maybe too early for my spicy jokes
Yup! You got that right, make sure to have the guide open beside you
I would highly recommend watching Stoopz ignite tutorial guide, its an hour long but makes the game more underwhelming
no it's just there wont be tfm after reset

I am happy, i got 4 people eclipse before TFM went away
i know 😦
Today was a careful balancing act, masked by the facade of normalcy. I moved through each moment deliberately, my every action concealed beneath the skin of someone ordinary. The morning felt sterile, routine, as if each step was orchestrated to keep me hidden. I drank my coffee and watched people pass by — their faces oblivious, their minds preoccupied with insignificant concerns. I went through the motions, the shadows of their lives brushing up against mine. But beneath, a darker pulse thrummed, an itch waiting to be scratched. Each interaction, each smile, each nod, a performance, concealing the truth that lies just under the surface.
I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
My dark passengers better kitten
You are in luck, i am teaching this weekend
I don’t know about being my princess you surely can be a side ting
🗿

I just need experience and practice
I've studied most of the mechs but not the patterns 
The patterns are the deal breaker not the mechs 😂
I’ll send you an invite on Thursday for the learning
If you can get 1-3 hm done, i would highly encourage you to do finish it off
Try to knock out all of your big raids on reset and Thursday
Great, you should be good then.
Hows your progression regarding your character looking?
it's okay
could be better I suppose but for 2 months it's not the worst
u started playing 2 months ago?
dd24 (3 off los18), about half t4 lv5 gems half t3 event, 75 flowers, 39 set with about 31 or so damage lines (ik it hurts) 1643 and 90+ quality on nearly every piece
.36% demon damage kinda meh
How do i have a better character than you in the 5 months of playing this game 😂
Yup
😂true

@pine granitewhats ur ilvl on ur main
Not bad at all
1660 should be free with the ignite char
no real point going past 1645 imo until I have 100 flowers at the very least
what's 1660 if I have no trans/elixir yk ?
Thats good decision making
u get 40luck set and 3 trans no?
40 luck super bad and 3 trans ok
u can get ur ignite char to 1660 really easy
but 45 flowers is nothing
u can change 2 or 3 exliris
and 40 luck is unusable
ye but it's still rng
You never want to hop on raids in legacy with luck, just change helm and gloves.
depends how many elixirs we get
As per 1660 don’t push for it
in total u get 25 i think
Focus on your main
as for trans 3 per is about the breakpoint for 'easy trans' levels
45 flowers 3's is about the same difficulty as like c/p5
and not the same value at all
Easy how?
I'm not sure the chest has enough to push alone
buy bus if u have 2
mats
I see
you adv hone 2 pc to +10
before xfer to t4
so you temper at 1620
then xfer t4 pieces until youre 1630
But adv honing requires t3mats that ignite doesn't have right?
ignite characters will have exactly 0 bound t3 mats
only worth if you have shit saved though
wait yall dont have shit saved?
And that means it's not rly easy if u have to save a year of mats behind the scenes D:
I have mats saved but not sure I got enouth
Enough *
you can check what you need from the honing calc
technically you should just be able to run average
but if youre hyper unlucky then worst case
I mean if I have some T3 mats I guess it's still worth to atleast adv hone smth before going into T4
the shards are usually the biggest issue
server up?
bcs it's a new char
so it has 0 t3 shards
Shards is mega issue ye
I could choose T3 shards instead of T4 in the chests ☠️

lets not do that

atp would be better to just
xfer t4 then temper all and +14 before adv
which even then youre 1660 raw
unsure if the boxes have enough mats for that
raw? 
bcs avg is this
so if the boxes have that then sure you can get 1660 on ignite char
otherwise gg nope

