lost-ark-discussions

[buoyant wagon]

what other stuff do these boxes contain, i forgot

[swift lava]

[azure valley]

but yeah they've rarely been great value, but anytime i've checked they were slightly cheaper than market

[swift lava]

fucking shit game

[azure valley]

leaps/crystals/shards i think maybe some orehas?

[cedar zealot]

have u seen that post in kr about the new 16 man raid? @buoyant wagon

[buoyant wagon]

if it's all honing mats

[cedar zealot]

it didnt even get covered by many ppl cause of all the drama

[buoyant wagon]

they've pretty much never been worth it compared to the dark arts

[buoyant wagon]

no

[fallen vigil]

ngl i wish we had more packages that were kinda good

the only thing i buy are the silvery honor boxes

[dim lark]

let's fucking go

[buoyant wagon]

the newer packs have been competitive up until recently i think

[valid turtle]

I might be inspired to swipe if it would give me more than a handful of taps

[buoyant wagon]

the punika growth packs are absolutely a meme though

[valid turtle]

If you could buy meaningful progression

I feel like so many more people would buy

Possibly myself included

[cedar zealot]

gz

[buoyant wagon]

well, the dark arts technically = the market though

[valid turtle]

Like imagine monthly selection card packs

[buoyant wagon]

since you're buying gold to buy off market

[fallen vigil]

sad life we live ngl

[valid turtle]

Bro I need to go apply to ags

[fallen vigil]

monthly selection would be super sick

[valid turtle]

Imma make them so much money

[fallen vigil]

but they would probably charge 100 bucks

[azure valley]

from anytime i've checked they've always been slightly better than the exchange, worse than selling skins though

[valid turtle]

Ya if they are fucking stupid

[buoyant wagon]

i wouldnt really know about non-rmt comparison

since i never check that

[fallen vigil]

i hope anniversary skins go up in april so i can make some bank

[valid turtle]

You make that monthly selector twenty bucks everyone would buy it

[buoyant wagon]

i just check to see if the RC cost in dollars matches up to the dark arts gold cost

[quiet igloo]

Make it a hundred and I'd buy it

[buoyant wagon]

im surprised we never got chaos stone packs in the shop

kr and cn both have them

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

ru im not sure but probably

[quiet igloo]

Bc nobody cares

If people cared, we'd have them

[buoyant wagon]

they would have cared back then

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

cared as in, relevant to buy

[quiet igloo]

You f2p rats are the problem

[buoyant wagon]

since stones werent roster bound

[quiet igloo]

I say we ban all f2p

And keep whale

[fallen vigil]

because they hate us

[dim lark]

bruh i still can't believe i hit 40

OMFG

[prime wind]

technically thats what bot waves do

[buoyant wagon]

i'd honestly give ags the benefit of the doubt in the pricing situation

and say they've always wanted to not let the cash shop be overly instrusively p2w

[quiet igloo]

Ags doesn't price though

Isn't that smilegate?

[buoyant wagon]

they talk to sg about it

and work out something they both agree on

[prime wind]

publishers can definitely have say over cash shop/transactions

[quiet igloo]

So they don't price it yeah

It's a joint effort

Which is different

[azure valley]

ah i guess honing mats slightly went down recently so its slightly mmost efficienct on exchange

[buoyant wagon]

they have a lot more pull in this regard

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

than other areas like "nerf honing"

[quiet igloo]

Still

[azure valley]

roughly 73k from exchange, vs 71k from the 5000 rc box

[prime wind]

but i think ags is fine with it

in terms of cosmetic money gains and what they do sell

[fallen vigil]

red stones are crazy rn

[buoyant wagon]

it would be nice if the shop had better deals

[fallen vigil]

at least for nae

[buoyant wagon]

but i get why they might not want to go that route

either way the optics suck

[prime wind]

i feel like we should really have mari sync up now at least

[azure valley]

negligible difference either way, you aren't getting those or using the exchange if you care about efficiency

[buoyant wagon]

and they likely rather stick to their original stance of minimizing cash shop p2w

[swift lava]

this game is a fucking joke lmao

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

maris should definitely be something that's constantly updated

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

at least in cn

shop is competitive with rmt

[prime wind]

like those card packs should be doubled nowadays

[quiet igloo]

