps in t4. 😢
idm elixers now since its practicaly free now and is 5x faster given that we get to one ... for me two full lvl 7 trans takes as long as one full 40 set so in the end it takes more than twice as long my mental boom maxes out doing trans on an alt support just so they can do 1620/1630 content that wasnt built for hyper skills and hyper awakenings Before you got a flat damage 3.5% buff for supports pants (and 3% from the 3 person pants buff so 6.5% total kinda) now you get a total buff of just around 4.5% from 100 armor trans The incremental differnces are literally its impossible for you to notice 99.99% of the time untill yourself at top of the mvp screen with a number that might be 1 or 2% higher than without still you'll get gatekept since its normal for your dps to expect you to have 100 trans or even 120 trans beacuse that 150k on weapon trans is worth them getting an extra 1% damage (0.5% raid damage) 2% max 2.25% in an 8 man raid is not the differnce maker its people haveing hands in the first place to hit for 30+ mill at 1640 which i can do with my 40 trans ignite dps
i did switch to only 1 character as 1680. all alts which are 2 right now and 1 is from ignite server, will probably stay 1640 because as u said its too expensive. id like to lvl up 1 class to 1620 but its just not cheap. also all these different systems are very hard to pass by if u try to enhance a character. the rng of elixirs and transcendence is very annoying and many ppl dont want to do it because of that. getting to the baseline - which should be t4 - needs to be easier.

@@cristhiangomez4712 and gatekeeping potential customers are a good way of making money? Don't know if you know but if you have to customers you can't make any money
imo the biggest issue is that they progress game but don’t reduce honing cost for what used to be endgame honing aka the mentioned 1600 to 1620/30. how come the honing cost isn’t reduced but the older raids in that item level threshold already have reduced gold acquisition? if the raid gives less gold then the honing cost should be reduced as well right? instead, they only nerf gold from raids but don’t nerf honing cost which is really predatory and a huge oversight on smilegate
I’ve reduced my roster because I do not want to transcendence on more characters. I’d spend the gold to build them but transcendence takes way too long just in raw time. Elixirs took a long time too.
yes they should nerf the cost from 1600-1620, it's too old content. And the main think i want they fix is advanced honing. Most of 1600-1620 is want to reach 1620 fast and transfer to t4 so they r not doing advanced honing on t3 anymore. And the advanced honing on t4 is ridiculous expensive. In NA if you dont have at least + 10 advanced honing, honing from 1640 to 1660 is really hard, and even 1660 is not good enough for new raid ( gate keeping) . For me Elixir is good now since we could choose 1 option, but trans still damn expensive, it cost like 50-80k gold for 1 lvl 7 piece,and if you want to join a lobby, good luck if your trans is under 100 xD
I mean throne and liberty isn't very popular in kr because it's not p2w enough, I find lost ark so weird because it's 50% gameplay and 50% swiping, of course you could go f2p, but you need like minded people for that
After T4 release for a week, I realised all my alt is useless and is gatekept by 1610 and low trans. I quit, return to ff14 for healthier vertical progression system. Akkan and Thaemine is best moment I felt. But not for T4 release in western side. I came in with a group of 8 ready for raid but group falls apart bit by bit and I was the last of us, played alone with pug for 4 whole months. I was doing fine with 1620 main and 5 1610 alts. Then T4 releases, It hits hard and I stuck with 1640 main which can't hone any further and 1610 alts which is gatekept or lobby sim. It was tiring experiences. Goodbye lost ark and thanks for a good times. I wish to come back if most of the problem solved. Raid design and gameplay is top notch but the progression isn't well thought imo. PS: 2000hr on record and over 400 dollars spent.
They need to kill the old system. In my opinion, the game need hard reset like ss2. Kill the old system and create a new one, a better one. Transcendent and elixir are BS. Smilegate need to find a way to fix it. Even the hardcore player tired to playing the game.
The barrier of entry getting too high. Harder and harder to keep up, start new characters, or get new players to join. Game should be easier to get into current content and more consistently moving the window up with new content. Let whales whale going beyond current content.
I got called regarded by the face of Lost Ark in the west for saying Elixirs are still too punishing and the IT raid doesn't give enough gold to even cut the ones you get. I am not sure what the KR veteran's views are on new/returning players, but the west sure seems to not care what feedback they have.
give gold to npc for trans and elixirs not timeeeee fix this system and have fun with friends in raid but no no no smilegate jailed us and make hate trans and elixir window wasting time i see more people near npc than raids so why u lack sup or dps classes bcs people opening game and going to npc. -HATING- and who playing trans mini game? AI.

elixirs and transcendence should be roster wide.
once you are done with trancendence, youjust poay some gold and the dark fires to unlock it on alts
elixirs: once you made one good version, you can save it in some sort of storage and use the materials and some gold to apply it to your new alt
i have two more alts who need both systems applied and looking towards the time and gold that will be consumed, i dont want to do it currently
Thanks for showing tactics for elixir.

Good thing I don't care about upgrading my gear and just spend all my gold on costumes! 😎
Trans is great gold vs power ratio and minigames aren't that bad. BUT they take WAYYYY to long to finish

They either need to be removed or heavily simplified