ignite rewards likely wont allow characters to push 1660
at most I would say 1650 if that
this seems more accurate for the ignite reward materials
u got mokoko event 2
ya but 1660 is a pretty big leap
at the very most I would say 1655
because the shard cost from 1640 to 1650 is a little under the shard cost of 1650->1655
442 40->50
475 50->55
523 55->60
Ive pushed my alt this week from 1640-1660 and it costed about 180-200k
Without buying mats, just orehas
so it seems more accurate that the ignite rewards (bound gold) + mokoko likely wont push chars past 1650
if that at all
can someone explain how the ignite transfer strategy of advanced honing 2 pieces etcetc actually helps with progression
Shards issue
You don’t wanna do that, just go into t4 as soon as possible
2k oreha also
This is the best way to invest in your new Ignite character IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT and IF YOU WANT IT TO BE IN YOUR TOP 6 - Skip to the TLDR timestamp if you just want the short version of this strategy
0:00 - Intro
1:58 - Ignite Server Official Notes + Information
4:23 - Before you transfer
5:24 - After you transfer (THE IMPORTANT PART)
10:26 - ...
ill watch this vid rn lets find out!!!
Go crazyy
i even have t2 mats from the good old days 
I saw this video last night. Is it worth? Im a returned player and idk about advanced honing
its a matter if you have the mats or not
it is not worth
it is
you will be delaying t4 too much to gain any value
🤔
unless you have t3 mats
and if youre returning you likely do NOT have an abundance of t3 mats
Ignite rewards are like 300k shard meanwhile u need like a mil
1.4mil average to 1660
Yea then no way u doin it
There is no point of pushing your ignite char to 1660, you need trans to do aegir nm or even g4 theamine
Im doing advance hone with the mats i got then transfering to t4
it's an idea purely for people with a full roster and an abundance of t3 mats
It took me about 1.1 mil shards on my alt to push no advance honing done
Hmmm so I just go to t4 then
If you are a new player or player with only 2-3 main 3 yes just go into t4
The mats and relic accessories will save you a lot of time
essentially if you have this or can get this within a week then you dont go to t4 instantly
otherwise you do
Im assuming new players don’t have t3 mats
💀
If you have a char at 1610 rather use it for them and slowly hone them to 1620. Its no point of using them to advance hone an ignite character
Need adven honing First then transfer T4?
are you able to get millions of t3 shards
if yes, yes
if no, no
what if we already have chars in t4
the oreha is the main issue
Yes i have many T3 Box shard etc etc cause i love box
doesnt matter much
Your aim in the first 2 -3 as for your ignite character is, transcendence and elixr.
this is 0-10 all pieces cost in t3
I have a 1610 but I want to use the ignite char to new main and make my pally 1588 2nd
so after one week longer waiting we can transfer tomorrow instead of today?!
🤔
what
What strylander is talking about is mostly applicable for players with 5-6 mains or if you are main swapping
Ugh that gold number sigh
todaY, WDYM
So you want to main swap?
Please note Ignite servers transfers will be closed on Wednesdays between the hours of 12 AM PT / 7 AM UTC to 10 AM PT / 5 AM UTC to account for any maintenance windows and allow for a smooth transfer process. This includes tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding!
Yeah
+5 all is more achievable and pretty good imo
im main swapping and i have a good amount of t3 mats saved up in roster storage
and my current main is 1640
guys is there is any free card selector in ignite server that i dont know ?
u get some at 1620 i think
not a selector
no i mean before
transfer gives 5 selectors
in the server
If you are main swapping, then yes you can min max on the advance honing and delay your progress since your ignite character won’t see aegir in the coming 3 weeks anyways
i dont think so
I would definitely recommend at least +5 all on adv if you have it unlocked and have t3 mats
before xfer
I think a friend is doing +10 two pieces
to get 1640 while staying with t3 pieces
so he can adv that with extras
I really regret I didn't pushed my weapon in from 24 to 25 in tier 3 😦
much cheaper tbh
Okay. When do Aegir comes? I never did Thae and Echidna, does that matter for push or not?
? why
glow
1660/1680
if you dont have trans/elixirs/cards/gems then no point in thinking about aegir though
Ignite gave 40 set, I have it with critical
I wouldn’t recommend this to you then, aegir is already out and its the next step of progression. I would highly recommend you to stick to the natural transfer and learn echidna theamine first etc
that's a good start
meanwhile the support rat with no gems in aegir nm 
You need 120+ for aegir
i was 1619 ;-;
Okay, thx 😄
most of the ppl in normal dont have 120
It is free but why would someone take you if you are missing weapon trans haha
its usually 113-117
Unless and until its your friends then its fine
so what time can we actaully transfer ignite char to main roster]
buy bus
Flowers? xD I have te check all the new things ;/
That’s not a fun way to play the game lol
Watch the stoopz guide
then do bus
Please note Ignite servers transfers will be closed on Wednesdays between the hours of 12 AM PT / 7 AM UTC to 10 AM PT / 5 AM UTC to account for any maintenance windows and allow for a smooth transfer process. This includes tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding! <_ ok doenst that mean its closed today??? or im just dumb af
Updated <t:1730273103:R>
🔴 All servers currently under maintenance 🔴
Check #announcements for more information.
I'll do 😄
I buss for free lmao
thats on you
Not a goblin on gold, more about making people have a good experience
Its just a game
I was thinking the same. I understood 22h (?)
where can i see this spreadsheet
i wanna run some of my own numbers and scenarios
ye
I suddenly have an urge to help new and returning players starting today. I can't believe it took me this long to realize new players make up the foundation of our game which will crumble if I do not take action. It all came to me in my sleep, and i woke up realizing what I need to do. So mokokos, plz DM me and and I will take you into raid and give you a crash course so fast you wont even have time to learn. There's an event you say? I was not even aware, be assure that me helping new players is simply altruism at its finest.
Do you guys think it's a good idea Lost Ark locked some skills behind tons of progression?
I want the new Awakening but I don't want to upgrade.
I think its the dumbest idea to add skills to the game but have them locked behind this much upgrading...
I think this is making me quit tbh
maxroll upgrade calculator
so i guess u can transfer tomorrow instead of today…
i dont think its that deep
tomorrow morning
lost ark is far from the first game to give u skills as u progress

22 hrs from now 🙂
but I do so I wrote it. if u don't u don't have to reply. u can keep yo yourself
Its actually a blessing we got those new things, korea had to wait for a good while, hence it made aegir easier for us
its another incentive for progressing, just like any mmo
do you need to upgrade? just do the purple quest and you have them??
why did you get so defensive?
do you even want to work for something?
ye
it's not locked behind anything that isnt free unless you started playing 2 seconds ago

please don't be like this either argue like normal people or leave. you're not giving any valid points.
claim doesnt make sense in the forst place since 1620 is free
what a annoying yapper. hooooly
forst
Why is there an argument in the first place haha, if you do want it to be an argument make sure you don’t have a fallacious pre-tense haha
fuck you 
sons of the forst

I want to work to unlock gear and raids. but skills being locked is very dumb in my opinion. imagine a balance patch where your new balance is locked behind things like that.
HA is something you want in tier 4 for progression, you can still do tier 3 raid without it just fine as before