Why

[buoyant wagon]

which is why even people who rmt still buy the shop packs

[prime wind]

since we are no longer in catchup phase with them

[quiet igloo]

[azure valley]

is there a large enough volume in the shop though

[buoyant wagon]

there's

a lot of packs in the shop

[azure valley]

or is it like a couple packs you buy every month

[quiet igloo]

Should give me the names of those "people"

[azure valley]

thats overall kinda negligible

[buoyant wagon]

a lot you buy monthly

[fallen vigil]

you know i have a feeling they might update the shop this next upcoming patch

because a lot of ppl have raised the concern

[buoyant wagon]

you can easily drop hundreds a month

on the monthly packs

[fallen vigil]

so im copium

[quiet igloo]

I already do

[fallen vigil]

same

[quiet igloo]

They aren't worth it though

[fallen vigil]

i think i spent 500 on all the packages for anniversary last month

[buoyant wagon]

tencent definitely keeps track of rmt prices

and releases their packs to compete with them

[quiet igloo]

[wind dagger]

imagine

[fallen vigil]

wait serenei u have cn connects?

[wind dagger]

ags doing that for us

[buoyant wagon]

that's also why they pretty much never ban any buyers either

because they know their buyers are also getting from the shop

[buoyant wagon]

i have a lot of cn friends, yes

[fallen vigil]

damn whats the community looking like are they gatekeeping yet

[dull obsidian]

@obtuse oyster

[buoyant wagon]

i pilot a couple accounts every week

[dull obsidian]

Got carried gg

[buoyant wagon]

there are too many lobbies to effectively be perma gatekept

[dull obsidian]

hmm

fuck I want to play CN now too

game is same size?

[fallen vigil]

thats the fucking dream lmao

[dull obsidian]

probably a bit smaller because language

[quiet igloo]

Doesn't the CN version require a wechat account

[midnight marlin]

cn phone number

[buoyant wagon]

but yeah there's still gatekeeping as in, if everyone has a 1560+ weapon for that brel room, they're not taking you if you only have a 1520 weapon

[fallen vigil]

im actually glad cn got lost ark now so sg can get some funding hopefully the new director does osme good changes

[still lintel]

ishy carried by kassadin?

[buoyant wagon]

cn phone number that can't be an app generated one

[urban obsidian]

[buoyant wagon]

[dull obsidian]

[fallen vigil]

[dull obsidian]

[buoyant wagon]

[fallen vigil]

if i don't lag games dead

[dull obsidian]

[quiet igloo]

[dull obsidian]

Thats good enough

[buoyant wagon]

pass is your typical punika pass

[dull obsidian]

[buoyant wagon]

no info on express

[quiet igloo]

Oh

[buoyant wagon]

probably 1415 or 1430

[dull obsidian]

Serenei no cap

you should make one

[buoyant wagon]

because their "paid" express is 1430

[dull obsidian]

wtf?

Paid express

[urban obsidian]

top + supp gap

[fallen vigil]

PAID EXPRESS?

[quiet igloo]

Can you make purchases w USD in the Chinese version or is that like, not possible

[dawn yacht]

[fallen vigil]

or u mean paid boost

[buoyant wagon]

[fallen vigil]

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

it's actually not overpriced

relative to their market

1575 to 1615 weapon alone is like 12-13k

[quiet igloo]

Well it has a 9/7

[buoyant wagon]

9/7 of your choice is like 16-18k

[quiet igloo]

Holy shit

[buoyant wagon]

[dull obsidian]

gonna ask if I can play on my brothers acc

[buoyant wagon]

cds are 200k or so last i checked, dmg is like 600k

[midnight marlin]

so the general population?

[obtuse oyster]

[dull obsidian]

Next week D2

[buoyant wagon]

or full 10s failing to show up on mvp screen in brel

[quiet igloo]

That's just whales being whales though

Like

[buoyant wagon]

they have a lot more bad whales than we do

[quiet igloo]

99% of them are dog shit

[dull obsidian]

all these games I got 1 rank

[quiet igloo]

[buoyant wagon]

since it's a lot more "culturally accepted" to whale your way out of raiding

[urban obsidian]

[urban obsidian]

i DIDNT perma lose streak

[buoyant wagon]

[buoyant wagon]

just a loose group of people who probably raided together once or twice

and decided to hang out because otherwise this game is boring

[quiet igloo]

Regrettably, it's time for a less-than-pleasant announcement. Brace yourselves for the not-so-glorious news that our Lost Ark group has officially disbanded. Why, you ask? Well, let's not beat around the bush – our collective inability to deliver even a semblance of decent damage per second (DPS) during the supposedly challenging new hell mode, Brelshaza, played a pivotal role in this fiasco.

