    For context on it being a big deal to Koreans at around 2:15 , that idea stems from constant political tension. A year or two ago, Korea allowed the US to set up anti-missile radar systems (THAAD) after receiving threats from North Korea. China wasn't happy about it, claiming the radar system could be used to spy on China.
    China has been banning imports, the most recent of which has been the banning of Micron chips. China is the biggest market for South Korea semiconductors, so companies like Samsung and SK are feeling the heat.
    Korea's economy unfortunately depends on imports from China, so it's in a tricky spot. So yeah, lots of Koreans who are not happy with China right now.

      China is in a tight spot because of the US (read US and its allies) imposed restrictions and not the other way around. The current short term obstacle is China's blockage of major semiconductor metals exports, which causes a temporary rut in Japan/SK's production lines. However, this is not the blow that China thinks it is, because unlike ASML's exclusivity, rare and heavy metals production pipeline can be fixed with logistics in little time.

      The business model of Lost Ark Online could potentially work in Southeast Asia, but it would need to be adapted to the local market. The game is currently free to play in North America, Europe and Japan, but it would likely need to be priced differently in SEA. The exchange rate between the KRW and USD would make the game more expensive for SEA players, so the price would need to be enough to be accessible to a wider range of people. Also other than PvE aspect of the game, this game could possibly pop off competitively could possibly create monetary value from both players and publisher if marketed and planned right. I think it is a bad assumption that SEA gamers has no buying power, when I've played mobile games. Microtransactions there cost 90USD - 272USD for starters and this is based on experience.

    Gatekeeping is the one of the main reason why I've haven't gotten back to lost ark. Takes too long to get into a room if I'm at item level or with not full relic gear at that point I could play like 2 games of X game by the time I get into a room.

Just drop the player in front of the guardian, that's what they're all there for.

    For middle users to catch endgame, which is making 1350-1450 chars 1550+ fast is increasing honing chances for this 1350-1450 iLvl range. And for every new raid, keep the honing chances normal but increase them by a large margin after 3 months the raid came out so everybody can experience them.

The issue is that they nerfed gold income from old raids(done by middle users) but ONLY nerfed honing costs. You still need 80-400k for Legendary engravings depending on class/choice, another 100k gold for mediocre accs to hit 5x3, then horizontal farm for XP/Legendary and epic Runes.

    As long as there's these many daillies and that absurd amount of rng, even for a korean mmo (I'm sick and tired of this argument), the game is dead in the west, and this is me not mentioning all the issues with the amount of raids a person needs to learn in order to progress vertically and how hard they are for casual players to actually grind them in a weekly basis and a bunch of other issues plaguing the game.
    More horizontal content won't help. More raids won't help. Better daillies system might, but only for people still playing the game because I know for a fact I'm not comming back to that rng hell that doesn't reward my efforts.
    Don't blame SG, either. It's their business model, their game, hence their choice on what to do with it. Keeping daillies tedious and vertical progression as maddening as possible is what made them money. Now it feels like they're on a rescue mission which just won't work because they sat on their thumbs for too long - at least in the west.
    As for AGS, they take half the blame in our version for being complacent as a publisher for not pushing SG to implement the changes that they knew were needed a whole year ago.

    Instead of 2x chaos dungeons per day
    Make it based off your 3 best chaos dungeon runs per week.
    Give grades based off performance such as time taken to complete, fail damage taken, and chained combat combos.
    Allow players to run as many attempts as they wish.
    Similarly for the guardian raids have a rotating 3 boss challenge every week with a similar system put into place.
    Have an option to cash out your rewards early for a reduced rate of materials with a lower multiplier for rare loot.

    Guardians are heavily inspired by monster hunter aren't they. Why don't they make something like a calamity map, which changes each week and you can choose which Guardians you want to square up against that week, some might give extra leaps, others give more destruction stones or whatever. They would have to rebalance ALL Guardians for that, and that's a lot of work. But the main problem with Guardians really is that as soon as a new one drops you're gonna do that one for the next 4 months twice a day each.

    There would be many issues with 1 character gets x6 gold i feel; inflation is possible? the amount of raids that get ran across all legions get cut down by 6 times so it could be more lobby hell than it is.
    There are positives though; less time on raids, faster gold intake (they would have to make these scale to item or sync you down) maybe that would help with new players getting into raids.