Yes the whole game is free. I'm talking about the free aspect of locking skills behind progression
its always been like this no?
This has been the case in MMOs, its just game design.
every mmorpg locks skills behind progression
this isnt a new idea
Like every single MMO? tell me a big MMO without skill lock (not nonames)
?? give me a list
play valorant lil bro
destiny, division, final fantasy, wow
There you go 😁
?
just search mmo and you will find them
tnl/warframe/black desert
…
T&L, WOW, JD, AION, TERRA, even fking Metin2, and the list goes on\
Warframe is a really good example
ffxiv
wow
loa
bdo
runescape
albion
trove
wizard101
t&l
everquest
bless
METIN 2 HOLYYYYYYYYYYY 
dragon nest ChadSip
Ah I see you don't really get it. you just listed every mmo you know. half of those DONT lock skills behind progression.
really?
name them
give an example

you even have the old school like 4Story, Lineage, etc
maplestory 
so no transer today?
tnl warframe bdo
tell us one from the list we gave you without it
maplestory keybinds are weird
thos strickly lock skils behind you leveling your chars
it's despair that I cant rebind to wasd
Like i said previously your initial argument is based on a very keen fallacy. You could reframe the argument better.
i uninstalled cuz of that 
xdd
Are you guys arguing about going from level 1 to 2 and unlocking a new skill? if so theb it's my fault for thinking you lot can argue xd
technically you can you just need to do it on ur keyboard
wdym? ilvl is the same
go from 1620 to 1640 and you get hyper + T
shocking right?
you still havent named a game from that list
Ilevel is the actual level in this game

because he can't
maybe you should've specified your argument
Why is there a requirement for an argument haha
No... playing the game the first time and reaching max level to unlock your skills is different than already being at end game but you need more end game to get the new skills
thats how endgame works in games
so.... Division? Destiny?
you dont like the game? quit
keyword MMORPG
The new skills are part of a new progression system, t3 and t4 are two different things.
simple
whats ur endgame? 1640 char?
ilvl is an extension of level yes
Dishonesty 101 here
brotha you don't get new skills, you upgrade the skills wdym
I smell something well-done 
just like you upgrade your gear to do mroe dmg
t skill is new no?
so guys the transfer stategy is only to reach 1660 quicker (by spending a lot of gold and t3 mats) when u can grind out t4 mats for weeks and eventually get there without spending the same level of gold? or is t4 regular honing more expensive in terms of gold
The argument was in shambles from the beginning too many fallacies hindered it pointless
my highest is 1610
So wait, the issue is that you get Hyper and T skills in T4, instead of getting them at, let's say Anikka?
During the 20th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Tom Clancy's The Division for "Role-Playing/Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year". my bad
u do that only if you want to get 1660 quick af and u have mats
When you are doing MSQ?
you are playing wow, you have all your skills at current endgame, then they release a new expansion. you need to do renown/leveling/artifact point farming or whatever shit it is to get your new skill(s). thats no more locked behind progression than t skill and hyper
Exactly how many mats
Dude, Valtan would not stand a chance against that!
this is technically the most optimal
Berrys a he?
2pc temper
Gg

I bet this dude would throw the PC over the winodws if we playing in Korea XD
I thought i had a kitten
idk
This just for 2 pieces then
she/he can be transformers for all i know
you temper 2pc from first clear on nm
then do hm the next week and temper the rest
good, stupid cow deserves to be dead
but for week 1 it's temper 2pc
he still can
I’m too low on leapstones sadly I might have enough shards
Wait, noone tell him that he also has to CHOOSE 8 skills, and which Awakening, Hyper and T skill to use, and cannot just use all of them
tbh I did the amors to +10 and weapon +20 then transffered gear to tier 4
OH NO 
Double it and give it to the next person haha, i don’t swing that way
well this is +10 all
just ignore all that bullshit and use ignite as a free 1640 to blast echidna/thae/behemoth each week to feed main