I wish I could say our demise was due to some epic boss fight that pushed us to our limits, but in reality, we couldn't even handle the basics. The 110x mech? Failed attempts galore. The cube? A joke that we just couldn't get right, no matter how many times we tried.

To those who contributed to our lackluster performance, congratulations on achieving the remarkable feat of making something that should have been enjoyable and challenging into an absolute disaster. It's not every day you witness a group fail so spectacularly at hitting a simple DPS threshold.

As we part ways, take a moment to reflect on the legacy we leave behind – a legacy of mediocrity, frustration, and, quite frankly, embarrassment. May you all find new groups that can tolerate your lack of skill or embark on solo journeys where your incompetence won't be a burden to others.

it Regrettably, it's time for a less-than-pleasant announcement. Brace yourselves for the not-so-glorious news that our Lost Ark group has officially disbanded. Why, you ask? Well, let's not beat around the bush – our collective inability to deliver even a semblance of decent damage per second (DPS) during the supposedly challenging new hell mode, Brelshaza, played a pivotal role in this fiasco.

I wish I could say our demise was due to some epic boss fight that pushed us to our limits, but in reality, we couldn't even handle the basics. The 110x mech? Failed attempts galore. The cube? A joke that we just couldn't get right, no matter how many times we tried.

To those who contributed to our lackluster performance, congratulations on achieving the remarkable feat of making something that should have been enjoyable and challenging into an absolute disaster. It's not every day you witness a group fail so spectacularly at hitting a simple DPS threshold.

As we part ways, take a moment to reflect on the legacy we leave behind – a legacy of mediocrity, frustration, and, quite frankly, embarrassment. May you all find new groups that can tolerate your lack of skill or embark on solo journeys where your incompetence won't be a burden to others.

every new raid release there's technically an official "race" where if you are the first teams to clear you get a mention on the newsletter

[midnight marlin]

[dull obsidian]

wdf

[swift lava]

[midnight marlin]

we love crunchyroll!

[dull obsidian]

lmao

[midnight marlin]

i aint even play

[buoyant wagon]

also i have nothing to do even if i took stuff on an account because i dont fucking play there ordinarily lol

[dull obsidian]

oh lmao

[midnight marlin]

i just know cause citail

[swift lava]

nice. ty lost ark for giving me legendary card from chaos dungeon and giving me one of the only 2 ones i have maxed out

[midnight marlin]

and my game is eos too

[dull obsidian]

hmm

[swift lava]

game is too generous tbh

[prime wind]

complaining about card exp

[queen grail]

Yes.

[dull obsidian]

how do they call shapes in brel g2?

[buoyant wagon]

@dull obsidian you know what will be popping there in cn but no other region

rowen

[swift lava]

yea the card xp that doesn't even give me 3k. i should be more grateful

[midnight marlin]

isnt shapes called normally

[buoyant wagon]

[dull obsidian]

LMAO

holy shit

you're right

[prime wind]

[buoyant wagon]

apparently island pvp is very competitive there

[dull obsidian]

is the pvp scene still active

[buoyant wagon]

so rowen should be popping

[dull obsidian]

I remember it being really big

[cedar zealot]

[buoyant wagon]

rowen also on the 13th

will see how it's like there

[dull obsidian]

wait

is it all 1 big region with a lot of servers

[buoyant wagon]

pretty much yeah

[dull obsidian]

holy

[buoyant wagon]

but there are some very small servers

[dull obsidian]

The game hopefully is passable with no communication

[buoyant wagon]

why would you want to play there again

[swift lava]

how far am i gonna be able to push my weapon this week 44k red stones

[obtuse oyster]

Om

[buoyant wagon]

it's all old content

you cant communicate

[obtuse oyster]

44% art energy

[wind dagger]

fucking hell

[buoyant wagon]

you probably cant swipe ingame unless you have a wechat/alipay/whatever

[midnight marlin]

does cn have meter?

