Before posting a comment I do realize I was unfair to this server on a few things. Turns out, there is a new player guide that takes you through their low level progression path. From what I can tell it is mainly kill task oriented. My next video will address that progression path and my thoughts. I do still stand by the things I commented on the amount of NPC's, the fact there are already NPC's doing the same job, the low level areas having the fire spire portal, and the Christmas tree that constantly is buffing you. I'm still confused about the weapons you start with verses the ones that are imbued. As of right now I'm level 53, kill task boosted me from 47 and a half right to 53. Anyway, keep this all in mind as my next video will address how poorly I commented on this video.
I've played a few servers. To each their own. This has more unique content than all others combined. I really don't think that is hyperbole. It's not on Thwargle due to conflicting views on sharing code.. It's too bad. The community is too small to be divided. But, LW is definitely a place to explore for a month to see if you like it. If you like new content.. LW is where to be. That said, I do also like aspects of other servers. I hope people find somewhere they like.
I’d say some review Thistlecrown, but that’s the server I play and I don’t want to see you rip on it haha.. I think the major factor of servers is community. AC had the best community of any MMORPG I’ve ever played and a lot of that still rolls over into the emulators. TC is retail but with some quality of life things like being able to buy work 10 and even foolproof for MMDs, Stipend 3 day timer, Bella is 20h, and luminance is 10x
I promise my goal wasn't to rip any server. I also play TC so that would be one of the last reviews I do. I figured my bias may be present if I reviewed them now. I have another video for part 2 of LostWoods where I do apologize and give a better perspective once hitting lvl 50+. I would agree that AC had just an outstanding community and that's what I miss the most. Some quality of life add-ons are fine, then there is taking it way to far IMO. But that's just me, for others it might be more to their liking. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts and I am going to try and do better on later reviews. My intention was not to rip servers but to review them based on my play style.
So I play this server exclusively. I have for 2 years plus. A problem I have with your assessment is you are not trying very hard to progress through things. You seem very critical on some pretty small things. I was wondering if you were even reading anything. That Christmas tree that annoys you are Legendaries it's casting. Those weapons you fall over yourself complaining about the high cost are all already imbued. MMD's are very easy to come by. Those weapons will easily out damage your starter stuff. Did you even try getting one? Did you reach out to the community to ask questions? Everyone is extremely helpful. Remember it's custom so each server is going to have something different. Progression is very AC like with a nice boost in rewards. Custom keys to custom chests for customized armor and weapons for the lower end are nice touches. The biggest draw is the custom T9 areas. It's like a whole other AC with giant areas to explore and quest in. I hope you try enough to really get a feel for what's been done here. It's not perfect but I feel light years ahead of other servers.
"You are not trying very hard to progress through things" - How far would I need to progress before I get to see new/reworked content? Server claims thousands of AC quests reworked but apparently low level ones weren't? " You seem very critical on some pretty small things" - As new players fresh to the server probably would be. " I was wondering if you were even reading anything." - Did you read my pinned comment? "That Christmas tree that annoys you are Legendaries it's casting." - Pretty sure I mention that in the video. Still is very annoying. "Those weapons you fall over yourself complaining about the high cost are all already imbued." - I know, I mentioned that as well. "MMD's are very easy to come by." - Doesn't justify the cost and by the time a new player gets that amount of cash they probably have found a better stack of weapons to imbue anyway. "Those weapons will easily out damage your starter stuff. Did you even try getting one?" - No they could not and I do have my own test server. Those weapons are in the admin area with all the portals. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about. I tested out those pre-imbued weapons and they aren't worth it. Even if they were worth the price, they cannot be tinked any further. Had they actually been better stats than starter gear and been tinkable after the fact, then sure. They then would be worth it. "Did you reach out to the community to ask questions? Everyone is extremely helpful." - I had no desire to reach out. I was playing as a new player would in most cases. Besides, the community wasn't being reviewed and not in question here. Betting you didn't watch my apology video and that's fine. Short answer is, this server makes a lot of claims but delivers very little to a new player. New players more than likely will not want to invest as many levels as it takes to get to all this great content they cannot see. It appears nobody spent any time playing as a new player with no knowledge of the server and their perspective. The server isn't for me but it might be of interest to others.
@@NerdyForge What did you do in game ? Training academy ? Drudge hideout ? Facility Hub ? Alright point proven. lol we all make fun of you :P i mean if you simply just bought the rended bow and used it you would clearly see 5x the damage lol 270,000 Pyreals......from 1 quest......Lag was prolly from your crappy computer lol or i was building at that current time then server pauses to inject............And i just love how you say why have the quest npcs out in the open put them in buildings so people go look for them..........You are the type of player of WHY they are out in the open......but yet you missed it all lol
@@NerdyForge You should ask Snail to check out your video he would laugh too.....Since he actually knows what he is talking about lol He will even tell you no server even comes close to content retail or custom. We had retail finished 2+ years ago. So you to question it just shows you dont know jack squat lol but i mean like i said you are a casual. To enjoy higher content you actually have to have the urge to want to be good. if you just wanna poke around and not build suits and just play around......Yea your gonna have a hard time.....Goal is for Real AC Players that know how to quest and gear and play. Casual player that just wants to do easy stuff and fiddle around Stock AC servers have that covered already.
@@gamingmatrix7644 If you say so. I don't know why you are wasting your time weeks later with this. But, I guess thank you for helping the RUclips algorithm? Keep posting, I'm sure people will decide for themselves if they want to play on a server where they harass people for not agreeing. Makes for a great show in the comments I guess. You do you boo.
Valid point even a year later. I mean, why wouldn't I want to be running around town constantly being buffed over and over and over. Is that tree still there in town? If so I will happily log in and apologize to the tree, I'm sure it misses buffing me.

Cool, I’m curious what the other servers are like too

What is the IP? I cant find it anywhere. People say Discord has it, but I dont want Discord...
This is what I have listed in Thwargle Launcher. lostwoodsac.hopto.org:9000 it shows active with a green check mark.