True horror isn't it?
and this is +20 all (1660 on t4 xfer)
what if u have the mats but u dont care about getting to 1660 quick? my concern is the gold sink, which is cheaper the strategy or regular t4 progression
Peoeheartattack
dont do it then
gold wise, t4 honing
Berrys a dude, ive been mislead by a Griffith imposter
is that your answer to my questions or is this just another pointless opinion about me specifically?
if you fomo and u want 1660 do that
yeah technically most optimal is temper 2pc week 1 and xfer 3pc for 1630 then temper 3rd piece week 2 for 3/3 and +10 those 3 before xfer to t4
iirc
Its not anything bout you but your argument lol
@rain sunif you DO NOT like the game just QUIT
Think I’m just gonna adv hone 2 piece and move on
thats good 2 most ppl will do that
I don't play wow. and no we don't "need" to they just made it so we had to. unlike most other proper games.
It's almost like Velika wants to play a game where he stays in endgame doing nothing kind of like a single player game with no DLC 
name 3
that is exactly how it works in wow
if you do not like my argument just stfu xD
what are most other proper games?
This might not be the game for you then buddy i highly suggest dark souls oh wait…
btw if you xfer 3 pieces week 1 you can do hm echidna @raw grove
since it makes you 1630
?? U only need to level which takes a few hours. Skills aren’t locked behind renown
Okay, so we have a small community, sure, but we mostly like the game and we play it until we just stop having fun with it. So we should all cather to your "needs" of not understanding it? Why don't you play your "proper" games then? 🤔
See @rain sun if you have a proper argument this wouldn’t be an issue
Leapstones are prob my issue with 3 but. I have so many mats to riaise honing chance though
you think it's a difficulty thing?
Let us change the core gameplay, so one person can have unique MMO experience, despite never playing MMO
because he wants to complain, easy answer 
I legit think it's a bait acc or something along those lines
Its not about difficulty, the oh wait comes from you still need to progress to advance
here's with full grace then
can you reply to the comment itself so I know what you're talking about?
he is talking in general, there are no valid points
nws
worst case you xfer with not +10 on each piece but still some adv which makes it much cheaper to finish adv at +14 in t4 @raw grove
Sorry but nothing personal, i am going to stop replying to you, since you have no sincerity regarding the subject. You have a bias.
honestly im coming around to it, fuck it why shouldnt u be allowed to hyper as a 1540 or w/e
I was forced to do my alts T4 without adv honing as otherwise it would be gatekept forever XD
because it does too much damage
I mean we all know WoW is a better mmo full stop. But lost ark has fun combat even if there are many garbage and annoying systems
I love the game. I'm not asking you to cater to me. I just think that most of you that think this is OK are just ever so slightly dumb and are ez to take advantage of xDD
even scaled down hyper + T does a LOT of percentage damage from the boss
your T is basically another big skill at worst and a full rotation at best
Are servers under maintenance right now?
and your hyper tends to be a few rotations of damage
another dumb comment. I have 4k on lost ark and 40k on bdo and 50k on tera
raid already got nerfed, if you use HA it would be a blast, not even understanding the mechs so you won't be prepared for endgame, as every raid prepares you for the next in terms of mechs and attacks
who cares, theyre fun buttons to press
then get 1640
so you want the game to cater to you then, honestly I rather be dumb than be on your side 
4k what
I am all for constructive criticism, but your so called criticism revolves around the core game, not about end stuff, gatekeeping, trans, elixirs, etc
I am guessing 4k complaints 
maybe at a very basic level, but I think it's disingenuous to think that doing brel or akkan will prepare you for thaemine or echidna
if he means hours hes delulu
Wait, @rain sun are you the dude that Josh Strife Hayes made a video about, making fun of cuz Josh said "Tera bad"?
make them scale more aggressively with lower ap then, so they do less of ur dmg as a percentage, plus who cares if newer players get to skip a kaya or brel mechanic
And then chatter went balistic
lol
may as well remove the raids atp
they kinda have
if youre just going to skip every mechanic ON ilvl
nah you still need them for set bonus and rocks if youre grinding to 1620
the main issue is the gap between 1540 and 1620
you can already skip mechanics on ilvl tho, it's just class dependent
beats having to unlock skills through progression 
Ok maybe I AM stupid and don't know properly. At what ilvl can you get hyper awakening? just want to make sure before I reply further...
exactly, why not let ppl have more fun on those characters
nah cant skip kayangel mechanics
1640
the actual problem of the game is they nerfed old raids but not honing so if you are behind youre fucked
what is that, 50k hours are 5.78703703704 years
1640
New players can't even play tbh
like a new player wont have 10's with klc30
Can you reach 1640 without elixirs or trans?
yes
yes but it is not recommended
for the sake of your parties
and the party damage
yep
i just googled it man 
How come? Will you get into raids without those 2?
The bigger issue, as multiple people have said is gold nerfs, but no honing nerfs, especially from 1600 to 1620, and even blow that
There are no new players. Ignite server to reach new players was a massive failure. This is just a juiced seasonal event for veterans
okay forget that i said new players, why cant i have more fun on my rat 1540 alts, i might even play them at that point 
thats a different story, but you can farm lower raid golds on alt and funnel to main to hit 1620 or you know ignite
I just did the math and I did it badly with 360 days a year when there are 365 fays but still 5 years smth not 5k years XD
I see you're picking the argument that you like nice
well its 5. something
@rain sun here is your method
Okay, listen, if we ignore it, it will go away
brotha you can still do Solo content if your character looks like shit and nobody accepts you
The sad part about this its the fact that noone search for mmo's to play alone
Me
I think he might be one of those people that are looking for an excuse to leave the game and rally people to go with them 

you already received the oportunity to do trans wiothout clearing all thaemine and do elixirrs without dooing hard raid, what else you want to advance XD
You really don't know mmos lmao
ngl, I have 6 chars T4, but I do group raids only on main, and other 5 from main 6 are just to funnel gold from solo raids, and then other 8 after, are just cube and chaos slaves, so no, you can play however you want
wdym, that's me 
ye ik but he can do Solo to prepare the chara for multiplayer raid
other 8 after? 
just looking for validation from other people to confirm HIS bias and that it's okay to quit
tell me about it please
i want to learn from you
my lord
my king
my savoir
please teach me


Wait so what is your issue? Transcedence and Elixirs? I didn't scroll up much.
his issue is that he needs to hit 1640 to get hyper awakening
Its ppl xenophobic againts the mokoko players?
I enjoy the game man, don't judge 🥲
uuu he got big daddy typing 
Ah so you're telling me the skills ARE locked behind progression after all
nobody said they arent
yes like other mmos, wtf? 
the point wasnt that loa doesnt lock behind progression, its that literally every game does that
Apex
most of yeah XD I am not, but at lease do the solo raid once and watch a video before comming to party
Like pretty much every other MMO
Skills
lmao, dude went out for the TINIEST thing on the fine print that agrees with him and went "AHA, SO IT IS LIKE I SAID IT IS"
50k hours in bdo is nothing
Yea Hyper Awakening is locked behind 1640. When you hit 1620, you do basically hit 1640 after doing the story. Item Level is this game, is akin to other MMOs "character level".
Im currently playing brelzhasa and Akkan
what type of no lifer are you man?
Solo
gues how long this mt 

good, you can come to party now XD
yeah sorry deathboi, he just wants to have everything unlocked from the beginning I guess 
3 hour maintenancec, emergency issue with ignite transfers, 16 hour maintenance tomorrow to fix
Does he really have a problem with hyper awakening being locked behind a certain item level?
Is this the extent of your arguing?
XD Im studying Thaemine
normal awakening is locked behind a quest also you know. imagine doing that for the first time
yes
nice 7 hr story
well ,it is a bit if we talk about hours and you also have a social life ngl XD
Guess we need to have everything unlocked at the start of the game 
In other games.. all skills are not accessible immediately. You have to "level up". Look at WoW, FF14, etc.
out of shard in ignite
yep, he doesn't like new stuff being added that he needs to progress because mmos are not like that according to him
good, you progress!
THERE S NO WAY TO GET ENOUGH SHARDS
Wait so what are mmos if not for progression?
There are 1 million cases of people not getting dumber from this medicine, but this one person got a flue for like a week. Facebook mom "SO THEY DO CAUSE ISSUES"
thats why opinion not mine
that doesn't make sense.
solo mode vendor and event shoip should be more tha enough
I doubt that's his logic.
you ahve the event shop there
finished.
10/10 game, I start playing, get everything, can safely leave
my roaster lvl in ignite is 80 and not ignite is 70, whic one transsfer do i use?
Speedrunners dream
go to solo mode exchange, blue chest icon npc
lol transfer delayed again ? xd
Big numbers
damn, chaos and repeat daily, you seems like really bad luck on hone then
finished.
no fucking way
unfortunately 😦