    If you look at Genshin Impact, as an example, they do not bombard you with new costumes aka character skins. They make 1 like every 3-5 months and give 1 free (only if you do events when released) and with 1 as an option to pay. Also they do not change or alter how a character looks to an extreme like Lost Ark tends to do. You lose some immersion with Lost Ark skins whereas Genshin the skin fits canonically and does not ruin immersion. I'll stop there but yea, you can make more points too.

    Lost Ark could have been a good game. But the grindy gearing system is so bad… You have to do the same things over and over again on « x » different characters only to be able to make your main « viable ».

    Or if they really want people doing 2 Guardians, they could easily give additional rewards for doing 2 different Guardians instead of running the same one, which negates the incentives.
    Guardian rewards can be scaled according to your ilvl, so players are not forced to just run the same Guardian every single day.

    I enjoyed Lost Ark up until I hit the level 50 xp gain wall. I was willing to put in some extra grind for dailies, weeklies, etc UNTIL I found out you needed other characters to grind on just to level your main(still confusing as hell to me). The world was beautiful and loved finding the little side quests that added to the npcs around(even if tedious at times. Yes, you Seagull 😒). Island hopping and dailing the sea was by far my favorite aspect of it all, but the joy fizzled and hasn't come back 😥

    The game died for me when I was sitting 5 hours in queue at 6 o clock p.m EU Time after a 9 hour work day - not once, or twice but for weeks. After they FINALLY fixed that we had to wait over a year for all the classes that where released so far at this point. All the set gear that you could get from the dungeons: Useless, since you grind only CDG and upgrade one set of gear. Idk what can save this game but they definitely need to make a lost ark 2

    The main issue I quit was they were banning people from buying gold from a third party, but would happily sell you gold at a much more expensive price. So they weren't concerned with gold buying messing up the game, they just wanted all the money for themselves by eliminating their competitors under their "policy".

    Here's what I think would greatly improve Chaos Dungeon and make it enjoyable-
    1. Remove the portals and limit the amount of rooms down to just one.
    2. Mobs come in continuous waves with faster spawn rates and movement speed.
    3. Add more desirable loot rewards such as honing materials and chaos dungeon exclusive skins and rare mounts if the game wants us to continue to do 2 a day
    I would have a blast doing chaos dungeons every day and im sure most people would agree that it is something they'll look forward to everyday for a chance of looting skins and mounts.

    But why do raids even need to give gold and the weapon/armor honing materials? To hone with? They already have the raids dropping a currency that's a free honing attempt. Why do they not lean into those instead of enforcing arbitrary limits on people who like alts and "encourage" people who don't like alts to make them anyway? Or raids give a universal currency that you can use to buy weekly materials, so you can do highest raids on couple characters to max out your main, or a lot of the raids on one character to get them maxed, and just give the currency a weekly cap.
    These are problems that other KR MMOs have solved. This is not the first alt-centric KR MMO. I don't know why they don't just do what they had great success with and copy the systems other games have while just being a better game.

    You can't have a 1 character gold limit in this game because of how it's set up, there would be overall less people in party finder for raids as the week goes on so it would be harder to fill and what will most likely happen is there will be people that wont be able to do their raids because most people will have done em.

    This idea that developers need a long time to come up with a solution to problems that have been talked to death is asinine to me. If they have identified a problem, Smilegate and their 1,200 employees can develop a bandaid in less than 4 hours to alleviate the issue. Now if you want a complete overhaul redesign, sure that does take some time to properly plan out, but this isn't rocket science when several different counties worth of players are telling you the same critique. Patch a fix in ASAP, redesign over the next 3-5 months, implement when done. But do SOMETHING now.

  • @AkameGaKen

    i dont think running chaos dungeons twice a day is bad. running it twice per character is bad. get rid of multi character progression and the problem is solved. boost loot drops and get rid of loot sharing.
    i have enough trouble remembering how to play one character after not playing for awhile. you cant expect me to remember how to play 16 characters.
    for guardians they need to do 4 things to fix them. add a health bar. make it perminently visable on map. reduce daily to once. and double the drops.. or triple.