[dull obsidian]

ye I have a wechat

[wind dagger]

I was stuck in a fucking corner

[buoyant wagon]

no meter

probably will never get one

[prime wind]

only abacus

[swift lava]

[midnight marlin]

i was gonna say ishy try to agent so hard

with dps

[dull obsidian]

how is the average player of CN

[buoyant wagon]

especially since whatever tencent runs on your pc will detect it unless you VM

[swift lava]

https://tenor.com/view/emma-roberts-bitch-chanel-oberling-scream-queens-i-will-destroy-you-gif-8626138

[buoyant wagon]

also they will be 20x more toxic with meter

than we ever are

[dull obsidian]

ye lmao

[buoyant wagon]

because they will finally realize how garbage the +25 weapon full 10 gems player is

how subhuman their supports are

[dull obsidian]

theres no way they wouldn't be

[buoyant wagon]

how useless spec is on supports

[dull obsidian]

if you can outdamage them

[swift lava]

i mean if they have level 10 there is no way they aren't doing atleast decent damage, right?

[buoyant wagon]

why the average player is doing like 2m dps at 1540

[dull obsidian]

oh yeh is spec support still "viable" in CN

[prime wind]

spec bards

[queen grail]

Yo, this fucking bard in my Kaya RAN AWAY during bomb mech @obtuse oyster Please, come EU and save me.

[obtuse oyster]

[buoyant wagon]

i want to kill myself whenever i have to pug there

or pilot someone who is running a spec support

[obtuse oyster]

[dull obsidian]

om

[buoyant wagon]

fucking 900 spec 1300 swift artist

level 5 gems

[wind dagger]

[buoyant wagon]

or 1700 spec bard with level 5s

[dull obsidian]

LMAO

[buoyant wagon]

literal aids

[dull obsidian]

2 minute htune cd fr

[supple parrot]

Piloting cn

[buoyant wagon]

i can gatekeep them if im lobby leader

at least

[obtuse oyster]

Spec artist

[buoyant wagon]

luckily

i have not seen a full spec artist

but lots of 800-1k spec ones

[dull obsidian]

full spec seems so bad..

even worse than pally

[buoyant wagon]

but spec pally

that's a thing i've seen

full spec

[obtuse oyster]

Shorely cn will have their awakening like the west did

[buoyant wagon]

they got poisoned by dumbass RU "vets"

[dull obsidian]

I played spec bard in hell valtan on release

God I wanted to kms

[buoyant wagon]

who theorycraft too hard about z buff ceilings

[queen grail]

What is this even He legit, ran away, he was away so long he HOLSTERD HIS WEAPON!

[dull obsidian]

is supp shortage huge?

Supps require no SP

I might make one

[buoyant wagon]

regarding this, average player plays like what the average player played like when we were at their content

not that great

[dull obsidian]

[obtuse oyster]

Yet they ignore ap and brand uptime and realistic raid performance

[buoyant wagon]

no support shortage currently but will be soon with 1560 brel

[dull obsidian]

wdf

[buoyant wagon]

that's in part because supports are not expected to atk buff there

[cursive ruin]

full lv10 gem 300 roster los 30

[dull obsidian]

so I can't just cheese by picking support?

[buoyant wagon]

they are just expected to heal and keep people alive

[obtuse oyster]

Took almost 2 years for the average shitter to stop trying spec bard and spec pally here

[cursive ruin]

[prime wind]

mah brand uptime is made up for mah BIG BUFF

[buoyant wagon]

atk buffs are secondary

[queen grail]

I pray, one day, supports learn, that you also do damage buff by mitigating damage to people so they can keep uptime.

[buoyant wagon]

if dps die due to damage, it's the support's fault

[obtuse oyster]

Ain’t no way

[dull obsidian]

wait so I'd be considered a shit supp?