@karmic bridge this is paraphrased but essentially he thinks that new skills should be locked behind pure leveling and not external leveling like ilvl, reputation, dlc, etc
more context
I mean in WoW you can reach max level in a day.
oh he is typing 

Sure. but this is a Korean MMO we are talking about lol. Not a western one.
so basically he wants the game to be 10x more casual?
youre telling me you bought out all 50 of the 5k shard bags from solo mode?
In Lost Ark, Item Level isn't external leveling.
I believe he wants level 70 to give hyper if anything
yes 😦
It is leveling.
ye get owned then i guess, uunlucky
But it is not solo
you're getting the bad part of the argument.
I don't mind progressing to unlock things from the game world.
but after this much end game, having to do more end game to have my own class identity properly is a shit idea.
skills at such end game levels shouldn't be locked that far.
hitting 1640 is almost impossible especially with all the elixir and trans and gatekeeping.
most people that are saying otherwise here have had th4 convenience yo properly raid and do things in a timely manner.
Geddit?
@rain sun I suggest wait untill someone make a private server of lost ark with everything unlocked, or you can do it and there you go, you have your own server with everything you want, we'll see how many ppl will play with everything unlocked and no progrression when this is the essence of MMOs
I always like grinding games, and then there is majority of people that don't like it, so what's the issue? Not everything is made for everyone?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, MMOs in general aren't really like that.
because the game advance with you, which is a good thing that we receive updates wdym
Brother, the point is, that your endgame, was endgame months ago, it's not endgame now
1640 is just 1620
1620 is rough now with the nerfs and constant debuffs from ags but it isnt impossible. You also dont need trans/elixir to hit 1620 it is just recommended because of gatekeeping (an external idea)
and because you will do z without it
is almost like this game keeps on progressing and adding stuff so that we can do more 
You guys think buffing the gold would make this problem easier to solve?
Ah so you're telling me you gonna quit lost ark if they removed the restrictions for hyper awakenings? is that it? :D
except stacking vertical systems is awful game design and they really need to rework their thought process
Well 1640 is not impossible without elixir and trans, because you can hit 1620 by simply honing. All you need for that is Akkan gear, from the Akkan raid. So that is objectively false.
Class Identity can happen in some MMOs with endgame progression. This occured in WoW with certain expansions. This is ultimately a Korean MMO, so vertical progression is king.
not every problem, but some of it
or at least, below 1620 honing buffs
yeah agree on that department, but let's be honest. He changed his argument
which is the same point, does not matter if honing is reduced or you got more gold
I won't care as I no longer play in tier 3, but if I am a new player playing in tier 3 and everyone is blasting the raid there will be no fun to me and no learning
Servers down or something?
just yours
Fr
Please note Ignite servers transfers will be closed on Wednesdays between the hours of 12 AM PT / 7 AM UTC to 10 AM PT / 5 AM UTC to account for any maintenance windows and allow for a smooth transfer process. This includes tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding!
Can someone explain to me, how they go from 7am utc to 5 am utc? Do they mean next day or what?

its maint like every other wednesday
In my case im strugling to get to 1560 for one armor piece and the reason why is because there a some things that are not easily obtainable, so my alts cannot help at all sometimes
where
the guys cooked but hes onto something tbh, im down for ppl getting access to their most fun skills earlier in progression, who cares if they blast solo brel a little faster
Even with calculators telling you the horrendous amount of gold needing to get that lvl
look at china, getting hyper at 1540
10% chances should be illegal
soon in the west 
your argument went from having to hone to get hyper awakening to having to do elixirs and trans to get there to having to hone and do other stuff to get hyper awakening
why are you avoiding the question with your own made up scebarios? I'm talking about today right now xD will I quit if they removed the hyper restrictions
10% chances aren't the problem. The problem is trying to hyper focus on alts when you are not in the means to do so. Unless you are a veteran, or have a ton of hours, dispersing your resources to get more alts up is not practical unless you swipe.
With the way lost ark works, to have a juiced main 6 roster you either need to be grandfathered into the game (playing for a long ass time), or swipe.
no, but I will blame the devs for not letting new players learn the raids properly and then feels like uendgame is too overwhelming
i know a site 
only 2 more juicer events until i have a proper roster 🙏
same XD
Im talking about the gold and some honing items you get with gold or weekly limits bonus shops, its really difficult to get for new players or returning players to reach Vykas with alters to get at least a small amount of extra gold
i need 3 more cuz i dropped my other char HAHA
It's not difficult to get to 1460 and do Vykas. What are you talking about.
im sorry you suck at reading. everything I said is all connected to hyper Awakening.
if you don't do elixir or trans you don't get into raids.
if you don't get unto raids u get no gold or mats.
if u get no gold or mats u don't upgrade
if you don't upgrade you don't unlock the new skills.
New skills = locked behind some absurd end game.
man please lock everything g eveb cosmetics. but the class gameplay is a thing that should be available day 1. saying otherwise is super weird and feels elitist
it is actually
Isn't honing up to 1540 silver only?
youre gated by oreha HARD

10 unbound per oreha
make friends, slide in to their parties
DO SOLO

It really isn't lol. I started from scratch on an alt account before.
this guy is actually just stupid unlucky
outside of events oreha is not abundant
Yeah but im saying that sometimes item like, idk, oreha for example are only obtainable from bonus shops or gold
if you don't do elixir or trans you don't get into raids, if you don't get unto raids u go into solo raids and get gold or mats, then you can upgrade
vykas is 1430 tho 
It takes a little bit extra time, but it's not difficult. It's waaaay easier than it was when Vykas was the current endgame. Astronomically easier.
1430 for normal, sure.
try doing vykas on 1430 with a new account and 3pc relic
Never did vykas normal. Maybe once in my lifetime
who even does actual vykas lobbies?
solo is 1430?
I mean yeah it's equivalent to if we were to say honing to aegir
he can't process this, he wants everything on the table
No. Not even close lmao
I barely see anything below brel
and solo is 100x easier than even normal
in terms of current endgame? yeah it is
You can get elixirs from solo shop, you get a lot of the free legendary ones, you can get 1-2 from solo mode, idk drop rates on that? so your only problem is Thaemine, and when you get your 40 set, or even 35, people will accept you
where the only problem is "knowing mechs"
Berry, please stop. holy
solo is whatever the raid entry is
sus
come back to loa discus desu we miss you

So either today is not possible to transfer ...
I'm trying to decipher the dentge that is going on here, i think it is contagious and passed onto you berry.
No I don't want anything from the above. all i want is my class skills. I want to play my class with its full kit.
I play the game to do raids with my class. if my class is not complete then what's the f point xd
1430 is pretty easy to achieve from scratch
its just delayed for a few hours after maint
no im just trying to bait u back into loa discus u dont belong here
would you guys recommend a new player try this game? and if so, does ignite teach people well enough, or should they start from scratch? Have a friend interested, but I almost feel like new players are so behind with gatekeeping there's not much point
go to bellion ruins and dig up the ground brother man, or do stronghold bound ones, which I would not recommend
we werent even supposed to get hyper awakening yet though right. at least not when we did get it
save him, he is the chosen one
If you are spending every cent of your gold on your main to reach higher levels sometimes you cannot lvl up as fast as you need to buy some honing materials, as I said, only obtainables from bonus shops or buying (crafting using gold too) I remark new players and returning players as its not easy to get gold like some ppl do it
like part of passive/T4
make sure you transfer right when it becomes available at 5am utc to take advantage of all the ignite transfer bugs and exloits that will be available for 30 minutes before emergency maintenance 
a whole 3 relic pieces? couldn't be me
if u want a friend to start u better hold his hand until hes confident
It was complete in tier 3, the current tier 3 stay the same, HA is a tier 4 thing, unless you progress to tier 4 you don't get it, what is so hard to understand, is liek you want to do Aegir on 1500 chara just cuz it exists in the game
I make them with automatic fishing but the problems are not the mats to craft it, cause it uses gold too
For my alts of course
You can get by just fine with focusing on a single character. I know plenty of people that do this. If you want to make alts, you can. But at your current roster progression, it would be illogical to do so.
buy valtan/vykas mats from shop > craft 1 piece of each > run valtan > ??
i got a few friends to try, the problem is that ignite gets u to the point where they think okay time to go solo akkan, without knowing fucking anything about how the game works, so youll need to handhold a lot as well
2pc from solo (10 of each mat) then 1x valtan for 3rd pc
yep im a one char 1680 andy
yeah fair, sounds good, thanks guys
nah, I'm rolling in there on full purple, can't stop me
so whats the earliest window we can transfer ignite char after maintenance is done?
If you want to get more ways to get gold to raise even more your main I think sometimes its reasonable to at least get the first legion raid, thats the point
why do you keep bringing other things in? a raid being unlocked at a specific ilvl is different than a skill being u locked...
as I said lock everything except skills.
Stop trying yo say otherwise. all I care about is my class skills.
Server up?
full purple lego accessories 
no
you know it
boutta have 1300 mainstat in vykas 
Your class has it's full kit. Hyper Awakening is literally a skill you use once per fight. And the T skill is generally a 1 minute cooldown. They added an extra 'identity' to the class, but that is in Tier 4. That's the reality of the game.
the skill is tier 4, if you don't have tier 4 you don't get it, seems logic and normal, start playing and work like everyone, or uninstall and leave
ppl arent capable of lying so you should launch the game and see 
Never did Vykas without paying cause noone wanted to play
what was his point btw doesnt ignite give u a free t4
With the current gold sinks that exist in the game, it's just not feasible to focus on alts. Getting alts up to 1540 is fine. Maybe even 1580. But beyond that is silly until another honing nerf is introduced.
he is not bringing up other things? it's like if we were complaining about having no mutliple set bonuses from Tier 2 Abyss Dungeons gear back when they introduced entropy, hallu, etc.
honestly, my class gets a new, more important skill on 4th enlightenment row at 1680, thats the real dogshit 
just solo it 5head
Yeah that was my whole point, the gold 
The gold isn't the problem lol. Getting up to 1580 isn't all that expensive.
It's getting to 1620. That's the problem
it can be expensive if you don't have a high ilvl main
its expensive either way
Well everyone has a ilvl main now.
how long is the downtime expected to be?
At that place in time solo mode was not even inplemented
Yes but me in t3 now know that a new skill for my class exists. and I want it. simple as that.
locking my new class skill behind giant progression is dumb.
don't forget, I want to PLAY the progression part while having fun. and knowing that there is 1 new skill I could potentially use to have more fun while progressing is what's grinding me.
I feel like playing without the new skill is not as fun even though I didn't use it.
Orehas are a must and gold is not existent before 1600 ... just start another char from scratch and try to play for a month you'll feel that something is wrongwith your progression Solo doesn't help shitt xdd
If they change it so we get our new skill in tier 3 I'll come back here and demand you quit. deal?
Oooohh nyooo, I want something, but I cannot have it yet, but I want it NOWWWW 😭
merci
Trust me.. hyper awakening and T skill is not as fun as you think it is. The hype dies down after like what.. a week?
child
Thats me selling rocks to get gold HAHA
i still like flying around with aero t skill
its fun to me
i just want my mayhem to get some love 😦