[buoyant wagon]

the philosophy is that since most people overhoned weapon

[swift lava]

Do not push to 1610 on alts not worth

[buoyant wagon]

you can just slog through a raid if everyone is topped off

[fresh flint]

[buoyant wagon]

instead of well, dodging attacks and letting support atk buff you to hit it harder and finish faster

[swift lava]

Only reason I did it was because he was already 1605

[obtuse oyster]

Where 1620

[prime wind]

they need akkan to change their mental

[queen grail]

If you don't give me this I don't love you @obtuse oyster

[buoyant wagon]

nobody will ever bitch at you in a pug for having shit uptime on atk buffs

[swift lava]

I don’t have all my akkan pieces yet on my main

[buoyant wagon]

because nobody is paying attention to it, well almost nobody

[swift lava]

Next week tho

[obtuse oyster]

Ain’t no way you posted that

[buoyant wagon]

but people will bitch at you for not healing

[queen grail]

I posted a paint project.

[prime wind]

once akkan comes out they will have the mentality switch

just like us

[swift lava]

Akkan?

You mean China?

[obtuse oyster]

[queen grail]

Someone drew that to me to show me what I should aim for, what are you implying here? That I would play with cheaters? I can't with you @obtuse oyster You hurt me. It's over, I'm breaking up.

[buoyant wagon]

only special treatment supports will get are if they are 1560+

kind of like 1620+ supports here

[prime wind]

makes sense

[queen grail]

[swift lava]

Never pushing my sup

[swift lava]

He has enough mats to hit 1580 too

[prime wind]

how are the mats there, could ishy for example 1 char 1560 decently easily

[obtuse oyster]

Akkan would reinforce it

[prime wind]

no passes right

[buoyant wagon]

there is no way you are 1 character andying without heavy swiping

[prime wind]

nah not without bible

[queen grail]

To be fair, I'm never getting the book, I'm to nervous, imagine if It's a virus @obtuse oyster no way broski.

[buoyant wagon]

in fact

[prime wind]

they will greed and just int, here ppl int cause they chase numbers

[buoyant wagon]

starting from brel hm

[queen grail]

Also, It's not allowed and I follow the land of the law.

[buoyant wagon]

you arguably cannot f2p and reach ilvl for the latest content on week 1

[dawn yacht]

alienware arena giving free nitro keys

[buoyant wagon]

unless your definition of f2p is be "gifted" other accounts

[queen grail]

Corpa?

[buoyant wagon]

and you grind more than 1 account

[wind dagger]

[obtuse oyster]

The amount of dmg that they would take in akkan would just reinforce supports should be healing

[buoyant wagon]

like brel hm g4 right now is an extremely unreasonable ask for the average player who isn't spending a decent amount

brel nm 1/31

[prime wind]

nah stacks and the additional mechs

[buoyant wagon]

brel hm 3/13

[prime wind]

are a big deterrent

[buoyant wagon]

that's 1.5 months from 1520 to 1560

[queen grail]

Can you TL:DR the convo that's going on, I legit have no idea, are people saying support healing = bad?

[prime wind]

that being said tho thank u chris today for taking every front grab so we could just whale on akkan g1

[queen grail]

@silver hollow Look at this evil.

[prime wind]

hes my mvp

[buoyant wagon]

there are no enrage timers strict enough that as long as everyone is alive and decently pressing buttons, even with no attacks buffs, that the raid wont clear

so it's very hard to get CN to change their attitude on "first priority for supports is to heal"

[obtuse oyster]

China are huge supporters of spec supports and don’t care about uptime on brand and ap buffs and rather have supports focus on keeping the party alive rather than maximize dmg

[prime wind]

yeah fat 1 bubble heals ez clear

[buoyant wagon]

spec supports are also incidentally a lot cheaper to gear so they have the same rat support issue as we do

[queen grail]

Oh, that's kinda wild.
Also, wait, if they want supports to focus on keeping party alive, shouldn't they favour swift supports then?

Someone said something and insta deleted it.

What the.

[buoyant wagon]

they want to have their cake and eat it, e.g. "ceiling on z buffs" while also healing

[obtuse oyster]

Thaemine incident in bound

[swift lava]

Wow body shaming in 2024 crazy

[buoyant wagon]

which doesnt make sense but what can you do

[prime wind]

nah its the 1 bubble heals until dps window then pop stimmy TAKE MY SOCIAL CREDIT 3 BUBBLE BUFF!!!!!

[buoyant wagon]

heals are favored over DR that is not awakening

[queen grail]

Huh.
Ok, that's a bit wonky.