Well rn the gold its the only reason I cant even get to 1560
DPS pala basically beats a mayhem at this point xdd
new or returning players won't tho, and ignite I'd say is a trap as far as gold income for new players goes, because you don't know the raids that actually give decent gold
sorry for getting down on your level, but it had to be done so you get the point, which prob didn't happen anyway
I have tried this. It's really not that crazy as people make it out to be.
What ilvl is your main?
1558

Bruh... you are in the year 2022. Holy.
atp just roster transfer and make alts whenever events come along
take the ignite char, thats your new main, stop honing ur 1558 and wait for the next event, which u will use on that char to boost them u to t4 as well
repeat this 6 times for a full roster, never ush outside of events
so use it as a reason to get 1620
u get free ignite char ure chillinh
I know im focusing on my new summoner
use it as a drive to reach 1620 
dont spend the 200k gold on the 1558 btw
Nope, we're just different. I will never get your point and you will never get my point. so from here on don't reply to me thanks bye
Im a returning player leave aloneee
from scraper to summoner, what a fall from grace 

bro fomoing over a skill he just has to play ignite and transfer for 
Yeah its the only thing I dont like, I really love the scrapper
Kaya and brel pug lobbies still go on to this day. So it cannot be that bad to craft your own oreha using life skills.
if you returned to league you do not play with heal and ghost, you will equip flash for summoner spells
if returners are below 1610 i would prob recco just making ignite roster ur new home
depends how many chars you have
oh yea
im scrapper main and made a summoner on ignite first, got to 1580, did 1 akkan and realised this class fucking sucks 
might have a full roster of 1600~ its better to char transfer
and barrier 
On legacy you can give up if not at least 1610+ gold is not growing on tree ignite is the only solution even people banned from exploiting if they don't give up on the game made ignite to catch up 
getting TO 1620 was my idea before finding out the skills are locked
No that was not my point before with the alters it was about the gold need it to make it
ye so now you can get to 1620 to unlock them! 
sorry but your not making much sense
XD I kinda like it its one of my fav classes rn
you get to 1620 > finish story > run fort for t4 gear > transfer gear to 1640 > ???
i give up lol
there's your awakening / t skill
they broke you
after a 5 minute quest
looks like it

ultimately youre right, its not gold efficient to push alts outside of events, everyone knows that and nothings going to change about it, so just gotta adjust your expectations 
I just miss the good old times before the bots
Like for 1 day
theres not alot of bots anymore
theres less bots than there ever has been
compared to what it used to be
But the gold was nerfed so bad after the bots
there wwas never a time before the bots
i miss the zerk bots
The first 2 days wasnt that bad hahaha
now its just artys and sorcs
The skills are locked behind 1640 Ilvl. Yes.. it's called T4. Next tier. I can't figure out why you're crying about this. It's the game. Stop playing and walk away so odd to complain in a forum like this.
and 1620 is basically 90 minutes away from T4. not worth arguing
idk if youre playing around from this point on so I'll just say I think you're misunderstanding.
His problem is that he is not getting it right now, on let's say, 1415 ilvl char
Surely its a typo right
1min with knowledge transfer
if everyones misunderstanding you, maybe you should clarify instead of being dismissive
And not gonna take another whole day b4 we can transfer
nah, better play victim at this point 
I would do the same... If I had gold
north korea story is quick and probably worth the xp at that point

Why are you saying it like it's some universe given rule that the skills have to be locked behind t4?
buddy the whole argument is that its stupid for them to be locked that far in.
that's literally what I'm arguing against
well once you reach 1620 you essentially unlock hyper since all you do is north kurzan + fortress for 1640 (no gatekeeping just msq) and then if you're level 60 you unlock the hyper + T questline which is about 5-10mins and then you unlock the skill 
so it is actually gated behind level as well as ilvl
For character lvl ye
you have to be both ilvl1640 AND level 60
can yall stop engaging with him im actually getting mad
It's North and South Kazahstan
bit weird if you're 1640 and not lvl 60 though 
new players dont get auto lv60
they will on ignite

ye
but its still gated by level regardless of which you start at
we can safely assume future powerasses will put ur char at lvl 60 as well
If you could reply to me so i can at least see.
I tell ppl I don't want skills to be locked behind t4. they tell me reach t4 to get them.. who's really misunderstanding the other now?
it's either that or they just fooling with me
so in essence, assuming you have 1640, then you actually have to wait til level 60 to unlock hyper + T 
you said your plan was to get to 1620 until you found out it was locked behind t4
Ngnl having tskill early probably does way more harm than it does good with it's current set up
i.e. it's unlocked at level 60
That shit is 1k mana to cast
and 1620 is basically t4 anyway
mine isnt 
I dont even have it
900 for aero 
mana? whats that? 
I though ark passive was a myth
its over
uwu you can avert your eyes
I can't even cast mine properly as a blade atm
I need to swap either next or the week after
we said it's in T4, so that you get something "new", if you are below 1600 ilvl, everything is still new, 1600 on main chars, to clarify myself
ishy skill issuey
im about to be a mokoko yippee
Oh man
i will get free busses and anything i want yippeeeeee
wtb mokokos
With the skill. reach 1620 while using the new skills. which would've been more fun and I was hyped for it.
only 1 moko is needed for the rewards. If they have one chances are they wont accept you

THESE DUNCES AT AGS WTF
I neved got accepted in a party because of that green sht

erm
dont worry, their mokoko criteria is so bad that theres 0% chance a lobby will already have a mokoko 
i played with my friends til my mokoko seed got removed
when i cp77 getting a new dlc 
You can atleast get 1 and an accelerated 2nd character to 1620
unironically true id still say im new and im like 50 days into the game so far around there i think
Ignite 1-2 week
Chase the storm 3 weeks
or u can int mid lane
when you what

is chase the storm doing a part 2?
is*
Enemy triple kill bot lane
No but we have it until late Nov
aw
So new/returning can still use it
In my native language everytime someone ask for ppl to play, they only say "Uninstall that shitty game" so its quite complicated
i need more armor tickets

i got lured in by my mmo friends i play legit only fps and sometimes moba 💀
last mmo i played was eso
@tidal badger you better have a seed after maint or im not carrying you through raids anymore
never

My first mmo was Tera when I was looking for free games in my recently bought xbox one
So its quite the same since I was a bf kid
what a throwback
dont say that
the devs themselves said so
Time to get nostalgic
it's jover for cp2077, look forward to the sequel
i miss eso i used to run my ole high elf sorc
From just the reddit and this discord one I can understand why new players never stick. it feels very elitist from everyone. they don't like that I want something that they had to work for.
I don't think you guys actually care about the skills themselves, you just care that I want something for free.
so we have elixir gatekeeping. trans gatekeeping. gem and card gatekeeping
and now it's fun gatekeeping xD
cyberpunk is still very replayable ngl
i didnt have to work for t skill i got it for free after transferring to t4 
I am all for old systems being easier for new players
there was a 5 min purple quest with beatrice tbf, taht was pretty taxing work
oh they did
i think the game is quite fun as a new player, u just have to get over a bunch of hurdles, people don't stick to the game because the game has a bunch of evergreen systems in earlier tiers that still stick around in later tiers, when they should scrap it

I honestly don't think getting to 1620 is to unlock your tskill and hyper is anything crazy
it is quite dumb as a newer player i had to spend 300k gold for full transc, had to spend an extra 40k off of elxirs bc u run out of event elixirs, and the elixir system is horrid
Are you not playing the ignite server?
not to mention honing, an extra 200k even with books from 1540-1620
rng is rng
only 200k? cap
i started playing like a week and a half before mokoko event end
where are you getting 600k as a new player 
Yeh the dead zone between 1600-1620 is weird
ain't no way this man spent less on honing than trans
mokoko seeds, fate embers, i got turbo lucky
Fr I need that information
this guy got jackpots? GET HIM
i also did a lot of life skills
Idk why there is such a big void there
dude i got 3 100k jackpots with 2 100k fate embers 💀

how many Arktober lucky mokokos?
brother 💀
ah, you're one of those people that drain the luck of the whole server
OOOOH IM MAD NOWWWW 😡
see thats all you need as a new player
i dont see why people complain
They even removed the majority of the books from event shop including the refund ones and no oreha
I can buy 500 gold chest and Ill always get only coins, I fail 90% honing
Rng never loved me
im not complaining, in fact im thankful in my shoes, but its horrid if u dont get as lucky as i was
kinda weird they removed oreha
im broke rn because of transc, it's actually insane
@slender carbon ur doing 3x temper 3x t4 for gear on ur naw right
books are whatever
You have to do 2 temper +10
I mean the game is grind for new and veteran players getting to 1620 which is starting point for t4 in a pair of weeks is fast enough
Hone them to t4 +12
isnt 3x already 1630?
Why would you transfer non honed pieces
im legitimately gatekept from the remainder of end game tho bc i only have 1 other char (before ignite) at 1540 atm, just because of the dumbass card sets
You need to advanced hone them
oh ya fair
So you aren't waiting to drop 1.6m shards
you get free 30 scales from transfer
so nm echidna week 1 hm echidna week 2
Starting today you will get more reward by taking you into their raids so you will get gatekept less
Idk
Most likely?
You kinda want to try hit 1630
assuming you are the lucky mokoko they chose
ive done all raids in the game, im moreso talking about aegir, ill continue to get gatekept without minimum los24
And do hechi
which is horrendous
yee it's 3x xfer for 1630 so if you temper 3 you can do it
30 scales from ignite package + nm rewards
then week 2 youre 1630 with 3x/3x
with tempered 3pc so you can adv the t3 other pc
it's 1630 just with 3pc xfer
No shit
where theyre all tempered but no adv
Brel requières another set then LOS so at least next raid you won’t get gatekept by cards
so then you adv the last 2
nobodys gonna have that set for a while, itll be los gatekeep for a while
it doesnt. in g1 and g2p2 it does slightly more damage but it does not "require" the new set
im ngl tho its quite tilting they dont just give free azena balthorr for dd, they're just giving 5 selection packs, which is still a lot
los30 will still outdamage it for a long time
You are not transferring any pieces that aren't +10 advances berry
but not something i necessarily want atm
even in kr they still dont gatekeep based off of the lightning los
im los 14 total rn
oh are you planning on +10 each piece before xfer?
ye cards are the worst part of this game by far, only the people with los30 that forget how bad it is hate trans/elixirs more than it
you can keep the dd/plan from ignite though right?
nope
idk if its roster or char transfer
only cards that you've actually registered stay im p sure
they arent going to leave you with zero cards
so unless you've acquired the actual cards