I mean, each region is going to have their own take on "whats the best to do".

[buoyant wagon]

people get antsy when they drop below 50 or 60% and supports dont heal

[lapis matrix]

At least they know they can’t do damage when dead

[queen grail]

I think it was in KR for instance, they don't do the Support bait mirror proc at 9 o clock that 90%+ of players do in G3 Kaya in EU (Unsure about NA).

[buoyant wagon]

most bards i have seen only run 1 brand

[obtuse oyster]

Meanwhile people here goblino till they hit like 20

[buoyant wagon]

predictably their brand uptime is dog

[queen grail]

I run 1 on VPH - 2 on meta.

1 Brand is kinda shit for uptime tho

[buoyant wagon]

nobody runs max mp there

[obtuse oyster]

Please god tell me it isn’t ss

[buoyant wagon]

probably because its hard to run out of mp with no swift

[prime wind]

or casts

[queen grail]

Spec bards don't use Max MP ye.

Since It's useless.

[buoyant wagon]

it is

[obtuse oyster]

Om

[buoyant wagon]

at least in most cases i have witnessed

[prime wind]

weird surprised they dont run harp

[queen grail]

I mean, If you're going to only run 1, SS is not bad.

[buoyant wagon]

i swapped it out and explained why on the accounts i piloted

[prime wind]

for easier mode

[quartz turret]

i mean thats kinda like na/eu at start

[prime wind]

esp for spec

[obtuse oyster]

They should just run sontina at that point if they don’t care about brand uptime

[buoyant wagon]

i also investigated why some people's artists ran out of mana

turns out they didnt run any focus runes

[obtuse oyster]

At least get some meter gen

[buoyant wagon]

they really love quick recharge

[obtuse oyster]

Om

[queen grail]

That being said, spec bards are at least fun when you synch up dmg buff and big stuff.

Like Robust bomba

[obtuse oyster]

Nah, we didn’t have sontina or wide use of the Bible

[tulip charm]

wait....

[obtuse oyster]

So people just default ran the stagger setup

[prime wind]

if anything its probably closer to whale korea

[queen grail]

Go away sideral dropper

[prime wind]

than here

[buoyant wagon]

i saw a wealth on artist brand yesterday

i was like ?????

[tulip charm]

this sold extremely fast, under an hour

[fresh flint]

6 months or more***

[midnight marlin]

its

not may

[urban obsidian]

I don’t even have

[obtuse oyster]

And this man has the audacity to complain

[prime wind]

this is a lenient punishment

[urban obsidian]

Wings bro

[queen grail]

I agree, please ban him @obtuse oyster

[fresh flint]

I’ve never seen someone so pepega get so lucky for no damn reason

[queen grail]

Go fuck yourself How about that?

[turbid oriole]

[queen grail]

https://tenor.com/view/block-blocked-report-gif-13913531

[buoyant wagon]

oh yeah i see soundaholic a lot on the bards i piloted

[turbid oriole]

its okay he was dropped on the head

[prime wind]

man made 1888 raids gold

[obtuse oyster]

It’s always the pepegas

[buoyant wagon]

despite there being no meaningful stagger check needed for bard to take it in brel

[fresh flint]

[obtuse oyster]

Om

[queen grail]

@silver hollow Look at this fucker.

[obtuse oyster]

So they are full spec

Running the non meter builds

[buoyant wagon]

a lot of full spec

a lot of 50/50s

[wind dagger]

@turbid oriole do I need to get the Aly copy pasta again

[buoyant wagon]

mostly level 5s, sometimes level 7s

[obtuse oyster]

What is that region

[turbid oriole]

wtf is the aly copypasta

[wind dagger]

[lapis matrix]

Sorry man can’t afford 50 crystals for another loadout slot

[buoyant wagon]

i convinced most of the people i play with to start switching back to full swift

other than bard if they want to go like 30/70

or 50/50 as a compromise even though that still sucks

[queen grail]

Sure, If you want to be blocked

[tulip charm]

but i have never gotten 3 embers in 1 screen like u have -_-

[obtuse oyster]

They legit gain soooo much more with swift

[tulip charm]

feels glad man, went from 30k no gold no spare gems to having some gold again

[fresh flint]

Shut the fuck up talking bout some damn embers
